TiLUBE Racing's Monster Energy Supercross Seattle, Washington Report

TiLUBE Racing Team Rides with Heart but Struggles with Rut-Filled Track and Crashes in Seattle, Washington


 



Advance, NC (April 19, 2011)
-
It was a rough track full of ruts in Seattle and crashes that kept
the TiLUBE riders from making the main event despite strong efforts in
their heat races.



Kiniry qualified in the 17th spot with his lap time of 55.626 seconds and Cody Gilmore qualified in 28th with his time of 59.721 seconds.



Robert
Kiniry (#62) was working his way into a transfer spot for the main
event when he got caught up with a tight pack of riders positioned in 8th
through 10th. One of the riders in the pack took out Kiniry eliminating
his chance to transfer directly from the heat race. Kiniry finished in
17th place in his heat.



Cody
Gilmore (#374) crashed in his heat race in the whoop section and
dislocated his shoulder. He was examined by Dr. Bodnar and told to skip
the LCQ so that he could heal up and be ready to race at the next round
in Salt Lake City. Gilmore finished in 18th place in his heat race.



Since
Gilmore was sitting out the LCQ with his injured shoulder only Robert
Kiniry was on the line for the start of the LCQ. He got a poor start
from a very muddy section of the starting line but rode a great race
from dead last up to 8th place.



"Both
Cody and Bobby rode with a lot of heart and did their best. Cody's
crash was a bit scary but he's going to be fine by Salt Lake. Although
it wasn't our best showing, I'm glad we got through the race and look
forward to the two final rounds,"
commented Tony Wenck, TiLUBE Racing team manager.



After fifteen rounds of the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross Series, Matt Boni is in 20th place, Matt Goerke is in 29th place and Robert Kiniry is in 30th place overall in the standings.



The TiLUBE Racing team's next race is Saturday, April 30, 2011 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah.



The
SX races will be televised on May 1 at 12:00 pm ET on CBS. The SX Lites
