After earning the first win of the season inside Daytona International Speedway, Phoenix Racing Yamaha’s Joel Hetrick is looking to keep his momentum rolling into this weekend’s ATVMX National. Hetrick is hoping to start a win streak and earn valuable points towards another National Championship. 

Wienen Motorsports/Maxxis/SSi Decals/Fly Racing/Yamaha’s Chad Wienen came through second, but he is hoping to battle at the front for both motos this weekend and come out in the center of the box with a first overall. Wienen is looking to take over the points lead and work his way towards regaining that number one plate. 

Also looking to earn an overall win this weekend will be Ford Brothers Racing/Fly Racing/SSi Decals/Maxxis’ Bryce Ford. After rounding out the podium at the season opener in Daytona Beach, Florida, Ford is aiming to battle his way into that number one spot at the second round on Saturday.

Both Rastrelli Racing/FXR Moto/Rocket Machine Design’s Jeffrey Rastrelli and GennUSA Racing/SSi Decals/CST Tires/Corrosion Specialties’ Nick Gennusa had good races at round one as they rounded out the top five finishers. This weekend both will once again be setting their sights on that top spot at Gatorback. Rastrelli and Gennusa have shown an immense amount of speed throughout their years of racing, and once again they will be looking to a put a stop to the front-runners.

The Pro Sport class also took part in the racing at Daytona International Speedway where Jayden Londerville took the win over Blair Miller and Brett Musick. This weekend the Pro Sport class will be one to keep an eye on as the top runners in the class look to battle throughout their second round of racing.
