ROCKSTAR ENERGY RACING TEAMS CELEBRATE SPIRITED SEASON-OPENING SUPERCROSS RACES AT ANAHEIM

Rockstar’s
Jason Anderson & Ryan Sipes capture top-10 finishes in Supercross
Lites

ANAHEIM,
CA (January
9, 2012) – This past
weekend saw the Rockstar Energy Racing teams put in some truly
impressive performances at the season-opening round of the 2012
AMA/FIM Supercross Championship Series at Angel Stadium in Anaheim,
CA, on Saturday night. Both the Rockstar Energy Racing and Star Valli
Yamaha teams walked away from the exciting event with top-10
Supercross Lites finishes under their respective belts.

For
Rockstar Energy Racing, the night was bittersweet in Supercross
Lites. Although rider Martin Davalos celebrated an impressive win in
his heat race, he experienced some issues during the main event and
dropped out of the fray. Rockstar Energy Racing teammate Jason
Anderson, however, celebrated a very consistent evening, finishing
seventh in his heat race and seventh in the 15-lap Supercross Lites
main event.

“This
was the first race of the season, so nerves were a little high,”
said Anderson. “But I had some good practice sessions. Then my heat
race had a bunch of pile-ups, but I ended up doing pretty good and I
made it to the main. The gate-drop at the start of the main was a
little delayed and I struggled with that, but I came back and got
seventh, so it was a decent night overall.”

Star
Valli Yamaha celebrated a well-earned fifth-place finish in the
Supercross Lites main event, thanks to rider Ryan Sipes. Said Sipes
of his performance, “I started the day out great in practice but in
my heat race, I went down. I got up last and had to go to the LCQ
but, thankfully, I made it through. In the main, I couldn’t find my
rhythm so we’ll take the points from fifth place tonight and come
back next week at Phoenix and try to win it. I got my first-ever
podium there, so I’m looking forward to that race.”

Meanwhile,
Star Valli Yamaha teammate Nico Izzi had a strong showing in his heat
race with a third-place finish and came in 12^th
in the Supercross Lites main, while Gareth Swanepoel struggled in his
heat races and didn’t race the main event. In the Supercross class,
Star Valli Yamaha’s Ryan Morais put in a valiant effort, finishing
fifth in his heat race and 15^th
in the main, while teammate Austin Stroupe suffered a get-off in his
heat race and didn’t make the main.

Also
racing for Rockstar Energy in the premier Supercross class was Brett
Metcalfe, who brought home an impressive sixth-place finish in his
heat race and then followed that up with a solid 11^th-place
result in the main event. Rockstar counterpart Nick Wey struggled in
his heat races and did not race in the main event.

All the
Rockstar Energy Racing teams are looking forward to their next event,
the second round of the 2012 AMA/FIM Supercross Championship on
Saturday, January 14th, at Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ.
