Both athletes rode CST Pulse MXR tires to the ATV MX podium. “I am so happy with my performance today and my team as well,” Hetrick said on Instagram. “@phxracingatv had my quad dialed in all day long despite the conditions. Grabbing the fastest qualifier, a heat race win and the main event win felt amazing! The emotions were real today after the main event. I’ve had some bad runs at Daytona, but today, I felt different. All of the training and riding @deckertrainingfacility was such a huge help for this race. Had a great battle most of the race until I was able to make it to the lead and bring home the win! Things don’t always go as planned, but I told myself going into this race I was going to win, and I did just that. Such a crazy start to the 2022 race season, but I am thankful to come out of this race healthy and on top. Time to go back to work for Round 2!!”

 

Rastrelli was also thrilled with his WORCS Daytona results. “Stoked to leave @daytona on the box! The track was very hard to pass on and rough. I struggled a bit halfway through the main event but started to turn it around at the end. We have some things to work on, but I am happy to leave with a podium. Back to work and onto Texas! Thank you so much to everyone that came to support me yesterday! It was amazing to see how many people came to support me from friends to family.. thank you!” he said on Instagram.

Team USA🇺🇸 Wins with Brown in Quadcross of European Nations

CST’s Thomas Brown and Maxxis’ Chad Wienen and Jeff Rastrelli won the gold at the Quadcross of European Nations (QXON), held September 22-23 in Slagelse, Denmark.

The three took their victory despite intense competition from teams fielded by 19 other nations. Brown initially established Team USA’s dominance with a victory in the first race of the opening day, with Rastrelli taking second place in the next race and Wienen winning the third and final race of the day. Day 2 was much the same, with Brown taking second place in one race, Rastrelli taking second in the other two, and Wienen sealing the team’s overall win with victories in two of the day’s races.

 It was the absolute consistency and team riding that won the gold medals for Team USA, which was thoroughly deserved. It was a remarkable team effort and an example to other nations on how to compete as a team,” noted FIM-europe.com, which covered both days of the competition.

Brown is no stranger to the QXON podium, having also helped Team USA win gold in 2017, the first year the country entered the competition. CST congratulates Thomas Brown and the other riders of Team USA on winning the 2018 Quadcross of European Nations.
