TEAM ROCKSTAR ENERGY SUZUKI Claims a Top 10 in Atlanta SX







BREA, CA (February 28, 2011) –
Team Rockstar Energy Suzuki scored a top ten finish in the second
round of the 2011 AMA/FIM Supercross Lites East Championship season
Saturday night at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA. In the second pro
race of his career, Jason Anderson powered his Yoshimura-equipped
Suzuki RM-Z250 to a ninth-place finish in the 15-lap lites main
event. Teammate Ian Trettel broke his collarbone in a practice crash
earlier in the week and did not compete. Trettel is expected to
return to action next week in Daytona.



Anderson started out strong with the
third quickest time in the afternoon timed practices and carried that
momentum into his heat race with a solid third place aboard his
Suzuki. In the main, a decent start put him in ninth place after the
first lap and he was able to work his RMZ up to sixth over the next
few laps. A miscue put him back to 12th place on lap six, but
Anderson was able to fight his way back and cross the line in ninth
place.



“My first week in Houston I really
felt kind of nervous, uncomfortable and tentative,” said Anderson.
“This week I felt like I opened up a lot more. Practice went
awesome and I qualified third. I didn’t get too good of a start in
my heat race, but I still was able to finish third on my Suzuki RM-Z.
In the main, I was up to sixth but fell over and went to twelfth, but
I was able to get back up to finish ninth. My speed is there; I just
need to get a good start. I’m really excited for Daytona because
I’m more of an outdoor rider and it should be fun.”



The 2011 Rockstar Energy Suzuki team’s
next event is Saturday, March 5th, at Daytona International Speedway
in Daytona Beach, FL. You can meet the Rockstar Energy Suzuki team
riders on Friday, March 4th, from 5 to 6 PM at Deland Suzuki, 2610 S.
Woodland Boulevard, Deland, FL.
