Nick’s roller coaster career hit a low point during the 2005 Supercross series when, after five straight top-ten finishes, he re-injured his knee and was sidelined with surgery. When he made his return to racing at round 3 of the ’05 Nationals, it was clear that the time off had not affected Nick’s speed. Leaving his injury behind, he added another top ten to his resume by rounding out the season in ninth.
Wey signed with MDK for 2006 and landed fifth place overall in Supercross, including three podiums and the Top Privateer Award, and then bested many factory riders for yet another top-ten finish outdoors. He lined up confidently for the 2007 AMA Supercross Series aboard his MDK-backed Honda. He came out swinging and earned five-straight top tens including a podium and three top-five finishes. Unfortunately, his momentum was hindered at round six with an injury that left him out of the SX running. Wey seemed to still be struggling during the outdoors as he only competed in the first four nationals, with his best moto finish at Mt. Morris in eleventh. Despite a disappointing summer, Wey and the MDK crew had high hopes for the ’08 Supercross season.
Aboard his brand-new KTM, he rebounded to end up with yet another top ten under his belt. In 2008, Wey earned himself a 6th place finish overall in series points in the Lucas Oil Motocross 450 Class Championship. Most recently in 2011, Nick finished 11th overall in series points.
