In Motocross moto one, Wey got a decent start rounding the first turn in 7th.
KTM
US Motocross Series 7th round
Mechanicsville, MD
His teammate, Billy Laninovich, in only his third week back, almost grabbed the holeshot, but settled for 2nd. Wey continued to battle up front in the scorching hot weather and rough track until the moto end where he finished 8th. Laninovich had an early moto crash, charging his way from 37th to 21st.
Motocross moto two, showed Wey with a much better start this time in 4th position. He made a mistake after the start which dropped him back to 6th where he stayed for the next few laps. He was passed by Jeff Alessi on lap seven, which caused Wey to pick up the pace for what would become the best battle of the second Motocross moto. After the pass, Wey closed back in on Alessi while a second behind them Jimmy Albertson was quickly approaching. The three riders battled for five laps until Wey finally shot himself in front of Alessi like a bullet from a gun to make the pass stick. Wey jumped ahead with Alessi and Albertson in tow. Wey finished the moto in 7th. His 8-7 results were good enough for 7th overall. Laninovich came from a very poor start in the bottom twenties to finish 18th.
