Hetrick’s ability to keep three-time champion

DASA Racing's
Joel Hetrick claimed the ATVriders.com
Fastest Qualifer Award Point for the third
straight race

Hetrick’s day started as it had the past two
rounds, earning his third-consecutive ATVRiders.com
Top Qualifier Award of the season. Heading into
the fourth points-paying stop of the championship,
the Honda rider had collected two first-moto wins,
but hadn’t been able to get that all-important
second moto figured out. In Tennessee, Hetrick
was able to do it again in Moto 1, leading every
lap.

Win

Behind Hetrick in the opening moto, current points
leader Chad Wienen had a more difficult go of
it aboard his Wienen Motorsports/Maxxis/SSi Decals/Walsh
Race Craft Yamaha. Wienen suffered from a mid-pack
start and was forced to work his way through from
eighth place. He needed every lap to eventually
pass Thomas Brown for second place on the final
lap. Wienen’s pass on the Maxxis Yamaha, powered
by Moto-Xperts, rider dropped Brown to third.

recovery
