Houston, TX - The AMA Supercross series went to the mid west
over the weekend, visiting Houston, Texas’ Reliant Stadium. DNA Shred Stix/Star
Racing/Yamaha attended with high hopes for their lone East coast representative
by the name of #577 Martin Davalos. The day started out fairly well for Yamaha
backed rider, who put down an impressive lap time as 4th fastest in
timed qualifying.



Slated into Heat #1, Davalos had been feeling confident all
day and it showed when he reeled off a great start and settled into the 2nd
spot. Immediately, Davalos started to apply pressure to the race leader with
raw speed, and even nearly took the race lead for a brief moment. After filing
back into the 2nd position following a few mistakes, Davalos
regained his composure and had some luck on his side for sure. As mid way
through the race the leader washed out his front wheel, and right there to
capitalize was the #577 machine. Riding much more solidly as of late, Davalos
rode on to a brilliant Heat race win.



When the gate dropped in the main event, this time Davalos
was forced to sneak around the inside of the first turn in order to come out
near the front of the field. Holding down 7th on lap one, Davalos wasted
no time in getting out front and inside the top five.  Racing with the lead group, Martin was once
again establishing himself as a contender by holding his own and challenging
for the 4th place position.  Lap eight saw a minor setback after he missed his timing in a
rhythm section, causing a slip of one spot to 6th. Not backing down
one bit; he began to put his fitness to use and with only a handful of laps
remaining until the checkers Davalos continued with lots of effort.  Just for that he was graced with another
touch of luck, when the third place rider took a soil sample on the final lap
handing Davalos a stellar finish of 5th.
