MotoSport.com/TiLUBE/Foremost Insurance SX Round 17 Race Report

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (May 8, 2012) – A sold out crowd filled Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas for the 17^th
and final round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series this past
weekend. Nick Wey, Chris Blose and Justin Sipes of the
MotoSport.com/TiLUBE/Foremost Insurance team arrived heathy and ready to
put in one last top finish.

The
design of Sam Boyd Stadium allows for changes to be made to the
traditional supercross track layout, presenting riders and fans with
longer lap times, an outside-the-stadium start and high speeds. The
afternoon’s qualifing session went well for the team with Wey securing
seventh place, Blose in 20^th and Sipes in 21^st. 

Blose
was the lone team rider in the first heat race and with a good start
and steady laps; he qualified directly to the main event. The second
heat race also went according to plan as both Sipes and Wey qualified
directly to the main event. This marked the second time in only three
attempts that the MotoSport.com/TiLUBE/Foremost Insurance team would
have all three riders lined up for the main event.

The
trio of Wey, Blose and Sipes were ready to let it all hang out and see
what they could do in the final Supercross race of the season. With the
pack roaring into the stadium at over 50 mph, all three riders were
positioned toward the back of the pack. Fortunately, the extended lap
times afforded the riders a little extra time to improve their
positions. At the half way mark, they were running in 13^th (Wey), 14^th (Blose) and 15^th (Sipes). When the checkered flag waved, Wey had worked his way up to 10^th position, Sipes had moved up to 12^th and Blose up to 13^th.

“I
had some good speed out there and I think that showed with my seventh
place qualifying position,” said Wey. “My starts have been a little off
all season and while I worked hard to improve them, I never got them to
where I wanted them to be. But another top 10 is always good. I know
what to work on for 2013 and hope to be able to continue to build the
great team we have here.”

“Transferring
straight to the main event was exactly what I was looking for tonight,”
said Sipes. “I felt good in the heat race but in the main I wasn’t able
to get a good flow going. All-in-all I’m happy with a 12^th place finish tonight and 20^th overall in the points.”

“I
really like this race and after my result here last year I had pretty
high expectations,” said Blose. “I felt like I rode well in the main,
just did not get the start I was looking for. This season was tough but
I’m glad the team stuck by me all year. I can’t thank them enough.”
