AMA ATV Motocross Nationals Round #8 - Red Bud Buchanan, Michigan July 26, 2014

“This is amazing. I cant’ believe it coming where I came from in 2011, battling hard and jut never giving up on dreaming,” said Wienen. “I’m just blessed and my Yamaha is the heartbeat of getting me here. I’m just so pumped right now. I’m at a loss for words.”

In addition to claiming his third consecutive AMA Pro ATV crown, Wienen also earned his third straight victory at RedBud. Wienen is the fifth rider in ATVMX history to win three championships and is just the second to ever do so consecutively, joining the sport’s most iconic figure Gary Denton, who won eight titles in a row, with that coveted distinction.

With just one round remaining and the title decided, the focus shifts to thrilling battle for second in the ATVMX standings between Hetrick, Brown and Natalie. Currently, Hetrick controls second with an 11-point advantage over Brown in third. Natalie lurks in fourth, and following his extremely consistent afternoon at RedBud has closed to within 16 points of Hetrick and five points of Brown.

The Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship will take a week off before bringing the 2014 season to a close with the ninth and final round from Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, on August 9-10.
