#1 Chad Wienen took the win in Pro Moto 2 also earning the Overall Win |
Brown's teammate, Wienen, came off the
line right behind Brown and took over the
lead before the end of lap one. Wienen then
put his head down and rode his own race
to the checkers and the moto 2 win.
"Really happy to get to that top spot
on the box again today. My YFZ450R was really
working great out on the track and I was
able to maneuver it how I needed. I had
a bad start to moto 1 and knew I really
needed to focus on the gate drop for moto
2 and I was able to come out towards the
front and make the pass for the lead early
on," said Wienen.

FOX athlete Thomas Brown placed fourth in Pro Moto 2 giving him his fourth podium this season. Brown would earn third overall at Wildcat Creek MX |
Brown had a battle unfold behind him as
Byrd grabbed another good start and found
himself at the front of the field. Byrd
started to pressure Brown for the second
place position and within a few laps, Brown
and Byrd made contact and Brown went off
the side of the jump. Brown finally made
his way back onto the track but lost quite
a few positions along the way.

Byrd took over the second place spot and was able to ride uncontested until about
halfway through the moto, when Hetrick battled
his way up to the third place position.
About halfway through the moto, Byrd and
Hetrick were side by side for a few laps
when Hetrick came through the roller section
and crashed. Hetrick broke his clavicle
was unable to finish the moto. Byrd claimed
the second place position and his first
podium finish in second this season.

by the end of lap one. Creamer was able
