Warm weather and a new track kicked off the second round of the AMA Motocross Championship at the 40th annual Hangtown Classic and the MDK KTM Factory Team riders were prepared to take on the challenge.
MDK KTM Factory Team rider Nick Wey was looking forward to the first moto of the Motocross class after finishing 9th overall at the first round at Glen Helen the week prior. When the gate dropped for moto one he was 12th off the start. He continued to hold his pace and battled back and forth with Honda's Andrew Short through the majority of the moto. With a couple laps to go, Wey made the pass on Short and went on to pass Cody Cooper for 10th.
As Wey pulled off the line for moto two he was pinched off and stuck near the back of the pack in the bottom thirty. After the first lap he had moved into 24th. He put his game face on and charged forward to fight through the pack for the remainder of the moto. At the end of the moto, Wey had moved his KTM into 14th. His 10-14 results gave him 12th overall for the weekend.
