Millville, MN - Following an unusual sequence of events at Steel City two weeks ago, the Motoworks Can-Am duo of Chad Wienen and John Natalie still clench the points lead over the rest of the field heading into round seven at Spring Creek MX in Millville, Minn. this weekend.

Wisconsin's Nick DeNoble will be on home territory in MN this weekendChad Wienen swept the first moto at Steel City before running into mechanical issues at the start of moto two, preventing him from starting the race. The Can-Am rider still managed to claim a sixth overall from his 1-17 finishes - good enough to keep his points lead in the series standings.

Wienen's Can-Am counterpart Natalie took a hard fall in moto one, causing him to finish back in 14th place in moto one but after a top five finish in moto two, Natalie was able to finish inside the top ten overall to secure his second position in points.

Blood is flowing high as veteran Joe Byrd is coming off his first win of the season at Steel City, while Rookie Chase Snapp has stepped up his early game by securing his first-ever Pro class podium last round. Another heavy hitter to keep an eye on is the Ballance Racing Yamaha of Thomas Brown. All three of these riders have shown the ability to contest on the podium; it's just a matter of putting together races from beginning to end.

Is anybody able to see live results through escore? The 'event' doesnt even pull up for me. Was wanting to see some amatuer results as well.

escore not up until after 9:30am for regular practice. Did not have the qualifier times for Pro-am. no phone service so it would be nice if escore had that on.

I dont think escore can get service out of there
