Kurt Caselli Wins WORCS Championship

Mike
Brown Wins Moto

SURPRISE,
Ariz. – Factory FMF/KTM rider Kurt Caselli clinched his third
career WORCS Championship title in the first of two motos at the
final round of the WORCS held at Speed World Motorsport Park while
his teammate, Mike Brown, also celebrated by taking the moto win.

Caselli
had a 41 point lead heading into the final round and only had to
finish the race in order to secure the championship. “I knew I just
needed to finish so I concentrated on riding a smooth and consistent
race to maintain my pace throughout the moto and cruise to the
finish,” remarked Caselli.

Caselli
started poorly and had to work his way up through the pack. By
mid-race he had moved up into the top five and was able to maintain
his position throughout the duration of the race. He eventually
finished the moto in 4^th
position to earn his championship. Meanwhile, Brown had a great start
and hopped into the lead early. He went on to take the moto win and
further increase his points to help secure 2^nd
in the point standings.

This
championship marks Caselli’s third career WORCS Championship and
makes him he first rider in WORCS history to earn three
championships. This also marks the second championship won by Caselli
this season as he also wrapped up the 2011 AMA National Hare &
Hound Championship earlier this year.

“I am
very excited to win this championship,” remarked Caselli. “I have
worked very hard this year to defend my title and it is a great
feeling to come out on top. Thanks to everyone who helped support me
this year. I couldn’t do it without their help.”

Also,
winning a championship was RPM/KTM’s Kacy Martinez. The reigning
Women’s WORCS Champion worked hard all season to defend her WORCS
title and was finally able to secure the title in the Women’s class
after taking the win in today’s moto.

“Everyone
always says it’s harder to defend a title than to win your first
and it definitely was,” remarked Martinez. “I am glad that Kurt
(Caselli) and I were both able to defend our titles and put another
championship in the record books.”
