Sipes Nabs another Top Five in Toronto

Spokane, Wash. (March
15, 2010) – With the conclusion of the lone North of the border race
in Toronto, Canada, the 2010 AMA Monster Energy Supercross 250 East
series has
now reached the halfway point.  With only four rounds remaining, both of
the MotoConcepts Racing 250 entrants, Ryan Sipes and Vince Friese, are
in the
top ten overall. 

The
Toronto Supercross marked the fourth straight race that the YZ250F
MotoConcepts
Yamaha was the first blue bike to cross the finish line.  This past
week,
that honor went to Ryan Sipes, for the third time this year.  The
Kentucky
native had a solid day all around, starting with an impressive second
overall
in qualifying.  After his fourth place finish in heat number one, Sipes
continued to stay up front and finished fifth overall in the main.  With
half of the East season complete, number 46 is solidly in 6^th
overall for the series.

Riding
the other YZ250F was Missouri native Vince Friese.  Number 61 was
getting
it done and after an eighth place finish in heat one, Friese (Free-ZEE)
rode
hard in the main, just missing a top ten, finishing 11^th. 
Friese now sits in tenth overall for the season, but is only two points
out of
8^th place.   

In
the 450 class Kyle Chisholm continued his successful march into the top
ten and
has done an outstanding job filling in for the injured Matt Goerke.  The
Florida native advanced to the main after finishing a solid fourth place
in
heat number two.  After twenty laps of 450 racing, number 55 came home
in
11^th place.  With ten rounds of 450cc Supercross racing
complete, Chisholm sits in 9^th
overall.     

“We
had another solid day on the track,” stated Team Manager Michael
Young.  “Ryan continues to run in the top five and we both expect a
podium finish for him this year.  Vince has displayed noticeable
improvement from his rookie season and it is great to have him join
Sipes and
Chisholm in the top ten overall.
