Chad Wienen, his girlfriend Danica, & his dog Torque in Florida

ATVRiders.com: Have you been racing at all?
Chad Wienen: We’ve been having fun doing some SSQA races and doing some testing and videos. We have seen a lot of support when we have gone to the races and it really means a lot to know that we have so much support from fans and friends. Everyone has really stood behind me and it gives us even more motivation to work hard and do well. We are going to work hard and build an even stronger foundation here at Wienen Motorsports.

ATVRiders.com: What else have you been up to since you’ve been in Florida?
Chad Wienen: I’ve been hanging out with Jeremy Lawson. He comes out and watches me practice and helps out a lot. We go to his place every weekend and watch Supercross. It’s been a lot of fun. Other than that, I’ve just been busy with training and working on the team.

Pro ATV MX Pro Racer, Jeremy Lawson, decided to retire from racing over the winter, but he was more than willing to help us with a photoshoot for Chad Wienen

ATVRiders.com: Speaking of Jeremy, we have heard he is possibly pursuing a different profession; in law enforcement!
Chad Wienen: Yeah, he is thinking about becoming a State Patrol officer. So be careful when you come down to Florida. If he sees a race rig, he might pull you over just to mess with you! Jeremy hasn’t really hung up his boots yet. He has actually been helping me train. He loves to train and that helps me to have a good training partner on that professional level, but we are still having fun with it.

ATVRiders.com: So what are your goals for this year?
Chad Wienen: As always, I want to win the championship, but I still want it to be competitive because that’s what makes it fun. I want to have it come down to the last round at Loretta’s and have that competition going all season long, and take that win and the championship. We are serious about winning, but we really want to have fun as well. If you are too serious, it stops being fun and we really want to keep it enjoyable.

Chad Wienen once again has set his eyes on the AMA ATV Motocross Pro Championship after an unfortunate injury took him out of contention for the championship in 2011

ATVRiders.com: Thanks for taking the time to talk to us, Chad. You sound really happy and it sounds like you have a great program in place. We wish you the best in Georgia in a couple of weeks!
Chad Wienen: Thank You! Like I said, I feel great and I am really looking forward to this year!

We look forward to seeing Chad Wienen aboard his new ride & race program in the 2012 AMA ATV MX Pro Championship Series!
