MotoSport.com TiLUBE Foremost Insurance Racing Race Report Round 6

RIVERSIDE, CA (February 13, 2012). A full house of 58,782
came out to Qualcomm Stadium for the last California round of the 2012
Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series. Once again, they saw some of the
best racing in years.

The duo of Nick Wey and fill-in rider Justin Sipes qualified 18^th and 23^rd, respectively under the perfect weather conditions in San Diego.

With
Wey in the first heat and Sipes in the second, the teammates avoided
competing against each other in the heat races for the second straight
week. Wey rode a solid heat race and qualified directly to evening’s
main event. Heat race two saw Sipes within qualifying position multiple
times, however a late race crash with another rider resulted in a trip
to the Last Chance Qualifier. Sipes got a great start and was leading
the final qualifying race until an aggressive pass by Jake Weimer
knocked him to the ground, abruptly ending his night.

“I
raced as hard I could and never expected Weimer to come in and take me
out like he did,” said a disappointed Sipes. “We were both in qualifying
position so an aggressive pass like that wasn’t really necessary. But
what’s done is done and next weekend I will be sure to not give an inch
to anyone.”

Wey lined up for the main event looking to improve on his season’s best result of 13^th.
As the pack of 20 riders charged into the first turn, Wey was pushed to
the far outside and shuffled toward the back of the pack. Determined to
work his way forward, he focused on stringing together fast and
consistent laps on the technical San Diego track.  At the halfway mark
he was in 11^th and looking good for a top-10 finish. Going into the 19^th
lap, he was still going strong and looking to capitalize on anyone’s
mistakes. A mistake by Kevin Windham came in the tricky whoop section,
allowing Wey to slip by and finish 10^th!       

“Overall
this weekend went well,” said Wey following the race. “My starts
weren’t great but I was able to find some fast lines and work my way
through the pack. I am going to work on a few things this week and try
to improve on this result. It’s definitely a step in the right
direction.”

Next week the series travels to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Tex. for the seventh round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series.  Be sure to stop by the MotoSport.com/TiLUBE/Foremost
