DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha - Dallas Supercross Report

Arlington,
TX. (April 2, 2011) The
AMA Supercross East coast Lites Series went off with a bang to a huge
fan base inside a newly designed stadium in the Dallas area this past
Saturday night. Both classes had their exciting moments on the track
to say the least. DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha had their hand in
all the commotion throughout the night of racing, fielding #25 Ryan
Sipes, and #533 Gannon Audette. To begin the day both teammates
showed promise, as Sipes clocked in at 2^nd
quickest and Audette came out 8^th
in Timed-qualifying.

Audette
came out in Heat #1 sitting in 2^nd;
entering turn two a forced pass combined with falling competitor led
to him crashing. Meanwhile, Sipes also started well and made a move
into the lead by lap two. From there, pure speed catapulted him out
ahead to a ten second lead and eventual win. Slated into the LCQ,
Audette took his Yamaha to a finishing spot of 1^st,
and in the process he honed his lines on the slick track for the
final.

With
the gate dropping for the Main Event, Sipes made it through the first
turn unscathed holding 2^nd
as he exited, while Audette darted around the outside and it looked
as if the holeshot might be his. However, he was shut out from the
inside, pushing him to the rear of the field in 14^th.
Riding a step above the rest, Sipes on the second lap moved into the
1^st
position and established himself as the rider to beat for three laps,
until an error in a rhythm section led to #25 filing into 2^nd
place. Riding strong as he had all day, he made strides to gain
back time on the leader, but a small mental lapse caused Ryan to hit
some tuff blocks exiting a turn and crash in a heap. Forging forward
within the first half of the race, Audette was sitting 10^th
with plenty of time to improve. Sadly the team’s title contender
Sipes remounted, but gave way to having the wind knocked out of him
and pulled off, eventually finishing out 17^th.
The ever progressing, Star rider Audette rode the wheels of his YZ
250F hard with only a few laps to go, vying to obtain 8^th,
doing just that he would go on to finish there for a strong
performance.
