Hart and Huntington San Diego Race Recap

The last West Coast stop of AMA Monster Energy Supercross before it
heads East for the next eight rounds was held Saturday at Qualcomm
Stadium in San Diego. The Dodge/Hart and Huntington/Sycuan
Casino/Bel-Ray Supercross Racing team continued its streak of Main Event
appearances with both active riders – Josh Hansen and Kyle Partridge –
competing in the Main Event.


Josh Hansen bounced back from last week’s race in a big way claiming
his first top five finish of the season, placing 5th place in the Main
Event.  Kyle Partridge had an impressive qualifying heat, finishing
fourth and qualifying for the Main Event for the fifth consecutive
week.  Partridge finished the Main event in 19th position.  Both riders
currently rank in the top 20 in overall standings with Hansen 10th and
Partridge 18th.   The injured Ivan Tedesco remains in 17th position.


The next AMA Monster Energy Supercross Series race will be held this
Saturday, February 18th at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington/Dallas, TX.


Quotes from the Team:


Josh Hansen, #100 (Placed 5th):  “The
weekend started off great for the Dodge/Sycuan Casino/Hart and
Huntington/Bel-Ray Racing Kawasaki.  I had fast laps times for most of
the day.  I struggled through the whoops; I think everybody did.  The
whoops were gnarly.  The track gave the riders something to separate
themselves this weekend with how it was designed.  The track flowed
which is awesome.  If the track can’t be technically gnarly at least it
can flow and that’s a good thing.”


“I felt like my team worked well together all weekend.  We got things
right with the bike and it showed tonight.  I ended up fifth in the
Main.  I got a bad start and worked my way up.  I came from way back and
just dug my heels in and rode as hard as I could.  I worked into the
top-10 by Lap 10 and kept charging.  It feels great to come out of San
Diego with a top-five finish.  I’m stoked.  It was a great weekend for
sure.”


Kyle Partridge, #83 (Placed 19th): “My
Heat Race was good and I finished fourth.  I went into the Main Event
and started next to James (Stewart) but got hit once the gate dropped
and was 20th on the first lap.  I worked my way up to 15th but put the
bike down on lap seven and went a lap down.  Just a tough way to end
what looked to be a promising night show for us.”


Carey Hart, Owner, Dodge/Sycuan Casino/Hart and Huntington/Bel-Ray Racing Team: “We
had a great night with this Dodge/Sycuan Casino/Hart and
Huntington/Bel-Ray Racing Kawasaki team.  We started the day with some
solid practices and both riders were fast going into the night show. 
Both Hanny (Josh Hansen) and Kyle (Partridge) transferred into the Main
and rode great in the Heat races.


“In the Main there was a lot of carnage going on.  Both the guys got a
rough jump out of the gate but kept their heads down and rode hard. 
Hanny was great.  To have the start that he did and work his way up into
a top-five finish is rad.  It’s great to see both guys in the Main
Event again this weekend.”


The San Diego Supercross Kickoff Party took place on Friday at Sycuan
Casino. Fans were treated to an exclusive autograph signing session
from the Dodge/ Sycuan Casino/Hart and Huntington/ Bel-Ray Racing team,
Carey Hart, and Sabina Kelley. This was followed by live performances
from Unwritten Law and Big B.
