Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Racing Wrap-Up

FARMINGDALE, NJ – January 16, 2012 – Bel-Ray Company, Inc.  – Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Racing Wrap-Up

Round 2 of the 2012 Monster Energy Supercross season took place on Saturday night, January 14^th in Phoenix, Arizona. Riders from all 3 of Bel-Ray’s professional
Supercross teams competed.

TwoTwo
Motorsports/Bel-Ray Racing's Chad Reed started the evening well on the
challenging track, recording the second fastest lap in timed qualifying.
Reed’s night
went downhill from there. While challenging for the lead in his heat
race he fell in a corner, handing the lead away. Reed was able to
quickly remount and qualify for the main event with a 7^th place finish. Reed began the main event around the middle
of the pack. He challenged quickly and was able to advance to 7^th place by mid-race. As the main event drew to a close Reed worked his way into 5^th place where he finished. His finish, coupled with the 2^nd place from the opening
round a week ago leaves Reed in 3^rd place in the series standings.

The
Dodge/Hart & Huntington/Sycuan Casino/Bel-Ray Racing team came to
Phoenix down a rider as Josh Hill suffered a broken leg in Anaheim and
will be out of action
for the next several weeks. The 3 remaining members qualified directly
for the main event from their respective heat races. Josh Hansen and
Ivan Tedesco finished 4^th and 5^th respectively in the first heat, while Kyle Partridge finished
8^th in the second heat. The main event was a bit more
difficult for the team as all 3 riders suffered from poor starts and
were forced to work their way through the field from the back. By the
end of the main event, Hansen had worked his way into
his second top 10 finish of the season. Tedesco improved on last week
by finishing in 11^th
 place, and Partridge in his first main event of the year, finished 17^th. All 3 riders currently sit inside the top 20 in the series point’s standings with Hansen in 10^th, Tedesco in 11^th and Partridge in 20^th.

Team
Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki continues to turn in promising
performances. Both Jason Anderson and Martin Davalos have shown they
have the speed to run up front.
Anderson turned in an excellent 3^rd place finish in his
qualifying heat. Teammate Davalos was leading his heat when an
unfortunate mistake caused him to go down. Davalos was not able to
recover quickly enough for a direct transfer, but he won the
LCQ and transferred to the main event. Both riders started inside the
top 10 in the main event. Anderson rode a consistent race to an eventual
7^th place finish. Davalos had an excellent race going and was up to 8^th place before retiring
with a couple of laps to go. He was awarded a 20^th place finish. Anderson currently sits in 6^th place and Davalos in 24^th place in the overall series standings.

All
of Bel-Ray’s teams will be in action when the series continues this
Saturday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California
