Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Racing Preview

Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Racing Preview – January 20, 2012

Round 3 of the Monster
Energy Supercross Series will take place on Saturday night, January
21st in Los Angeles, California. Bel-Ray teams and riders will be in
attendance at the famous Dodger Stadium for only the
second time in the sport's history.

For the 2012 season,
Bel-Ray is the lubricant of choice for TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray
Racing, Dodge Motorsports/Hart & Huntington/Sycuan Casino/Bel- Ray
Racing and Team Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki, as well as
several privateers competing each weekend.

TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray Racing's Chad Reed is looking to rebound from his 5^th place finish last weekend in Phoenix, Arizona. Despite a positive start by setting the second fastest
lap time, Reed struggled in the heat race taking a 7^th place
finish. Reed had challenged for the lead, and suffered from an
unfortunate mistake that caused him to go down. Reed’s main event was
more successful as he worked through the field after
an uncharacteristic mid-pack start. By the time the checkered flag
fell, Reed managed a 5^th place finish. This was the 125^th time in his career that Reed has finished in the top 5 in a Supercross main event. Reed currently sits 3^rd in
the series standings. 

The
Dodge/Hart & Huntington/Sycuan Casino/Bel-Ray Racing team came to
Phoenix looking to improve on their opening round results. Finishing in 4^th and 5^th respectively

in their heat race Josh Hansen and Ivan Tedesco qualified directly for
the main event. Teammate Kyle Partridge took a respectable 8^th place
finish in the second heat, and also went directly to the main event.
 Despite starting near the back of the
field and getting involved in early crashes with other riders, the
entire team made forward progress, and finished strong by the end of the
race. Hansen placed 10^th, Tedesco 11^th and Partridge finished 17^th. All 3 are in the
top 20 in the points standings with Hansen in 10^th, Tedesco in 11^th and Partridge in 20^th.

The
newest addition to Bel-Ray’s professional racing teams is Team Rockstar
Energy Racing Suzuki. Both team racers, Martin Davalos and Jason
Anderson, have performed well in qualifying
and have made the cut into the main event at each round. Anderson has
been a consistent finisher with 7^th place finishes at each of
the first 2 rounds. Teammate Davalos has been less successful as he has
failed to finish either round. Both riders
come to Los Angeles looking to improve and challenge for the podium
this Saturday night.
