Tune-In Alert: ATV Supercross at Daytona International Speedway on MAVTV Saturday, May 19 at 9:30 AM ET
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (May 18, 2018) – Tune in to MAVTV this Saturday, May 19 at 9:30 a.m. ET for the ATV Motocross National Championship (ATVMX) presented by CST Tires to watch round one – the ATV Supercross at Daytona International Speedway highlight show from Daytona Beach, Florida.
One rider hungry to earn the first win of 2018 was Chad Wienen. Wienen had set out to show the skills that he worked on during the off-season. He has prepared himself for the 2018 season, and the battles that ensue with Joel Hetrick. These battles would happen right from the first gate drop of the new season. It did not take long for everyone to see Wienen’s training had paid off as the multi-time champion decimated the technical Daytona track earning him the ATVriders.com Fastest Qualifier award.
Joel Hetrick came blasting off the gate in the main with Wienen in pursuit, as the first turn chaos was just what Wienen needed. The tight turn allowed just enough shuffling for a quick burst of speed that sent him out front to make the racing bar-to-bar. With the series top two contenders now giving the crowd an epic show, it was anyone’s guess how this would unfold with a rough track in front of them. When the riders emerged from a section that allowed a limited view, it was Chad Wienen with the lead and a familiar battle was once again underway.
The season kick off at such a historic location always brings an added element to the races and with a track that no one gets to ride before race day adds a level of uncertainty every year. Round two will feature another new stop on the series schedule where we should get a chance to really see our stars shine.
