AMA Outdoor Motocross Series, Round 5 – Lakewood, Colorado

The AMA Lucas Oil Motocross made stop number five this past weekend at Thunder Valley MX in Lakewood, Colorado for another great round of racing. The day started out strong with Andrew Short setting the second fastest qualifying time in the 450 practice. In the 250 class, it was Martin Davalos also setting the second fastest time during practice, giving both Fly riders great gate picks to start the motos.

450 Class Highlights

Fly riders Andrew Short, Weston Peick, Ben Evans, Kyle Regal, Josh Clark, and Terren O’Dell all qualified for Motos via timed practice, with Short setting the second fastest time. In Moto one, it was Honda Red Bull Racing’s Andrew Short with the holeshot and early lead. Short began to pull a slight lead until a lap five crash moved him outside the top ten, forcing him to charge his way back to an 8th place finish. Fellow Fly rider Kyle Regal was close behind, finishing 9th. Rounding out the top twenty for Fly racing was Weston Peick in 20th.

In Moto two it was once again Andrew Short with another holeshot setting him up for another great finish with a 3rd place, which was good enough for fifth overall on the day. Merge Racing/American Honda backed rider Kyle Regal also had a good second Moto finishing 6th, with Team Rock River Powersports rider Weston Peick riding to a 16th place finish.
