Carlsbad,
CA
(March 14, 2011) –
Dodge
Motorsports/Hart & Huntington riders Chris Blose and Ivan Tedesco
both experienced an off night at Round 10 of AMA/FIM Supercross at
Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana to finish 18th
and 19th
respectively.


In
qualifying, the Hart & Huntington teammates were paired together
in the stacked heat race #2 with the likes of James Stewart, Trey
Canard, Justin Brayton and Ryan Dungey. Both Tedesco and Blose
successfully transferred into the main event with Tedesco finishing
5th and Blose finishing 8th.


Tedesco
started the main event strong and just missed the holeshot, charging
3rd
out of the gate behind Ryan Villopoto and Chad Reed. Tedesco
continued to challenge near the front of the pack and put down
competitive lap times until a crash on lap seven. Blose started in
17th out of the gate, reinjuring his ankle and ultimately finished in
18th
position.


“I felt
really good all weekend and my starts were good for the first time in
a long time. I got up front in the main event and was doing good and
on lap seven I crashed before the finish line jump and jammed my
wrist. I’m not sure what happened because it happened so fast and I
was on the ground before I knew it,” said Tedesco. Ivan currently
sits 11th
in points.


“In the
heat race I was feeling pretty good. Coming off my injury in Daytona
I was just trying to make the main event and to do good there. I got
a bad start in the main and kept trying to make something happen. I
got a bit impatient and I high-sided trying to make a pass and I
reinjured my ankle. I was able to finish the race in 18th
to collect a couple points,” said Blose. Chris currently sits 15th
in points.


The Dodge
Motorsports/Hart and Huntington team was at Dreyer Motorsports on
Friday prior to the event for a dealer signing and had 3,200 fans in
attendance. The team heads to Jacksonville, Florida next weekend for
round 11 of Supercross racing and will be at Jacksonville Powersports
on Friday, March 18th
from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
