JDR/J-Star/KTM Race Report – Seattle Supercross

Seattle,
WA – The JDR/J-Star/KTM ride of Matt Moss came into Seattle with a lot
of confidence based on his podium finish at the previous round. Despite
his high confidence, his night would be cut short after a crash early in
the race caused him to finish the night in 17th.

Moss
had a great start to his heat race nearly grabbing the holeshot before
getting edged out by Dean Wilson. Martin Davalos was able to get around
him on the second corner which put Moss back into 3rd. For the remaining
laps Moss received heavy pressure from series point leader Eli Tomac.
For five laps he was able to hold him off and secure 3rd place and a
great gate pick for the main event.

In the main event,
Moss earned a mid-pack start and was sitting in 10th place after the
first lap. A lap later he suffered a crash which cost him almost a full
lap before he was able to recover. He was able to make up a few
positions to finish 17th for the night.

“Unfortunately I
suffered a bad crash early in the race. Luckily I was to recover
without injury and finish the race. I wasn’t able to salvage too many
points but every one counts so I am glad I was able to pick off a few
people,” stated Moss.
