2012 AMA Pro ATV MX Champion Chad Wienen went 3-2 giving him the overall & the first win of the 2013 Mtn. Dew AMA Pro ATV Motocross Championship Series |
Defending champion Chad Wienen rode smart and collected to grab the first victory of 2013, due in part to his knowledge gained from earning the number one plate in 2012. Wienen scored a 3-2 finish to secure the overall win aboard his Wienen Motorsports / SSi / Walsh / Yamaha presented by Maxxis Tires & Team Vollmer machine. Wienen was able to secure top five starts, allowing him to move into a favorable position to take the overall win. "I'm happy with the outcome. Anything is possible with a mud race but I'm really excited to be leaving still carrying the red number plate," said Wienen.
