TEAM ROCKSTAR ENERGY SUZUKI Scores A Top Ten Finish At Daytona Supercross


BREA, CA (March 7, 2011) –
Team Rockstar Energy Suzuki scored a top ten finish in the third
round of the 2011 AMA/FIM Supercross Lites East Championship season
Saturday night at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona
Beach, FL. Jason Anderson powered his Yoshimura-equipped Suzuki
RM-Z250 to a sixth-place finish in the 15-lap lites main event on the
extremely tough Daytona track.



Anderson started the day 11th in timed
practice and pulled off a ninth-place finish in his heat race aboard
his Suzuki. In the main, he got bumped at the start and his shift
lever was bent and stuck in third. Despite having to race the entire
main in third gear, Anderson was able to work his RM-Z250 through the
field to eventually cross the line in sixth place.



“Daytona actually worked out pretty
good for me,” said Anderson. “I struggled a little bit in my heat
race but made it through to the main. In the main, I got bumped at
the start and bent my shift lever; it ended up stuck in third gear. I
had to ride the whole race in third gear so I was on the rev limiter
every lap through the whoops, but my RMZ was amazing and held
together – I was pretty excited to come away with a sixth. The
Daytona track was kind of a curveball for me, so I’m excited to go
to Indy and get back to an indoor stadium.”



Teammate Ian Trettel suffered a bad
crash in the afternoon’s first timed practice and sustained a
serious head injury. Trettel was treated onsite by the Asterisk
mobile medical crew and local EMTs and immediately transported to
Halifax Medical Center, where he remains under sedation and
observation. Reports indicate no sign of spinal cord damage or
paralysis and initial CT scans were positive.



The 2011 Rockstar Energy Suzuki team’s
next event is Saturday, March 12th, at Lucas Oil Stadium in
Indianapolis, IN. You can meet the Rockstar Energy Suzuki team riders
on Friday, March 11th, from 6 to 7 PM at Dreyer Motorsports, 4170
West Washington Street, Indianapolis, IN.
