Torrance, CA: The Honda Red Riders took on round four of the 2010 AMA Motocross Championship at Budds Creek in Mechanicsville, MD, on Saturday, June 19, and Honda Red Bull Racing's Andrew Short led the charge with his first moto win of the season on his CRF450R.

Short rode a faultless opening moto to clinch his first win in 2010, nabbing the holeshot and leading every lap of the race. Fast out of the start gate, Short extended a comfortable lead out front en route to victory. In moto two, Short jumped to an early lead but a few errors during the race saw him fall back and finish in fifth. Short's solid 1-5 results put him 2nd overall-equaling his best overall result this season. His Honda Red Bull teammate Davi Millsaps got a mid-pack start in moto one and was holding down eighth spot when he crashed hard, requiring trackside medical attention and a trip to the hospital. Examination ascertained that Millsaps suffered multiple injuries so he was kept at the hospital for observation. It is anticipated that he will be released shortly to return home, where he will be under the care of his regular physician.

"It's awesome to win again," said Short. "The last time I won a moto was at the Colorado motocross race in 2007 so this has been a long time coming. I owe the Honda Red Bull Racing team and our sponsors a huge shout out for all the support they've given me over the years. Everyone on the team puts in a huge effort each and every week and I'm just really happy I could repay them with a win. I got great starts in both motos, which I'm pumped about. In moto two I just didn't ride as smooth as I did in the first moto but I'm happy to get second overall for the round. I can't wait to be on home soil next week and race in front of my Colorado home crowd. I'm feeling really motivated so it should be a lot of fun."

In more 450-class action, GEICO Powersports Honda's Brett Metcalfe ran among the top contenders in both motos before going 6-6 and finishing the round sixth overall. Troy Lee Designs Honda's Ben Townley went 14-3 to finish eighth overall.

In the 250 class, Justin Barcia showed he had the skills and speed to battle up front aboard his GEICO Powersports Honda CRF250R, going 3-2 and finishing the round second overall. Troy Lee Designs Honda'sWil Hahn rode a solid first moto and was fastest out of the start gate in moto two to go 5-4 for fifth overall. GEICO Powersports Honda's Trey Canard went 7-8 for seventh overall and teammate BlakeWharton finished in ninth (11-9). Eli Tomac got the moto one holeshot aboard his GEICO Powersports Honda CRF250R but managed only a mid-pack start in the second moto and finished 10th overall (10-13).

Budd's Creek Race Report...Dragon Race Fuels

Courtesy of Dragon Race Fuels
Mechanicsville, MD – Budds Creek proved to be disappointing for the Team Dragon Racing Fuels #175 Phil Nicoletti. With solid qualifying times Phil and the Team were excited about the day ahead.

As the gate dropped in the first moto, Nicoletti came off the start in 16th place. Working his way through the 13th spot, Phil battled with Tommy Searle for the 12th position. With confidence building as Nicoletti pushed towards the top ten riders, fate reared up and bit hard. Nicoletti‘s bike experienced a rare clutch problem that forced him out of the moto early. Between moto’s, the team worked hard to get the problem resolved and had his bike ready for the second moto.

In the second moto, Nicoletti lined up in the first gate on the inside and visually drew his line towards the first turn. When the gate dropped, he grabbed a handful of throttle and headed into the corner banging bars with Justin Barcia and Christophe Pourcel for the holeshot. Coming into the turn, Nicoletti was pinched tightly and picked up a piece of the tough block cover in his rear wheel. Unaware of the problem he came out in 12th position. Phil worked his way up and battled with Martin Davalos for the 9th position. Blake Wharton jumped into the battle and it was a three way race for the position at that point. Wharton passed Nicoletti and the chase was on. With Trey Canard now chasing the group, Nicoletti was pushing and riding hard. As Phil was screaming hard down Henry Hill, his rear break became clogged with the piece of a tough block cover he picked up on the first turn and his rear brake failed causing him to go over the bars. Unable to fix the problem on the track he was forced into an early exit from the moto. Nicoletti went (39) (36) giving him a 39th overall.

Geico Honda Race Report...Budd's Creek

Courtesy of Geico Racing
MECHANICSVILLE, Md. - Rising motocross star Justin Barcia recorded a pair of podium finishes Saturday at the AMA Budds Creek Nationals to lead the five-man GEICO Powersports Honda team. Barcia took home a third and a second place trophy in the day's two 250cc motos and pocketed the second most points of the event.

