#13 John Natalie & #44 Chad Chad Wienen
were off to great starts in Moto One running
in 2nd & 3rd |
Can-Am/ Motoworks’ John Natalie flew off
the line in second place right behind Josh Upperman
and was putting up quite a fight for the lead.
Natalie was right on Upperman as teammate Chad
Wienen began to challenge the Ironman for his
spot. The teammates would battle for a lap, and
just as Wienen was going for the inside pass,
he would hit a kicker and the pair would connect,
sending both Can-Am riders tumbling.
Natalie would come back quickly in seventh place
and hang on for a sixth place finish. Despite
getting pretty banged up, Natalie came back strong
in moto two, coming off the line in the top five.
Natalie would work his way up and take a solid
third place finish in moto two to claim fourth
overall.

Despite
John Natalie crash in Moto One, which
had the announcers questioning if Natalie
would even race moto 2, the "Ironman"
Natalie was back on the gas in Moto 2
as he charged to an impressive third place
finish

| DWT's
Jeremie Warnia suffered a blown rear shock
in Moto 1, but he still managed to secure
a season best Top 5 Overall Finish |
Can-Am/Motoworks’ Jeremie Warnia would
get off to a top five start, but he would fall
back to finish in ninth place in moto one after
casing the pro whoops section that would blow
out his rear shock. Warnia came back strong in
moto two to take a sixth place finish and round
out the top five overall.
Greg Gee would finish moto one in eighth place
after battling with Nick DeNoble. In moto two,
he and DeNoble would again go tire to tire, with
Gee coming out ahead in seventh place to put him
in sixth overall.
Nick DeNoble would hold his own for moto one,
taking a seventh place finish and in moto two,
he would claim a solid seventh to take seventh
overall, his best finish so far this season, which
could perhaps be due to his mentor, Doug Gust
being there to coach and support DeNoble for this
round.

The
hometown favorite, Motoworks' Chad Wienen |
Chad Wienen was in a strong third place off the
start and soon began to challenge teammate John
Natalie for second, but unfortunately for Wienen,
he would take an inside line that had a nasty
kicker that would send him into Natalie. The resulting
crash would take Wienen out for the rest of the
moto.
Wienen was looking good in moto two, despite
his earlier wreck and charged off the line quickly.
Wienen would hang on to finish fourth in moto
two right behind teammate, Natalie.
