AMA ATV Motocross Nationals Round #7 - Spring Creek MX Millville, MN June 4, 2011

Hetrick Racing's #88 Joel Hetrick grabbed the Moto One Holeshot

Rookie pro Joel Hetrick was impressive as he shot off the line, grabbing the moto one holeshot. Hetrick held off John Natalie for several laps before falling back to second where he came under fire from Chad Wienen. Hetrick eventually fell back to third, where he would keep a comfortable pace all the way to the checkered flag.

JB Racing's Joel Hetrick was running in the 4th spot in Moto 2 before he flipped in the whoops section, which sent him to the back of the pack and his shot at another podium finish for the Pro rookie

In moto two, Hetrick again grabbed the holeshot, but Chad Wienen was right there to take over the lead. Hetrick was hanging on in the top three but wrecked in the whoops, which ended things early for him.

Mushin Racing’s Travis Moore was looking good early in the first moto, but ran into mechanical issues at the midway point and was forced to pull off the track. Moore came back strong in moto two and worked his way into the number six spot before reaching the checkered flag.

Houser Racing’s Harold Goodman flipped and encountered mechanical issues during the first moto and had to pull off briefly, but continued on to take eleventh in moto one. In moto two, Goodman held on to round out the top ten.

Derek Swartfager held on for 10-11 finishes, while Jonathon Ven John took a pair of twelfth place finishes. Adam Clark held on for 13th in moto one, but crashed hard at the start of moto two and would finish 14th.

Absent from this round was Steel City winner, Joe Byrd. The American Honda backed rider crashed earlier in the week and was out for this round, but is expected to make a return at round eight.

Racers will get a nice break before heading into round eighth that is scheduled for July 2nd- 3rd in Millfield, OH, where Sunday Creek will be the hosting facility as Chad Wienen and John Natalie battle it out for the pro points lead.
