Bel-Ray
racers were in action this past weekend at the Monster Energy
Supercross series in Indianapolis, Indiana, and at the Thor Mill Creek
Spring Classic in Mill
Creek, Alabama.
Team Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki's Blake Wharton started well in the main event and was in 3rd place when the race
was stopped due to an injured rider on the track. On the restart, Wharton moved into 2nd
place, and was closing on the rider in the lead, Ken Roczen. When
Roczen made a mistake and went down, Wharton was there to capitalize and
grab the lead. He
held on to take the victory and the top step of the podium. Teammate
Hunter Hewitt struggled in his heat race and was forced to the last
chance qualifier, where he finished out of a qualifying position and did
not make the main event.
The Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki Amateur team also had a successful weekend with Michael Mossiman finishing on the podium with
a 3rd place in the 85 (12-13) Modified class and Daniel Baker finishing 2nd in Open Amateur Non-Pro, and 3rd in 450B Stock. Jace Owen was the team’s standout racer with a 3rd in the 450B Stock class and Overall Championships
in the 250B Stock and Modified classes.
The
newest team member of Dodge/Hart & Huntington/Sycuan Casino/Bel-Ray
Racing racer, Kyle Regal was the only representative in the 450 class
this weekend. Team leader,
Josh Hansen, injured his knee and he was forced to withdraw from the
evening’s racing. In only his second race this season, and first with
the team, Regal made the main event with his 2nd place finish in the LCQ. Regal put in consistent laps and
finished 16th place when the checkered flag flew.
The series continues in Toronto, Canada this Saturday night.
