-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-
Corona,
CA – With three races of the 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross East
Coast Series in the books, Pro Taper’s Justin Barcia remains undefeated.
This week’s win came in front of the jubilant Edward Jones Dome crowd
in St. Louis, MO.
Coming off of dominating wins in Arlington and
Atlanta, the defending East Coast Lites Champion came out swinging in
St. Louis. In the afternoon qualifying sessions Barcia was just edged
out for the top spot by rookie prodigy Justin Bogle. Following suit of
his Lites class teammates, Kevin Windham notched a solid top three
qualifying time in the 450cc class, setting himself up for a great
evening of racing.
In the Lites main event, Pro Taper’s Barcia
launched out to the early lead and never looked back. The Geico Honda
rider led all 15 laps in route to his third win in a row. He now sits 18
points ahead of the field and looks to be in the drivers seat of his
title defense run. Teammate Justin Bogle was in route to another career
best ride, but a crash on the final lap bumped him off the podium.
Justin remounted in time to salvage a respectable fifth place.
MotoConcepts Racing/Pro Taper backed Jake Canada put together his best
ride of the season. Canada finished up a solid sixth place after running
fourth for the majority of the main event. Malcolm Stewart and Kyle
Cunningham also put their Pro Taper equipped bike inside the top ten in
St. Louis.
It was no secret that Kevin Windham was not happy with his performance in his 200thmain
event last week in Atlanta. Kevin rebounded this weekend with a top
three in qualifying, a solid heat race and a season best matching fourth
place in the main event. Pro Taper would also like to commend Brett
Metcalfe and Nick Wey on their top ten performances.
Next stop
is at the infamous Daytona International Speedway this Saturday, March
10th. Be sure to tune in to Pro Taper’s social media sites for updates
