Dodge, Sycuan Casino, Hart and Huntington, Bel-Ray Racing Supercross Team Atlanta Race Report

Atlanta’s
Georgia Dome played host to a sold out crowd Saturday night for Round
Eight of the AMA Monster Energy Supercross. Josh Hansen and Kyle
Partridge were ready for a night of action on board their
Dodge/Sycuan Casino/Hart and Huntington/Bel-Ray Racing Kawasaki
bikes.

Josh
Hansen (#100) came out strong again this week placing fourth in Heat
1. Unfortunately, Hansen had some technical difficulties in the Main
Event. “I really enjoyed the track tonight at the Georgia Dome and
thought that the dirt was awesome. The track layout was good and I
thought I was ready to have a killer Main Event. I just came up
short on a jump and almost had a big crash. The bike stalled out on
me and I couldn’t get it started and that put us a down lap down.
It’s a shame. It is what it is. That’s part of racing and I
just need to forget about tonight and get ready for next weekend,”
said Hansen who finished the night in 15^th
position.

Kyle
Partridge (#83) rode well in Heat 2 but just missed earning a
transfer spot into the main, forcing him to ride for a spot in the
Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ). Partridge placed second in the LCQ and
earned a transfer into the Main Event. “The start of the day was
good. I rode solid in practice. I went into the Heat (race) and was
running sixth-or-seventh on the first lap and fell. I had to go to
the LCQ, made it out and then got ready for the Main. In the Main I
was running 14th-or-15th on the seventh-or-eighth lap and just came
up short on the rhythm section and the bike stuck. I rode the front
wheel off the next jump and had to jump off the bike (in the air) and
landed on my feet; luckily I rolled down to the ground. I knocked
the wind out of myself. The track was super hard tonight. The ruts
made it really technical and I just had a bad night. We’ll head to
St. Louis next weekend.” Partridge finished the night in 17^th
position.

After
eight rounds of Supercross action, Hansen sits in 11^th
place in the overall standings, with Partridge in 16^th.

The
next AMA Monster Energy Supercross Series race will be held this
Saturday, March 3rd at the Edward Jones Done in St. Louis.
