FARMINGDALE, N.J. (April 8, 2013) -This weekend in Houston, Texas, the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross series returned to action following its one-week break. Bel-Ray racers Blake Wharton, Davi Millsaps, Josh Hill and Broc Tickle all scored top 10 results in their respective classes.


The top-performing racer for the weekend was Texas native Blake Wharton. After a third-place finish in his heat race, Wharton came out swinging for the main event. Racing with aggressiveness in front of his home state fans, Wharton passed early leader Marvin Musquin on the second lap and never looked back, taking his first victory of the season. The win was an emotional one as three generations of Whartons were on hand to see the win. “It’s nice to come back to Texas and see my family,” said Wharton. “This was the first race my grandpa has ever been to in his life. He had never been to one while my dad was racing, during my amateur career or since I have been racing professionally. It was cool to have three generations here. It was great to get the win in my home state, in front of my family and friends”

Wharton’s Bel-Ray-backed Rockstar Racing teammate Davi Millsaps continued his excellent 2013 racing season. His fifth-place finish in the main event was the 11thtime he was inside the top 5 at the checkered flag this season. With the result, he maintains second place in the series points standings.
Joining Millsaps inside the top 10 in the 450 Class were both Bel-Ray-supported RCH/Suzuki racers Josh Hill and Broc Tickle. Hill scored his best finish of 2013 with an eighth-place finish, while Tickle scored his sixth top 10 result of the season with a 10thplace finish.
