Back on the Podium for Wienen in 2025
Chad Wienen Makes Strong Return to Racing at 2025 AMA ATV Pro SX Event
Daytona Beach, FL – March 5, 2025 – Chad Wienen made a triumphant return to racing at the 2025 AMA ATV Pro SX event at Daytona International Speedway on Tuesday, March 5. After a season-ending injury at the same track during the opening race of the 2024 season, Wienen’s return was highly anticipated by fans and the racing community alike.
Wienen, known for his resilience and skill, wasted no time proving that he’s back at the top of his game. He was in strong form during the qualifying practices, finishing within the top 5. This set the stage for an impressive performance in his heat race, where he came out of the holeshot in 4th place. By the end of the heat, Wienen had made his move, passing a fellow rider to secure 3rd place.
In the main event, Wienen once again proved his mettle. He launched off the starting line and emerged from the holeshot in 3rd place. Throughout the race, Wienen faced consistent pressure from riders behind him. However, midway through the event, the seasoned racer found his rhythm and began to distance himself from the competition, ultimately crossing the finish line in 3rd place, maintaining a comfortable position by the time the checkered flag waved.
“This feels incredible,” said Wienen after the race. “It’s been a long journey back, but I’m so thankful to be back on the track. The team and I have worked so hard to get to this point, and it’s amazing to see that hard work pay off. Daytona is always a special place for me, and it feels great to finish on the podium today.”
Wienen’s podium finish serves as a promising sign for the remainder of the 2025 season. His performance is a testament to his determination and the support of his team, as well as a reminder of his status as one of the top competitors in the sport.
Fans are excited to see Wienen continue his comeback as the AMA ATV Pro MX series heads to its next stop at Decker Training Facility in Fountain, FL on Friday March 7. With his sights set on further success, Wienen’s return to racing is sure to inspire and captivate fans throughout the season.
