Musquin Earns 7th at Indianapolis Supercross

Indianapolis,
IN – Red Bull/KTM Factory rider Marvin Musquin earned another top ten
result at the Indianapolis Supercross in his final Supercross class race
of the season at the Lucas Oil Stadium.

Musquin had a
decent heat race starting inside the top ten. After the eight lap race,
he had climbed up a few positions to move into 6th place and easily
qualify into the main event.

In the main event, Musquin
had a great jump off the gate and rounded the first corner in 3rd place.
He held the position for a few corners before dropping to 4th. He
maintained the 4th place position on his KTM 350 SX-F machine for the
next two laps while holding off the charge of Ryan Villopoto. A lap
later, Musquin lost the position to Villopoto and another small mistake
cost him one more position. Once he had settled into 7th place he began
to find his rhythm and rode a strong race. Musquin was able to hold his
7th place result for the remaining laps to finish in that position when
the checkered flag flew.

“I am very happy with the past
three weekends,” remarked Musquin. “I had a lot of fun riding the 350 in
the Supercross class and am glad I was able to keep racing during the
time off from the West Lites Supercross Series. I will now put in a few
more weeks of riding on my 250 to be ready to go for the next West
round. I just want to thank the Red Bull/KTM Team for giving me the
chance to race these last few events.”

Musquin’s
teammate, Ryan Dungey, missed his second race of the season as he
continues to recover from his collarbone surgery. Despite missing two
rounds of the series, Dungey still holds 2nd place in the series point
standings.
