Red Bud Race Report...Honda

Courtesy of  Honda
Torrance, CA: The Honda Red Riders took on round six of the 2010 AMA Motocross Championship and Women’s Motocross Championship at RedBud in Buchanan, MI on Saturday, July 3, and Honda Red Bull Racing’s Andrew Short made a solid run up front aboard his CRF450R while teammate Ashley Fiolek clinched her first overall victory of the season aboard her CRF250R. Another Honda racer to win at RedBud was GIECO Powersports Honda’s Trey Canard, who scored his first-ever 250cc motocross race win and overall victory.

Two-time women’s champion Fiolek had her best showing of the season, going 1-1 in the women’s competition to clinch her first overall victory this season. Grabbing the holeshot in both motos, Fiolek dominated both races to take the overall win. Fellow Honda racer Troy Lee Designs’ Tara Gieger joined Fiolek on the podium going 3-3 to end the round third overall.

Short got a good start in the first 450cc moto and was among the lead group from the get-go. Rounding the opening lap in the number two spot, Short put in a solid performance to eventually take the checkers in third place. In moto two he again fired off to a fine start and went on to finish fifth, placing fourth overall for the round.

In other 450-class action, Troy Lee Designs Honda’s Ben Townley looked on target to record his first race win of the season, leading every lap in the opening moto until he fell in the closing stages on the final lap, which relegated him to fourth. Townley rebounded in moto two to grab third place and close out the round third overall. Brett Metcalfe’s 5-4 finish aboard his GEICO Powersports Honda CRF450R put him fifth overall and privateer Honda racer Kyle Regal finished seventh overall with 7-7 moto finishes.

GEICO Powersports Honda’s Trey Canard went 4-1 in the 250cc competition to successfully score his first-ever overall Lites motocross win on his CRF250R. Getting a lackluster start in moto one where he rounded the opening lap in 10th position, Canard worked his way through the pack, picking off riders one by one to eventually take the checkers in fourth place. Getting a better start in moto two and running among the lead pack, he set a blistering pace before moving into the lead on lap 11 where he remained until the race’s end. Teammates Justin Barcia and Blake Wharton were never far away with Barcia going 5-3 to finish in fourth overall and Wharton going 6-4 to get fifth overall. Eli Tomac finished 10th overall, going 12-9 aboard his GEICO Powersports Honda CRF250R.

Red Bud Race Report...Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki

Courtesy of Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/ Kawasaki 
orona, Calif. – It seems at every event the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team is threatening to sweep the podium and Red Bud was no exception as Dean Wilson and Christophe Pourcel finished second and third overall respectively. Tyla Rattray was also in position for a podium before a crash sent him back to sixth overall. Jake Weimer rode strong before a crash finishing eighth overall.

There was a new name on the top of the qualifying sheets this weekend, but his livery was still the same black and lime-green of Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki. Rattray became the first rider to eclipse Pourcel in qualifying this year, posting the fastest lap less than three-tenths of a second quicker than the Frenchman. Pourcel was second, with Wilson sixth and Weimer eighth.

"I thought I was riding well today," said Rattray. "I had some bad lines early, but I was behind Pourcel and followed him to find some good lines. In the second moto I was making a charge at Dean (Wilson) on the off-camber turn. I didn’t see the bump until the last minute. I tried to wheelie over it, but I couldn’t and I went over the handlebars."

In the first moto, the start looked like an advertisement for Pro Circuit power as Pourcel, Rattray and Weimer pulled the field through the first turn. Wilson didn’t get the jump out of the gate crossing the line at the end of the first lap in seventh. Pourcel and Rattray began to pull away from the field and the teammates would ride in lock-step throughout the 15-lap moto to finish 1-2. Weimer was right there running fourth until the 12th lap when he lost his rear brake and crashed coming down a downhill dropping back to 11th. At the same time, Wilson was charging through the field, and the young rookie made it up to third by the checkered flag.

"I was up front and riding well and then my rear brake was just gone," said Weimer. "I’m not sure what happened, it was probably a rock or something, but the brake didn’t fade it just didn’t work. Coming down the hill, I had nowhere to go and I hit someone and went down."

