Chad Wienen sets the fastest lap time
of the day with 1:47:055 |
Bowling Green, KY (4/12/2008) -
Chad Wienen put his name on top of the order,
recording the fastest time in qualifying
Saturday for tomorrow's Bluegrass ATV National
at Ballance Moto X. The event is Round 3
of the 2008 ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA
Motocross Championship Series presented
by Parts Unlimited.
Wienen (No. 44 Team Rockstar/MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro
Taper) in fact turned the fastest lap of
the day, recording a time of one minute
and 47.055 seconds. Josh Creamer (No. 9
Monster Energy Drink/Kawasaki) was second
quickest, just three tenths off of Wienen's
time. Points leader Dustin Wimmer (No. 191
Team MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro Taper) completed
the top three.
"This team is just so dedicated to
excellence," said Wienen of his Team
Suzuki factory squad. "They choose
the best components and, by far, we have
the fastest bikes out there.
"It's just a total package,"
Wienen continued. "I do my training
to keep my end of the bargain up, but it
makes it much easier to have the bike to
back that up. I just went out there and
did whatever I could to make the team look
good."
Josh Upperman, John Ragon, Rocco Arno,
Jr., and Richard Pelchat all qualified for
the final through the Last Chance Qualifier
(LCQ). Thomas Hager, Nate Morello, Greg
Meeks, Hunter Miller, Trent Kandel, Justin
Bush and Christopher Tait didn't qualify.
Racing continues tomorrow with final Pro
qualifying scheduled for 10 a.m., followed
by final motos at noon and at 3 p.m. Tomorrow
will also feature a full card of Amateur,
Youth and Women's racing
