Yoshimura on the Podium Again at Daytona SX



Chino, Calif. – March 8, 2010 – Daytona. This name strikes fear
into the hearts of most Supercross racers. The torturous track has long
been the roughest, most challenging track on the circuit.

Yoshimura
rider Austin Stroupe led the Supercross Lites night off with a
commanding win in his heat race. His Rockstar Makita Suzuki Yoshimura
powered 2010 Suzuki RM-Z250 ripped to a huge win in fine fashion making
a strong statement in the process.

In the first 450cc
Supercross class race, Yosh rider Ryan Dungey spun on the start and got
off the line in 6th, but at the checker, he had another heat race win
and fast lap time as well. Things were looking good for Yoshimura and
Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki. The track was really getting rough and
rutted – it was Daytona at it’s best.

The second 450
Supercross heat saw Honda fill-in rider Trey Canard pull a big holeshot
on his Yoshimura equipped Honda. By the end of the race both Canard and
his Honda teammate Davi Millsaps made it into the main event.

In the Lites Main event Stroupe rode hard but came up a little bit short carding yet another 2nd place finish.

In
the Supercross main - Yoshimura rider Ryan Dungey was on the podium
once again with a second place finish and a twenty point lead in
overall points.  Trey Canard rode hard all night and landed on the
podium as well with a third place finish aboard his factory Honda CRF
450R.  Yoshimura rider Davi Millspaps finished in 5th place,
maintaining his 4th place in points.



Honda Red Bull Racing's Davi Millsaps put on a late charge in the 450 class to nab the fourth spot overall.


Trey Canard, in his third 450-class race of the season, put himself on the podium with a third-place finish.


Ryan
Dungey continues to lead the points in the Supercross class and he
finished second in the main event with his Yoshimura-equipped RM-Z450


Ryan Morais filled in for the injured Matt Moss on the Rockstar Makita Suzuki bike in Daytona and came out in the top 10.
