Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Racing Wrap-Up– April 16, 2012


The
Monster Energy Supercross series continued on Saturday night at the
Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Bel-Ray
teams were in action in both the Lites and Supercross classes, ready to
compete for the victory.


The
Dodge/Hart & Huntington/Sycuan Casino/Bel-Ray Racing team has shown
flashes of brilliance this season in between disappointment
and frustration due to injuries. After getting clearance from his
doctors to ride again, Ivan Tedesco had just days to prepare for his
return to racing. He was in a position to make the main event from his
heat race, when he stalled his bike in a technical
section of the track. Unable to restart quickly, he was forced to enter
the last chance qualifier. The LCQ wasn’t much better for Tedesco, as
he missed a qualifying position and did not make the main event.
Teammate Kyle Regal qualified directly to the main
event and raced to a 17th place finish.


Bel-Ray
backed Team Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki racer Blake Wharton has been
the picture of contingency this season with top 5 finishes
at each of the previous rounds. Unfortunately, New Orleans was not as
kind to the likeable Texan. Despite a 2nd place finish in his
heat race, Wharton struggled in the main event. After getting a last
place start, Wharton sliced through the field
and was able to work his way to a 14th place finish at the
checkered flag. Teammate Hunter Hewitt returned to action after a recent
injury. He missed directly qualifying out of the heat race and could
only manage a 4th place finish in
the LCQ, thus missing the main event.


The Supercross series continues this Saturday in Seattle, Washington.
