Chad Wienen & John Natalie Jr. battled for the lead early on in Moto 3

The third moto brought a close battle. Wienen had a good start and moved into second on lap one. He moved on to battle with Root River Racing’s John Natalie who had the early lead. The pair battled back and forth until lap three when Natalie collided with Wienen sending them both off the track. Wienen came out of the scramble quickly, and moved into the lead just ahead of Joel Hetrick, while Natalie was thrown from his quad, which sent him back several position. Wienen held the lead for the remainder of the nine lap race and took the win by an impressive 06.538 over Joel Hetrick.

The score card of 1-1-1 earned Wienen the win and a check for $10,000. “It’s a great honor to be a part of this race and to sweep all three motos is icing on the cake. This is an awesome feeling and I couldn’t be happier. Hats off to all my sponsors that helped get me here! I feel awesome and it’s an honor to take this win home,” said Wienen from the podium.

Hetrick Racing’s Joel Hetrick claimed the second podium spot after scoring 2-4-2. Hetrick had a good start in moto one and moved into third on lap three. He had the hammer down and clocked the fastest lap of the moto, an impressive 01:50.634 on lap four. He took over second on lap five where he remained for the rest of the moto. He took second with nearly a ten second gap over third.
