Bel-Ray Racers Earn Top 10 Finishes in San Diego

Courtesy of Bel-Ray

Jason Anderson Retains Points Lead with Podium Finish

FARMINGDALE, N.J. (February 10, 2014)- The 2014 Monster Energy Supercross Series made its last stop in California on Saturday night. The San Diego Supercross, held at Qualcomm Stadium, marked the first-ever Military Appreciation Night for the series, with special opening ceremonies and one-off gear and graphics showing military support. Bel-Ray racer Jason Anderson continued to be the top Bel-Ray racer at the event, with a second place in the 250 class. This result gave him sole possession of the series points lead.
Anderson was once again the fastest rider in timed qualifying and set himself up for a positive heat race and evening of racing. This all ended abruptly as Anderson came in contact with another rider and was on the ground just feet from the starting gate. But Anderson regrouped. He picked himself up off the ground, dusted himself off and set out to gain a qualifying position. He was able to finish 6^th place and qualify for the main event. A top 5 start lead put Anderson in a good position for the 15-lap main event. He was second by the second lap and into second place by the mid-way point; but the leader was too far out of reach, and Anderson would earn a second place for his efforts. He now sits on top of the points standings as the sole leader.
In 450 class racing action, Bel-Ray-backed RCH Suzuki racer Broc Tickle scored the top Bel-Ray results. Tickle’s 8^th place finish matches his season-best results. A holeshot in the main event put Bel-Ray racer Andrew Short at the front of the field. Aggressive passes by other riders slowed Short down a bit, but he persevered and scored another top-10 finish for the 6^th time this season. Following Short with an 11^th place finish was Bel-Ray RCH racer Josh Hill. After suffering a broken collarbone in Oakland on January 25^th, many assumed Hill would be off the bike for an extended period of time. But Hill showed the industry that they should never underestimate him and lined up for the main event this weekend less than two weeks after surgery. Even a crash during afternoon practice, where he landed on his damaged collarbone, couldn’t stop the determined Hill. He was rewarded for his perseverance with an 11^th place finish.  Bel-Ray-supported Rockstar Energy KTM racer Ivan Tedesco finished 13th, and BTO Sports-KTM-WPS racer Matt Goerke finished 15^th.
All three of Bel-Ray’s supported race teams and all of the riders rely on Bel-Ray lubricants to protect their machines and provide maximum power. Bel-Ray’s Works Thumper Racing Synthetic-Ester 4T Engine Oil is one of the products chosen by the teams to keep their machines performing their best.
Works Thumper Racing Synthetic Ester 4T Engine Oil is a 4-stroke synthetic motorcycle racing oil that has been developed for full works competition use and is designed to withstand extreme racing conditions.
The supercross series heads east to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for Round 7 on February 15.

Bowers Sweeps Main Events to Secure Fourth Overall Victory of AMSOIL Arenacross Season in Sacramento

Hometown Rider Gared Steinke Wins Western Regional Arenacross Lites

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (February 8, 2014) – AMSOIL Arenacross, featuring Ricky Carmichael’s Road to Supercross, made its west coast debut on Saturday night from the California state capital inside Sleep Train Arena. The sixth round of the 2014 season produces a dominant performance from defending Arenacross Class Champion Tyler Bowers who swept each of the night’s Main Events to capture his championship-leading fourth overall win of the season aboard his Babbitt’s Monster Energy/AMSOIL Kawasaki presented by Maxxis machine. In the first round of the Western Regional Arenacross Lites Class, Sacramento-area native Gared Steinke, of Woodland, took the victory aboard his Motosport Hillsboro KTM.

Bowers grabbed the holeshot in the first Arenacross Class Main Event with his teammate, and championship points leader, Zach Ames in second and TiLUBE/PBR/TUF Racing Honda’s Jacob Hayes in third. The trio of riders opened a gap on the field and maintained their spots throughout the 15-lap Main Event to finish 1-2-3.

