Joel Hetrick Dominates Loretta
Lynn's Pro ATV MX
::Continued::
Meanwhile, Wienen was busy working his way through
the pack from a dead last start. With only two
laps remaining Wienen was in a podium position
but wanting more. As the white flag waved Wienen
would make the last minute pass on Haagsma for
second, but Hetrick claimed the win with a commanding
lead of 22 seconds.
|
By winning
both Motos, Joel Hetrick finally closed
the points gap down to 16 points on Chad
Wienen heading into the twelth and final
round at Soaring Eagle
|
When Moto 2 was underway Wienen bolted out of
the gate eager for redemption, but it would be
Haagsma claiming the SSi Decals Holeshot Award.
By the time they checked into the finish line
for the completion of the first lap, Wienen had
secured the lead with Haagsma and Hetrick following
in second and third.

Sparks Racing's
David Haagsma grabbed the Moto 2 Holeshot
|
Hetrick sat in the top spot once the moto reached
it halfway point. Once the Pennsylvania native
had a clear track he slowly began pulling away
from the rest of the field. Wienen was running
a consistent race in second, while the battle
for third started brewing behind him between Rastrelli
and Haagsma. Although Rastrelli was able to make
the pass for third Haagsma kept him honest the
entire moto even constantly showing a front wheel
in a turn.

ELKA's David
Haagsma dropped back to a 4th place finish,
but it was enough to claim the final podium
position with third overall
|
"I feel great that I got to run up in the
front for a while in both motos," said Haagsma.
"I had a good battle with Rastrelli in the
second moto and I tried to pass him back, but
I was just a little too tired. I knew I had the
overall for third if I just finished fourth so
I just played it safe to get third overall."
By the conclusion of the second 20-minute moto
it would be Hetrick reigning victorious once again
and standing on the top of the box (1-1), with
Wienen (2-2) and Haagsma (3-4) rounding out the
overall podium. Rastrelli would recover from a
dead last start in the first moto for fourth overall
(7-3) and AGX Designs/Walsh Racecraft/Maxxis'
Nick Gennusa landed a spot in the top five with
a pair of fifth place finishes.

Jeffrey
Rastrelli came back to claim a third place
finish in Moto 2, which boosted him to
fourth overall ahead of Nick Gennusa
|
"My bike worked great all day today,"
said Hetrick. "Today really showcased all
the hard work with two 20-minute motos in brutal
heat and rough track conditions. Everything hooked
up awesome for a perfect weekend where I was able
to gain some points and I'm ready for the Edge
of Summer MX.
The ProX ATVMX series takes a month off before
the Edge of Summer MX season finale at the Soaring
Eagle Casino and Resort. The inaugural event is
set for Friday, September 9, in Mountain Pleasant,
Michigan.
