Seneca, PA (07/14/2015) – Hetrick Racing/ Corrosion Specialties’ Joel Hetrick swept both motos to win the Pro ATV Class during Round 8 of the AMA Mountain Dew ATV National Championship over the weekend at Unadilla Motorsports. The Seneca, PA native dominated both motos to secure his third overall win of the season and is just 15 points out of the championship lead heading into the final two rounds of the season.

Hetrick was a dominant force off the start all weekend. In the first moto, he came out just behind the leader at the start, but quickly moved to the front in lap one and cruised to victory.

The Elka shocks were really dialed in perfect by Jay Gobel at Impact Solutions, too. The bike was just perfect all weekend.”

Hetrick grabbed another holeshot at the start of Moto 2 and, in the process, clinched the SSI Decals Holeshot Championship. He led every lap to win the moto earning his ninth moto victory of the season.

“I’ve never gotten this many holeshots,” said Hetrick. “We were hot at the start. I got a little fatigued at the end, but ended up with the win. Having that many moto wins and winning all these specialty awards this year has been really cool.  Now I just want to finish out the year strong and go for the championship.”

Round 9 of the Mt. Dew AMA ATV MX National Championship heads to RedBud MX in Buchanan, MI July 25-26 where Hetrick will be going for another two moto sweep in his quest for the Pro Championship