Bowers selected the inversion for the second Main Event, picking no inversion and setting the tone for an intense battle for victory.

As the gate dropped on the final Main Event, Bowers once again asserted himself in the lead with Ames on his rear fender. This time, local rider Daniel Blair, of Lodi, positioned himself in third aboard his Frontier Lubricants KTM. Hayes got shuffled out of the gate and emerged in eighth place, never factoring into the battle up front. Bowers held a consistent advantage over his teammate throughout the race and the duo widened their margin on the field every lap. Behind them, Farmers Insurance/Reynard Mods Suzuki’s Cory Green took over third on Lap 2 and maintained the spot through to the finish.

Bowers’ wire-to-wire effort in each Main Event resulted in his most dominant effort of the season, but the advantage he gained in the championship standings was minimal as Ames’ pair of runner-up finishes gave up just two points. TiLUBE/PBR/TUF Racing Honda’s Kyle Regal (4-4) grabbed the final spot on the overall podium.

In Head-to-Head Bracket Racing, Bowers defeated Motosport.com/MJM Express/Spinechillers Racing Kawasaki’s Michael McDade to give him one additional championship point on the evening.

Ames’ lead in the Arenacross Class standings now sits at three points over Bowers.

The opening round of the Western Regional Arenacross Lites Class Championship kicked off a 10-race battle for the title that will ultimately end at the final round of the season. With the hometown crowd behind him, Blair moved into the early lead of the 18-lap Main Event with KMS KTM’s Dave Ginolfi and TZR Woodstock KTM’s Scott Zont in tow. Steinke began the race in fourth. Blair led the first six laps of the Main Event but experienced misfortune while fending off Ginolfi and dropped to seventh. Ginolfi, Zont, and Steinke assumed the top three spots and began a captivating battle at the front of the field that carried on through the remainder of the race. Ginolfi began the final lap with the lead in hand, but the battle intensified as Steinke, who moved into second, applied pressure and made an aggressive move to steal the win. Gateway Cycles Kawasaki’s Steven Mages, who fought his way into podium position, slipped past for second, while Ginolfi fell to third.

AMSOIL Arenacross continues next weekend with the seventh round of the season from Nampa, Idaho, and the Idaho Center. Two nights of racing begin on Friday, February 14, and Saturday, February 15, at 9 p.m. ET each night.

Nicoletti to Substitute for Grant in San Diego

Courtesy of JGRMX

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. – Phil Nicoletti will substitute for Josh Grant this Saturday Feb. 8 in San Diego Calif. at Qualcomm Stadium for round six of the 2014 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Grant suffered a torn muscle in his shoulder during the Phoenix, Ariz. event on Jan.11.  Always a determined competitor Grant has tried to race through the pain since, but it has proven to be very difficult. He and the team feel that resting and healing so he can regain his speed and strength before racing again is the best decision.
Nicoletti joined the team prior to the start of the 2014 season as part of a new pilot program designed to assist promising talent while also providing a substitute rider ready to fill in on a moment’s notice. Nicoletti has been practicing on a team bike fine and is acclimated and comfortable on his YZ450F. He has been training at Club MX in Chesterfield, S.C. and is fully prepared for Saturday’s event without any extra effort needed on his part, or the team’s. Nicoletti, who finished as high as seventh overall in 2013 as a privateer at the roughest track on the outdoor circuit, Moto X 338 in Southwick, Mass., is excited about his first opportunity to race for the team this year. 
With support from JGRMX, along with Thomas Fichter, CEO of N-FAB, and Dr. Maresca, of St. Lawrence Radiology, Nicoletti is scheduled to race six events in 2014, in addition to any needed substitutions.

Nicoletti’s first race as a third rider on the team will be Feb. 22 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga.
The San Diego race will honor the over one million service men and women in the armed forces with the first ever Military Appreciation Race, in support of Operation Homefront, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides assistance to service members and their families with a focus on wounded veterans who served on or after 9/11.
