In the first moto, Weimer got the holeshot on his Honda CRF250R, but then immediately began to make mistakes, going off the track three times in the first lap and a half. Falling back as far as fifth in the moto, he methodically worked his way back up through the pack to grab second with only three laps to go, where he finished the moto. It was his best career moto finish in AMA National competition."I've always liked this track," Weimer said. "This is only the second time I've been here, but I did all right here last year. I was pretty excited to come here. I got good starts last year, and I don't know, I just feel comfortable here for some reason.
In moto two, Weimer again started near the front, but lost a couple of spots in the opening laps 
before going back to work. He ran fourth for much of the race, with Brett Metcalfe right on his tail. Metcalfe took the spot away in the late going, dropping Weimer to fifth. However, the 2-5 score was good enough for second overall.

However, the 2-5 score was good enough for second overall.One of the biggest things for me is just mentally getting stronger and believing in myself," Weimer said. "I think that I'm a lot better, probably, than I really think I am, so I underestimate myself a lot. It's just mentally getting into that spot where I feel like I need to be up front and that's where I should be."
With his second-place finish, Weimer moved up to fifth in the points standings and is within striking distance of most of the riders in front of him with eight rounds still left to run.
Teammate Dan Reardon was running near the front in the first moto off of the start, but he also had a bit of an off-track excursion, getting stuck in the mud that was pushed off to the side of the 
track from Saturday's rain. Reardon caught up to 11th in the moto.
track from Saturday's rain. Reardon caught up to 11th in the moto. In the second moto he didn't get a good start, due partially to technical difficulties, as the starting device that hooks his forks down for the start (preventing wheelies) broke on the line. Still, he fought his way up to a strong eighth for ninth overall.
"The second moto, we broke the start button [on the forks] in the start line, so I had no start button to start off with and my start wasn't that good," Reardon said. "I was like 15th or 16th, but I felt that the first 15 or 20 minutes of the moto were really good. I worked my way up to seventh, and I was catching the rest of the field."
Reardon now sits a strong seventh in points with 16 motos left to run.
Trey Canard sat out Mt. Morris as a precautionary measure due to the slight concussion he suffered in Texas, and Josh Grant has been out for the entire outdoor season so far from a heavier concussion suffered in practice at the Las Vegas Supercross. However, both of them are scheduled to return to action for the first-ever night National at Lakewood, Colorado, on June 28th, which means the GEICO Powersports/AMSOIL/Honda team will be out in full force after the series takes a weekend off and then heads to Colorado for round five of the AMA Motocross Nationals just outside Denver. AMSOIL is the Official Oil of AMA Outdoor Nationals.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
