FARMINGDALE, NJ – September 6 , 2011 – Bel-Ray Company, Inc.  – Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Wrap Up

The Tech3 Racing team of Bradley Smith and Mike DiMeglio competed this past week in Misano, Italy. After qualifying in 6^th position, Smith gained an early advantage by timing the start excellently. He stayed right on the lead pack eventually settling for 6^th position when the checkered flag fell. Smith’s rookie Moto2 season has been one of ups and downs, but he is finishing strong. Smith is currently in 5th place in the series standings, just 10 points out of a podium spot. Teammate DiMeglio has been struggling all season long, but is finding bright spots along the way. This weekend DiMeglio was 16^th place in this very competitive class. The team will enjoy a weekend off before returning to action in Spain on September 18^th.

After a 2 week break the World Motocross Championship Series returned to action in Gaildorf Germany. Bel-Ray backed TM Factory Racer Tanel Leok was still recovering from a big crash at the previous round in Great Britian. Leok finished 9^th in the 1st moto and 28^th in the 2^nd moto for 16^th overall for the day. He is still 11^th in the points standings, just 9 points out of the top 10. The final round of the series will take place this weekend in Italy.

TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray Racing's Chad Reed rebounded from his Southwick disappointment of last week by finishing 4^th overall this past weekend at the Steel City National in Delmont, PA.