"I wish I was first, but in this heat to come out of here second overall, I'll take it," Barcia said, referring to the hot and muggy conditions that sidelined several riders. "It was hot and gnarly and I'm just drained right now. I have zero energy left. I put it all out there.

"I've been working really hard on my stamina back home in Georgia and I'm staying in the best shape possible. That's my job. I've won a race and I want to win more. I just have a few more things I want to make better and it'll happen."

All five GEICO Powersports riders finished the day in the top 10. Brett Metcalfe was sixth overall in the 450cc class, while 250cc pros Trey Canard (seventh), Blake Wharton (ninth), and Eli Tomac (10th) all did their best to represent the team.

Atop the team's sole 450cc entry, Metcalfe had a pair of sixth-place finishes. The Australian stayed with the top riders in both motos and had chances to lead at various points but, like many riders, was eventually worn down by the heat. Nevertheless, his effort resulted in him holding onto the No. 3 position in the championship points.

"I kind of died in the heat again," Metcalfe said. "I just didn't have the juice to hang on towards the end. Your vision gets a bit blurry and your energy goes way down. You reach a point where you're just hanging on.

"I was pleased to have two good starts and overall I rode okay, I just never got comfortable on the bike. To have two decent finishes and stay third in the points on a day when I was a bit off is pretty good."

Canard logged seventh and eight place results on his machine, a good result considering a dubious start to the action.

"We blew a head gasket just before the first moto and the guys were thrashing to fix it," Canard said. "I missed my gate pick and ended up getting the last position, which threw my start off. I rode hard, I rode strong, but it was kind of like we were behind all day.

"The heat wasn't as bad for me. I think I'm getting more and more used to it and my body is getting stronger. Going 7-8 isn't what we wanted so we'll have to come back next weekend and do better."

Continuing his trend of showing flashes of brilliance, Wharton was as high as second place in Moto 2 but an unfortunate spill cost him valuable positions and he ended up ninth. Coupled with an earlier 11th-place result, he finished up as the day's ninth-best rider.

"The first moto didn't go so good, a had a bad start and went off the track twice, so I really wanted make it up in the second," Wharton said. "I got a good start and was third but I cased a jump and it was muddy right there and I went down. I'm not even sure how. I'm not riding as good as I can right now and I need to fix it."

Rookie sensation Tomac continues to figure out life at the top of the motocross world. He started with an 11th-place finish in Moto 1 and improved to ninth place in Moto 2.

"The guys at this level are the best in the world and Eli is figuring things out," team manager Mike LaRocco said. "The speed we saw from him when he won Hangtown, that was real. But it takes more than speed to win consistently at this level. You have to learn the strategy of dealing with the heat, of riding against other guys that are really good every weekend; these things take time. He's going to be fine. He's got the talent to be a world champion for many years."

The Lucas Oil Motocross Championship Series now shifts to Denver for next Saturday's event. Was this post helpful? Add yours to our service or subscribe to our feed above.

Rockwell Time Race Report: Freestone

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (June 8, 2010) The top Rockwell Time Team rider this past weekend at Freestone was the #20 of Broc Tickle. Broc fought the intense Texas heat and ended the day 4th overall in the Lites class with 8-2 moto scores. Fellow Rockwell riders Jake Weimer and Justin Barcia also cracked the top ten in the super competitive Lites class. Weimer followed up his impressive 5th place finish in the first moto with a 12th in the second moto, giving him 8th for the day. Barcia grabbed 10th overall with 10-8 moto scores. Going into Mt. Morris, Tickle, Weimer, and Barcia sit 5th, 7th, and 8th in series points, respectively. Jumping up to the 450 class, Rockwell rider Mike Alessi came back from a disappointing 12th in the first moto to leading the second moto. Unfortunately Mike would be regulated back to the 5th position by motos end and would walk away from Freestone with a 7th overall. Rockwell rider Davi Millsaps would also have a weekend he would rather forget as his 10-19 moto scores gave him 16th for the day. Watch for Millsaps and Alessi to bounce back at Mt. Morris and regain their positions at the front of the pack.
