Wienen Motorsports/SSi Decals/Walsh Racecraft/Yamaha/Maxxis/7240’s Chad Wienen took the victory at the Unadilla ATVMX National last year and will be looking to repeat his success. With the season drawing near to conclusion, Wienen knows that he needs to put in a flawless performance to remain the series champion.

Although Wienen and Hetrick are the only two riders to emerge victorious this season, one rider who is eager to change that is Root River Racing/CST Tires/Pro Motorsports’ Thomas Brown. After a hard fought podium at the previous round, Brown now has his eyes set on taking home a victory. 

JB Racing/Root River Racing’s Jeffrey Rastrelli is in the same spot as Brown and is eager to stand in the middle of the box this weekend. Rastrelli’s consistency plays a major role in his success and could help the Florida native earn his first win of the season this Saturday 

Root River Racing’s Josh Upperman comes into this race ranked seventh in the National Championship standings. Although he lacks a podium finish this season, Upperman has still managed to find success as he has not placed outside of the top ten. After a disappointing last round, Baldwin Motorsports/Ford Brother's Racing/Root River Racing’s Ronnie Higgerson will be looking for redemption this weekend as he continues his search for a podium finish, too. 

GennUSA Racing-backed Nick Gennusa, local to New Jersey, will make the four-hour trip to Unadilla MX as he looks to make his first overall podium of the year. Gennusa will aim to use his home turf advantage this weekend to vault him to the top.

Walsh Racecraft/Honda’s Parker Wewerka comes into this weekend fresh off one of his best finishes to date and still continues to hold the eighth place position in the current standings. Ford Brother’s Racing/Solo Pilot’s Westley Wolfe and AMPED Vossman Motorsports-backed Sam Rowe round out the top-ten as ATVMX racing heads into the eighth round of the season.
