Rockstar Energy Suzuki Powers Through Spring Creek




Millville, Minnesota – July 19, 2010 –
The Rockstar Energy Suzuki team had a promising day of racing on
Saturday at Spring Creek in Millville, Minnesota. With most of the
team’s roster out with injuries, three racers took to the track at
Round 7 of the AMA Pro Motocross series. Tommy Hahn, the team’s star
450-class racer, came back from a foot injury sustained at Round 5 and
was ready to show that he’s one of the racers to watch in the premier
class.

 

Hahn put together a great race in moto 1. Battling his injury, the
excessive heat and humidity, and the other racers, Hahn got a mid-pack
start and powered through the field to a sixth-place finish. Picking
riders off right and left, Hahn was impressive on the track. “My bike
setup was so good today. The bike is just awesome,” Hahn said after the
race. “I started the first moto mid-pack and worked up to sixth. I was
happy with that.”

 

Knowing he has the power and the speed to be a front-runner in the
class, Hahn set his sights on the second moto. As the gate dropped for
the second time in the 450 class, Hahn worked his way toward the front
of the pack again by picking off riders and selecting the best lines on
the track. He was in third and looking like he was going to move into
second place when a punctured tire hampered his efforts. On the next
lap, Tommy was forced into the mechanic’s area to replace the tire. By
the time he got back into the race, he was no longer in the top 20.
Although the end of the moto was disappointing, Hahn walked away
knowing he has the skill and talent to run up front of the highly
competitive class.

 

“In the second moto, I just put my head down and focused. I was trying
to be smooth and fast, and it worked,” Hahn said. “I was making good
progress until I got a flat front. I had the podium wrapped up, but
there’s nothing I can do about it now. I just have to focus on next
week. I have the speed to be up there, and the work I’m doing at home
is good, and I hope everyone sees that through the bad luck I’ve been
having lately.”

 

Jarred Browne, who’s filling in for the injured Jake Moss, took the
team’s other RM-Z450 onto the track at Spring Creek. While his first
moto was over before it began as he was held at the line until he was
able to install the mandatory "Eject” safety device in his helmet, he
concentrated on making up for it in the second race. He managed to stay
on the right side of mid-pack for the entire moto and finished 16th, putting him in 20th
overall for the day. In the 250 class, Chris Johnson filled in for the
team. He finished inside the top 20 in the first moto but succumbed to
bad luck in moto 2 where he finished 36th.

 

Look for Rockstar Energy Suzuki’s Tommy Hahn to be at the front of the
pack in Washougal and battling for a podium finish. Round 8 of the
series takes place on Saturday, July 24th.
