At the previous round of racing in Pennsylvania, Phoenix Racing Yamaha/CST Tires/Elka Suspension’s Joel Hetrick would come out victorious as he went 1-1 on the day to earn the overall win. Hetrick is aiming to do the same this weekend on Saturday afternoon. Hetrick continues to hold the points lead as the season continues onto the fifth round of racing. 

Wienen Motorsports/Maxxis/SSi Decals/Fly Racing/Yamaha’s Chad Wienen is looking to put a stop to Hetrick’s winning ways after he went 3-2 at the last race. Wienen, who was injured at round two in Florida, is still recovering a bit form his injury and surgery that he had before round three. However, Wienen is not letting that stop him from battling for that number one spot at what would be considered his home race being close to Illinois.

After going 2-3 at the previous race, Rastrelli Racing/FXR Moto/Rocket Machine Designs’ Jeffrey Rastrelli is looking to battle for another podium position at the fifth round of racing in Indiana. Rastrelli has had a good start to the season as he finished second overall at round two, and third overall at the previous round. 

Another racer looking to land on the center of the box this weekend is Ford Brothers Racing/FXR/SSi Decals/CST Tire’s Bryce Ford. After earning the win at round two in Florida, Ford knows he has what it takes to run at the front of the pack. Ford will aim to battle and be one of the front-runners throughout the day on Saturday. 

Rastrelli is hopeful he can earn another overall podium finish this weekend.

This weekend Gennusa is hopeful he can get a good start and battle at the front of the pack for what could be his first overall podium finish of the season.
