Galena, IL (7/13/2017) - This
past weekend the AMA ATV MX National Championship
series took to Spring Creek MX in Millville,
Minn. where Wienen Motorsport's Chad Wienen
went 2-2 overall for second overall for the
weekend.
Wienen got off to a mid pack start in moto
1, coming out of the first turn just outside
the top five. Making quick passes Wienen moved
up into the third place position before the
end of the first lap. Wienen went to work
and moved up into the second place position
just before the third lap. With over a seven
second gap between Wienen and the first place
rider by the time he moved into third Wienen
was unable to close the gap and took second
in moto 1.

With a better start in moto 2, Wienen came
out of the first turn in second and was able
to make a pass for the lead on the second
lap through the infamous Millville whoop section.
After starting to extend a lead, Wienen nearly
crashed but managed to stay on top of the
machine. Falling back into second Wienen had
a near five-second gap between himself and
the rider in first and finished the moto in
second.
"Riding back in the Midwest felt great
and had awesome support from my Fans and Team.
Getting my starts back in line was key this
weekend and made for smoother laps. Moto 1
went good with a 2nd place finish setting
me up for a overall. Moto 2 came out second
and made quick work of the rider out front
and started to build my lead and about the
halfway point had a big issue on the track
that lead to me nearly loosing my machine
but was able to recover and finish in second
to secure a podium. Happy with the Team's
performance and working towards Unadilla MX
here in the next week" said Wienen.
The AMA ATV MX National Championship series
heads to Unadilla Raceway in New Berlin, New
York on July 17th for the next round of racing.
