DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha Unadilla MX

New
Berlin, NY.
(August 13, 2011) - The AMA MX National Series is working it’s self
into the closing stages, and by visiting the historical Unadilla
Valley Sports Center in New York this past weekend another set of
accomplishments were at hand for the DNA Shred Stix/Star
Racing/Yamaha team. Fielding the top finishing Yamaha pilots, #35
Kyle Cunningham, #387 Gareth Swanepoel, #533 Gannon Audette, and #76
Kyle Partridge, the team felt content that some good would come of
our effort.

Shining
on this day would be Cunningham, after some time off where he trained
feverishly, the determined youngster was head strong and choose to
tackle this race. In moto one, Cunningham started off in less than
stellar territory, sitting just inside the top fifteen. Very
sufficiently, the #35 machine maintained the pace he needed
throughout moto’s end and came away with a 8^th.
Changing his ways, a start of 3^rd
for Cunningham in moto two had him running with the leaders for more
than a few laps. As the race progressed, Cunningham used his
patented formula, by digging deep and putting down solid laps, this
helped him steadily challenge for the podium. Cunningham’s strong
will paid off, because the ever evolving rider took 4^th
yet again in the moto and a well deserved 4th overall on the day.

Next
on the list was Swanepoel, who once again put together a solid, and
consistent day which boosted him close to having a shot of acquiring
the 5^th
position in overall points. Moto one for Swanepoel began with a 2^nd
place start, from there without hesitation he took a hold of the 1^st
position for two laps. Never the one to give up on a great
opportunity, Swanepoel held 2^nd
late into the 30 min. +2 lap race, in the end he was able capitalize
and landed in 4^th.
A 40^th
place start in moto two due to a crash would be a huge hurdle to
Swanepoel and his pursuit. In the opening five laps, the likeable
rider bounced back to 24^th,
turning his outing more positive with some great moves brought him
back to 20^th
and in the thick of several battles. As the moto drew to a close,
Swanepoel kept steady, not chancing throwing away any points and went
on to finish 16^th.

Seeing
better days would be Audette, after a tough ride in moto one that he
started in 19^th,
and then proceeded on a soldiering act that took him to a finish of
15^th
Moto two for Audette began with an 14^th
place start, most of his time was spent shuffling around throughout
the race without any good returns. Never the less, he came away with
a 14^th
place to add to his tally.
