MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — The 2019 ATV Motocross National Championship Series heads to RedBud MX in Buchanan this weekend for the eighth round of AMA Pro Racing and seventh round of amateur ATVMX racing.

After going 1-1 at the previous round in New York, Phoenix Racing Honda/Maxxis/Elka Suspension’s Joel Hetrick is looking forward to the weekend in Michigan.

Hetrick currently sits 22 points behind the points leader, but he will be looking to close the gap this weekend and keep his momentum going with another overall win.

Wienen Motorsports/Yamaha/Maxxis’ Chad Wienen, who currently holds the points lead, is looking ahead to earn his third overall win of the season this Saturday. Wienen has had a consistent year thus far in the season, never finishing off the overall podium, and he is aiming to keep that success going as the series heads into the final three AMA Pro Racing rounds.

Looking to return to the overall podium this weekend is Jeff Rastrelli Land Grading/Baldwin’s Jeffrey Rastrelli. Currently Rastrelli sits fourth in the points standings, but will be planning to improve his standings this weekend. After finishing just off the podium at the past two rounds, Rastrelli is looking to battle up front and return to the top three.
