Chad Wienen fans were out in full force at Wienen's hometown race at Sunset Ridge MX |
"I always look forward to the Sunset
Ridge MX race, I have a ton of family and
friends that come down to support 3me and
it makes the weekend that much better! I
knew getting a good gate pick for Moto 1
was important because we couldn't tell what
the weather was going to do, but I'm pumped
on another overall and extending my points
lead!" said Wienen.
