Bel-Ray Racer Jason Anderson Scores Top 10 Overall at Thunder Valley
Rockstar Racing Teammates all finish in Top 20
FARMINGDALE, N.J. (May 28, 2013) ― The Rockwell
Watches Thunder Valley National came to Lakewood, Colorado, for the
second round of the AMA National Motocross Series. The mile-high
location’s thin air and demanding conditions tested both
man and machine, but the Bel-Ray racers attending were up for the
challenge.
Bel-Ray’s efforts in the 450 class were led by
Rockstar Energy Racing’s Ryan Sipes. Sipes was hoping to back up his
top-ten overall finish in round one, but bad starts and a scary crash in
the first moto didn’t allow for the results he
expected. A first moto 19th was backed up by a second moto 13th, for
16th place overall. Sipes is looking forward to the upcoming weekend and
Muddy Creek in Tennessee. Sipes, a Kentucky native, spent many years
racing at Muddy Creek and hopes to put this experience
to good use against the best the series has to offer. “I’m looking
forward to next weekend,” said Sipes. “It’s probably as much of a home
race as you can get. I grew up racing the mega series down at Muddy
Creek since I was on 50s. I know the track is ‘gonna
be completely different, but it should be fun.”
Joining Sipes in the 450MX class were Bel-Ray
privateers Derek Anderson and Tucker Saye. Both riders are Colorado
natives, and the local crowd could be heard cheering them on as they
circled the track. Anderson ran inside the top 15 for
most of the first moto, eventually finishing 17th. He backed it up in
the second moto with a strong 22nd place, finishing 16th overall. Saye
also ran well all day long. He qualified to the main show with a strong
2nd place in the Last Chance Qualifier and
backed up this ride with 35th and 32nd place moto finishes for 35th
overall.
Jason Anderson led Bel-Ray’s charge in the 250MX
class. The Rockstar Energy Racing rider finished 5th in the first moto,
and he charged back from a first turn crash in the second to secure 12th
place in the moto, passing 28 racers along
the way. These results secured him an 8th place overall finish. “This
weekend was pretty good, well ‘kinda good. Half good," said Anderson.
“The first race I ended up 5th, which was a decent 5th, but I feel like I
should have ended up 4th. The second moto
I took a digger in the first corner and came back to 12th, so I think I
secured the RC Hard Charger Award. That’s about the end of my day.”
Anderson’s teammates, Blake Wharton and Nico Izzi,
also performed well, with Wharton’s 14th and 8th moto places earning him
11th overall, while Izzi’s 11th and 13th moto finishes earned him 13th
overall. Wharton, who hails from Texas, is
looking forward to the weekend at Muddy Creek. ”I’m looking forward to
racing next weekend. We’ve never raced a national there, but I grew-up
racing on that track. Muddy Creek is kind of well-known, so that will be
cool.” Izzi missed the entire Supercross
season due to an injury, and he is just starting to get his race speed
back. Brake issues halted his charge in each moto, but as the season
progresses, look for him to be among the top racers in the class.

Rock River Yamaha WMX Report
Courtesy of Rock River Yamaha
Jefferson, WI – The Rock River Yamaha team made their way to Sacramento, CA with two of the fastest women’s motocross racers in the world for the Red Bull Hangtown Motocross Classic. Both racers have traveled to the United States with the hopes of finding success in the Lucas Oil Professional Motocross series with the support of the Rock River program behind them. Courtney Duncan and Mackenzie Tricker turned heads in the first round of the WMX Triple Crown with impressive finishes as newcomers to the WMX series.
