TEAM ROCKSTAR ENERGY SUZUKI BRINGS HOME ANOTHER TOP-10 FINISH AT UNADILLA






NEW BERLIN, NY (August 14, 2011)
Team Rockstar Energy Suzuki celebrated another strong showing in the
2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championships on Saturday. The Rockstar Energy
Drink Unadilla National saw Martin Davalos finish in seventh place
overall in the 250 class at round nine of the series in New Berlin,
NY. Rockstar Energy Suzuki teammates Ryan Morais, Nick Paluzzi and
Jason Anderson followed in 12th, 13th and 16th,respectively.



In the first moto, Davalos was
struggling with an injury sustained during practice and was happy to
finish up in 14th place. But in the second moto, the Rockstar Energy
Suzuki rider put the pain behind him and rallied. Davalos got a good
start on his Yoshimura-equipped Rockstar Energy Suzuki RM-Z250 and
was right there in the hunt for all 30 minutes plus two laps in the
second moto. Once the dust cleared, Davalos had piloted his RM-Z250
to an impressive fifth-place finish, which was good enough for a
seventh-place overall for the day.



“This past weekend was all right,”
said Davalos. “But in practice, I got hit by a rock and it knocked
out my tooth. The nerve was exposed, so I was in a lot of pain in the
first moto and I was just trying to survive. But the Rockstar Energy
Suzuki team was really supportive and helped me put a lot of heart
into the second moto. I’m happy with my performance in the second
moto; unfortunately, the tooth threw everything off. But we have a
weekend off to regroup and work on some things, and I’ll see the
dentist to get everything fixed up. So I’m looking forward to
Southwick – it’s one of the toughest races on the circuit and
I’ve got to be prepared for that one.”



The Rockstar Energy Suzuki team’s
next event is the 10th round of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross
Championship on Saturday, August 27th, at the Rockstar Energy Drink
Southwick National in Southwick, MA. You can meet the Rockstar Energy
Suzuki riders on Friday, August 26th, from 6 to 7 PM, at Motorsports
International, 444 Washington St. (Rt. 20) in Auburn, MA.