The start of the second moto was great for Wilson and Rattray as they came out 1-2, but Pourcel and Weimer had a battle on their hands coming out seventh and ninth respectively. Wilson led the first ten laps but an aggressive pass by Trey Canard sent him off track and he fell back to second. Right on his rear fender was his teammate Rattray, who also had a go at him, but a breaking bump sent the Rattray over the bars and dropped him to 11th in the order. Both Pourcel and Weimer tried to make their way through the pack on the tight track and the French rider made it up to fifth, while Weimer ended up seventh.

"I tried to pace myself out there," said Wilson. "I knew it would be a long moto, and the track was rough, so I rode steady and didn’t push too hard. It felt good to lead the second moto early. (Trey) Canard made a pretty aggressive pass to get by me, but it was clean. I went off the track, but I stayed on the throttle and didn’t lose too much ground. It was a good weekend, I finished second and stayed safe."

The team will now enjoy the weekend off before heading to Minnesota for the Spring Creek National at Millville.

Kenda Tire rolls out new Triple for GEICO Endurocross

K781 is the perfect fit for the slick and treacherous obstacles that dot the EnduroCross courses

IRVINE, Calif., (July 6, 2010) – Kenda Tire – the official tire of the GEICO Powersports AMA EnduroCross Series, presented by E3 Spark Plugs – has rolled out a new off-road series tire, the “K781 Triple,” that’s sure to give the riders running it an advantage on the unique traction conditions associated with the sport of EnduroCross.

Developed and tested for AMA Arenacross and Supercross, Kenda’s Triple features a low profile sidewall for improved cornering stability and cornering traction. With dimpled knobbies designed for quick warm up and extra traction, the Triple’s tread pattern is engineered to handle hard packed and slippery surfaces – an added benefit when navigating EnduroCross’ boulder mountains and log crossings.

“The Triple has received high marks thus far in 2010,” said Kenda’s Gus Niewenhous.  “Yamaha’s AmPro team has won four national enduros in a row – five total – three GNCCs and three OMAs in just the first half of the competition season. So we are excited to show off the Triple in Vegas at the EnduroCross opener.”

Red Bud Race Report...KTM Racing

Courtesy of KTM America
Buchanan, MI – The largest crowd of the year turned up at the Red Bud Motocross National to witness an exciting weekend of racing on the anniversary of our country’s Independence.

In addition to Jagermeister/KTM rider Mike Alessi competing in the 450 class, KTM also invited 38 year-old veteran Motocross racer Mike Brown to fill in for the injured Tommy Searle. Brown had not competed in the 250 class since 2005 but was excited and ready for the opportunity. If that wasn’t enough, FMF/KTM rider and reigning GNCC XC2 Champion Kailub Russell decided to make his pro motocross debut in the 450 class at the Red Bud National.

Alessi and Russell were up first in 450 Group A practice. Alessi had solid practice times throughout the day and was able to qualify 8th heading into the main. Russell wasn’t as fortunate. "I struggled to adjust to the track in the first practice session and then I had a huge crash in the second practice session where I hurt my knee," commented Russell. He had to return to the pits to evaluate his injury and missed the remainder of the second practice session, and as a result, did not qualify. "I am disappointed in my performance today but I am more determined to qualify at another national. I am going to try to come back for Unadilla and hopefully will achieve my goal of qualifying for my first pro national."

Brown turned some fast lap times in the 250 practice but also had a few issues. He tweaked his knee in the second practice but still managed to turn lap times inside the top twenty. Not too bad for someone who got the call to race Red Bud three days before the race. "I had so much fun out there on the 250. It is definitely the fastest 250 I have ever ridden in my life," remarked Brown of his ride.

The 450 class was the first moto of the day. Alessi started 5th around the first turn and remained close to the top four as they made their way around the track. Unfortunately, he made a mistake on a step up jump at the back of the track part way into the first lap and fell dropping to 30th position. The remainder of the race he set out to make up as many positions as he could. He eventually passed half the field to move up to 10th place at the moto end. It was an impressive ride for such and unfortunate start.

In the second 450 moto Alessi again garnered a top ten start but made a few mistakes that dropped him back to 7th after the first few laps. He continued to push but lost two more positions before the moto end to finish 9th in the second moto. His 10-9 moto scores earned him 9th overall for the day.

In the 250 class Brown got out to a 10th place start in both motos. In the first moto, he started 10th and was holding his position when he made a costly mistake which caused him to stall the bike in a corner and dropped him to 24th. He spent the remainder of the moto picking off riders to eventually finish 19th. In the second moto he took his 10th place start and managed to use it to his advantage. After a few good battles with both Darryn Durham and Vince Friese, Brown was able to finish 12th in the second moto. His 19-12 scores earned him 17th overall in his first 250 motocross race in five years.