New Zealand native, Courtney Duncan set the bar high with impressive lap times in qualifying. Her best lap time of a 2:13 was almost four seconds faster than the rest of her competition allowing her to feel confident heading into the first moto. As the day progressed and the track conditions became rougher, lap times were not as fast as they were earlier in the day, but Duncan maintained consistency allowing her to be a front runner in both motos. In the first moto, Duncan made her way past Sayaka Kaneshiro and Mackenzie Tricker to take over the lead, where she would stay for the remainder of the moto. She dominated the first moto as she gapped the rest of the women and finished with a substantial lead over second place, Sayaka Kaneshiro of Japan. In moto two, Duncan was faced with passing Kaneshiro and six-time WMX champion Jessica Paterson. Duncan made the passes and took the win in moto 2. She finished 1-1 for the first round of the three round WMX series. The 17-year-old Rock River Yamaha rider made a bold statement winning both motos aboard her YZ125 and beating some of the fastest girls in the sport in her WMX debut.
The Rock River riders proved to be tough competition as new additions to WMX. Round two of the WMX Triple Crown will be held at the High Point National in Mt. Morris, PA on June 8.
Rock River would like to thank the team sponsors for their support throughout the 2013 season: JT RACING, YAMAHA RACING, GYTR, YAMALUBE, ROOSTMX, FMF, K&N, XTRIG, MOTOSTAR, MATRIX, DUNLOP, RACE TECH, RENEGADE, ODI grips, FRITH CO., VERTEX, BELL, LIFT MASTER, MOTO TASSINARI, MILLENIUM CONCEPTS, CYCRA, VORTEX, GUTS, EVS, BOYESEN, JETT BOOTS, PEGARMOR.

FARMINGDALE, N.J. (May 20, 2013) ― The 2013 AMA
National Motocross Series began this weekend in Sacramento, CA at the
Red Bull Hangtown Classic. Following a grueling Monster Energy
Supercross series that saw racers crisscross the country
for 17 rounds in 18 weekends, the racers are enjoying a one-week break
before the outdoor racing begins. The 12-round outdoor series begins in
northern California in May and ends in Southern California in August,
stopping in 10 additional states along the
way. Bel-Ray racers are represented in both the 250MX and 450MX classes
during the year.
In 450MX class racing, Bel-Ray sponsored Rockstar
Energy Racing’s Ryan Sipes took advantage of his new move to the 450
class with an excellent 6th place overall following 8-7 moto finishes.
Sipes raced the 250 class during the Supercross
season, but he made the move to the 450 class after teammate Davi
Millsaps was forced to have season ending surgery on an injured leg.
Millsaps will rehab during the summer in preparation of defending his
second place Supercross series finish. In addition
to Sipes, Bel-Ray privateers Derek Anderson and Lowell Spangler
qualified for the 40-man final motos. Anderson’s 27th overall came from
38-23 moto finishes. Anderson’s first moto was cut short after a flying
rock cut his face, and he was forced to pull out.
He received stitches in between the motos and soldiered back for a
strong second moto. Spangler took the long trip from his Pennsylvania
home to compete against the best in the county, and his 26-28 moto
scores earned him 30th overall for the day.
In 250MX class racing, all three Rockstar Energy
team members scored top 20 moto results, with Jason Anderson leading the
way. Anderson finished 12th in the first moto and backed it up with a
strong 6th in the second moto for a 7th place
overall finish. Teammate Blake Wharton overcame a 17th place first moto
to finish 10th in moto 2 for 13th overall. Despite missing the entire
Supercross season due to injury, Nico Izzi came out swinging at
Hangtown. He finished 22-16 for 21st overall, a score
that is sure to improve as the series proceeds.

Bel-Ray Racers Searle and Lupino Score Top 10 Finishes in Portugal MXGP
Grand Prix rookie Decotis earns first grand prix points.
FARMINGDALE, N.J. (May 20, 2013) ― The 2013 FIM
World Championship series continued at the Beto Carrero circuit in
Brazil for the 7th round of the 17 race series. Bel-Ray sponsored Team
CLS Kawasaki racers Tommy Searle, Alessandro Lupino,
and Jimmy Decotis all came to Brazil looking for top finishes in their
races.
