PODIUM FINISH FOR JASON ANDERSON IN ST. LOUIS FOR ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA FACTORY RACING!
MARTIN DAVALOS UNABLE TO RACE DUE TO ILLNESS
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jason Anderson landed back on the podium at St. Louis’ Edward Jones Dome on Saturday for the 13th round of the 2015 Supercross series. After an exciting race, Anderson moves from eighth to sixth overall in 450SX rider point standings. Teammate Martin Davalos was unable to race due to illness.
Jason Anderson found his rhythm again and stayed aggressive in St. Louis. He got caught up behind a fallen rider in the first turn of his heat, but continued to fight and finished fourth to transfer directly to the main. In the main, Anderson got a sixth-place start and quickly navigated his Husqvarna FC 450 into the third-place spot. He continued to charge and made an impressive pass for second mid-way through the race. After a multi-lap battle, he eventually conceded the second-place spot to another rider and finished third. This was his first podium finish since the season opener in Anaheim.
“I’m going in the right direction,” said Anderson. “I feel like I took 12 races too long, but I got a podium and I’m pumped. I’m not used to riding up front because it’s taken me awhile to do it, but I felt good up there. I’m just happy to get my Husqvarna up there on the podium and I’m pumped for my team. The track was mellow but the transitions were a little technical. All-in-all I felt good, and this is something that we definitely needed to go into the weekend off.”
Munn Racing’s Ben Lamay finished 15th in the 450 class aboard his Husqvarna FC 450.