"I had so much fun today. I really enjoyed being here and revisiting with the fans. I love to come back here and race every once in a while in between the WORCS and EnduroCross races that I am currently contesting." Finishing right behind Brown were KTM privateer riders Killy Rusk and Phil Nicoletti. In addition, there were three more KTM privateer riders qualifying for the Red Bud main event: Tevin Tapia, Willy Browning and Greg Durivage - for a total of 6 KTM’s in the 250 main event.

Red Bud Race Report...Rockstar/Makita Suzuki

Courtesy of Suzuki Racing
-Ryan Dungey went 1-1 and claimed his fifth victory in a row aboard his Suzuki fuel-injected RM-Z450 on Saturday at the legendary Red Bud MX track.
-Dungey is now 64 points ahead in the series with six races left on the schedule.
-The RM-Z450 pulled Dungey to the holeshot in moto 2 and gave him the power to gain an 11-second lead by the end of the race.

Brea, Calif. – Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey kept the moment rolling at the sixth round of the AMA Pro Motocross series at the notoriously tough Red Bud MX track in Buchanan, Michigan, on Saturday. Dungey and his Suzuki fuel-injected RM-Z450 fought hard in the first moto to take the win, and the second moto they went from holeshot to finish line in true championship fashion.

In moto 1, Dungey took the win after a three-racer battle that was easily one of the most thrilling races in recent history. Dungey came off the gate and was in third as he settled in to study the racers ahead of him. As he took note of the fastest lines on the track, Dungey prepared to make his move. With 10 minutes left in the moto, Dungey used the renowned power of the RM-Z450 to make a pass into second place. He diced with the leader until the last lap of the race when his dedication to physical training and his mental agility let Dungey capitalize on a mistake made by the leader. With the championship-winning power of the RM-Z, Dungey crossed the finish line first.

As the racers lined up for moto 2, Dungey was ready to take on the competition again. His RM-Z450 shot him off the starting line and took him to the holeshot. While Dungey had some competition in the first lap, he started to pull away from the pack soon after. By the end of the race, Dungey had put an 11-second gap between himself and the rest of the field.

Dungey’s 1-1 victory gave him his fifth overall win in a row, and he now controls the championship chase by 64 points.

Dungey’s teammate Matt Moss put together his most consistent and solid performance to date at Red Bud. The Australian rookie finished 15th in both motos, earning 14th overall, which is his best finish so far in 2010.

Round 7 of the AMA Pro Motocross Series takes place after a break in the schedule. The racing continues on July 17th at Spring Creek in Millville, Minnesota, which is considered Dungey’s home track. Look for the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team to put together another awesome race performance there.

Riders Challenge and Conquer the Infamous Widowmaker at Round 2 of the Rockwell Time Pro Hill Climb Series!


SALT LAKE CITY, UT (July 1, 2010) Riders came from all over the United States to take on the formidable Widowmaker climb this past weekend for Round 2 of the Rockwell Time Professional Hill Climb Series in Croydon, Utah. Matt Coleman, hailing from Laurel, Montana and riding a heavily modified FJ-1200, came out on top and claimed the title of the 2010 Widowmaker Champion. Petey Krunich, riding a Bandit 1200, would finish 2nd overall and Corey Erhardt, on board a KX-1000, rounded out the podium in the 3rd position. Rockwell Time Team rider Brandon Whitlock from Santaquin, Utah was one of only three riders to top the 1,000 plus vertical feet Champion Hill in the 701-Open Exhibition Class on his KZ-1500. Unfortunately a mistake in the 0-700 Exhibition would regulate Whitlock from challenging for the overall. The crowd witnessed some amazing climbs, some horrific crashes, and a stunning aerial performance from the Rockwell Air Time Skydive Team.

“It has been a pleasure for Rockwell to be apart of such a great series and the work put in from Jordy Smith and Darrell Devitt is second to none. We appreciate everything that these two individuals have done to not only grow this series but the sport as well,” exclaimed Rich Eggett of Rockwell Time.

The action is sure to heat up as the series heads into its final round at the Great American Championship Motorcycle Hill Climb in Billings, Montana on July 30 through August 1. For more information and to purchase your tickets, visit: The Great American