Despite being unable to train due to an injured
finger suffered during the previous round, MX1 competitor Tommy Searle
gutted out determined races throughout the event. His eighth place
finish in moto one was backed up with a ninth place
in the events Super Final. “I struggled all weekend with my broken
finger,” said Searle following the Super Final race. “I couldn’t ride
since Portugal. Before I got here, I did not think that it would make
such a difference! I’m weak in my shoulders, and
I got tired. In the MX1 race, I had a good start. On the second lap, I
crashed and lost many positions. It’s good that we now have two weekends
free; I need to recover and then get back on the bike to be ready for
France. I know that my speed is OK. I just
need to be fit again.” Searle is currently in sixth place in the series
standings.
Team CLS Kawasaki fields two Bel-Ray powered racers
in the MX2 class. Both team racers Alessandro Lupino and Jimmy Decotis
scored points in this highly competitive class. Despite suffering from
broken ribs suffered in a crash in the Italian
round of the series, Lupino showed grit and determination, scoring an
excellent top 10 finish with an 10th place finish. He backed this up
with a strong ride in the Super Final. This race includes the top racers
from each the MX1 and MX2 class, with the MX2
riders at a noticeable power disadvantage. Despite this, Lupino
finished in 20th place in the moto and 7th in his class. Lupino spoke
about his struggles following the Super Final. “Since I broke two ribs
at the Italian GP, I haven’t been able to train normally.
A s a result, my physical condition is not at its best. So here in
Brazil, it was not a good weekend for me. In the MX2 race, I already got
an arm pump after two laps. In the Super Final, I lost time when (Mel)
Pocock crashed in front of me at the second corner.
I now have three weeks to recover, and I will go to Holland to train.
We are nearly at the halfway point of the season, and I want to race in
the top five in France to give the team the results they expect.” Lupino
is currently in 9th place in the series standings.
Lupino’s teammate, Jimmy Decotis, scored the 1st
world championship points of his career with a 17th place 1st moto
finish. The Brazil event marked only the third world championship race
for the young American racer. Admittedly still adapting
to the pace of GP racing, Decotis will use the upcoming break to
increase his endurance in advance of the next grand prix. “This is
definitively a crazy place with such great fans. The track was one of
the better ones that I have faced since I started racing
the GPs, and I feel that I have made progress since Portugal,”said
Decotis. Everyone is working hard to achieve this, and I scored points
in both races here. My speed is better, but I still need to improve my
fitness so that I can keep the pace for the en
tire 40 minutes. I’m sure it will come soon.”
All three Team CLS racers rely on Bel-Ray products
to protect their machines and to perform at the highest level. The same
products used by the team can be found on dealer shelves worldwide.

Phil Nicoletti (Bethel, New York),Chris Blose (Phoenix) and Bobby Kiniry (Holland Patent, New York) will pilot the revolutionary Yamaha YZ450F across the American countryside as they look to make their mark on the 2013 season. Jessica Patterson (Tallahassee, Florida) will pilot the Yamaha YZ250F in the WMX class looking to add a seventh title to her resume.
Team Manager Allan Brown is certainly excited about contesting the complete motocross series with such a talented team, “We are hoping for good things out of the 23 year old Phil Nicoletti who showed tremendous potential in 2012, capping off the motocross season with a string of top 10 finishes in the 450 class,” said Brown. “I have worked with Chris Blose in Supercorss for several years now and this will be his return to Motocross. He is hungry and wants to show everyone he is not just a Supercross rider. Bobby Kiniry is the veteran of the team and we hope he will be able to show what heart and detrmination are all about. As for Jessica Patterson, we have already won three national titles together and are certainly looking to add another!”
Brown went on to say team will also be offering limited support to Gareth Swanepoel (South Africa) on a race-by-race basis. “As a former outdoor moto winner we are happy he (Swanepoel) is running our graphics on his own program,” said Brown. “By racing and being prepared, should an opportunity arise, he could quickly and easily step into that role. We’re looking forward to a successful season not only for Nicoletti, Blose, Kiniry and Patterson, but also for Swanepoel.”
N-Fab, producers of industry-leading off-road accessories, is also looking forward to a successful 2013 campaign, "We are very excited to be continuing our partnership with TiLUBE and Yamaha Racing for the 2013 Motocross series,” commented Thomas Fichter, N-Fab President and CEO.
