Bel-Ray and Reed Look for Victory #2 in Texas

FARMINGDALE, NJ – May 27, 2011 – Bel-Ray Company, Inc.  – Bel-Ray and Reed Look for Victory #2 in Texas



The
2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championship Series continues this Memorial Day
weekend with the second round of the series taking place this Saturday
at Freestone Raceway in Wortham, Texas.


TwoTwo Motorsports
/ Bel-Ray Racing’s Chad Reed started his assault on the 2011 AMA
National Motocross Title with a victory at the first round in the
series held last weekend in Sacramento, California. Reed’s excellent
performance in round one despite limited outdoor testing time is an
indication of how fast he will be this season. With an extra week of
testing, the Honda CRF450 will be even better matched to keep up the
pace.



Reed’s 2-1 moto
scores gave him 47 points and a tie for the lead in the season points
standings with series rival, Ryan Dungey. Reed was the 2009 series
champion and if his performance at round one is any indication,  he is
a favorite to win the championship this season.



Texas is famous for high temperatures and an unforgiving track, both which play into Reed’s strengths.
