WMA Southwick Moto 2


It’s getting close to title time for the AMA/WMA Women’s National Motocross Championship Presented by Kawasaki. Jessica Patterson (American Honda/Honda of Houston/Fox Racing/Bad Boy Energy Drink) is working hard to try and close the gap to points leader Ashley Fiolek (American Honda/Red Bull/Alpinestars). After taking a pair of wins at Southwick, she’s trimmed Fiolek’s lead to 28 points, but time may be running out…there’s only two motos left at the season finale at Steel City.


This was the first visit to the sands of Southwick for the women, and Ashley Fiolek took the holeshot in each moto. But following her recent wrist injury and, and some additional dings the she scored while prepping for X Games 14, she’s definitely in defensive mode. Patterson went by in each moto, and Ashley only gave up a minimum amount of points in each moto.


Behind the two title contenders, Sherri Cruse (Zip Ty Racing/Malcolm Smith Suzuki/Accelerade) went 3-3 for third overall, while Sarah Whitmore (5-4) and Tarah Gieger (6-5) rounded out the top five.
