Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Racing Wrap-Up – February 6, 2012
Angels Stadium in
Anaheim, California again played host to the Monster Energy Supercross
Series on Saturday night. Southern California fans had the opportunity
to witness exceptional racing for the second time
this season.
TwoTwo
Motorsports/Bel-Ray Racing's Chad Reed has been a favorite for each main
event. Reed had an excellent choice of starting gate position after he
finished second in his heat race. When the gate dropped
he was in second place on the first lap. Reed slipped back into third
place just before the half way point, a position he would hold until the
end of the event. His third place finish moves him back into second
place for the series, just three points out of
the lead.
Dodge/Hart
& Huntington/Sycuan Casino/Bel-Ray Racing's Josh Hansen and Kyle
Partridge both qualified well in their heat races, with Hansen taking a
fourth place finish and Partridge
taking sixth. Hansen experienced technical issues in the main event
and was forced out of the race. Teammate, Partridge, started near the
middle of the pack, and rode a consistent race to finish in sixteenth
place. Both riders are in the Top 20 in points, with Hansen in twelfth and Partridge in eighteenth place.
This
season has had its share of ups and downs for Team Rockstar Energy
Racing Suzuki. Both Martin Davalos and Jason Anderson qualified directly
for the main event from their heat races,
with Davalos scoring third place in heat race #1 and Anderson scoring
ninth place in heat race #2. The main event began with both riders just
outside the Top 10 on the first lap. Anderson went down in a high speed
corner, and Davalos went down just behind
him. Davalos was quick to recover and finished in tenth place. Slower
to make a recovery, Anderson finished in twentieth place. Anderson
sits tenth in the series' points standings, while Davalos is currently
sixteenth place.
The series continues at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California this Saturday night.
