Rockstar Energy Suzuki Ends the 2010 Supercross Season with a Solid Performance in Las Vegas



Las Vegas, NV – May 11th, 2010 –
The 2010 AMA/FIM Supercross
series came to a close Saturday night with a spectacular display of
racing action at Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium. The Rockstar Energy
Suzuki team came through with a solid finish to a rollercoaster season,
with Tommy Hahn cementing his status as the top pro privateer in the
450 class. “Taking the top privateer award was the high point of the
weekend for me,” said Hahn. “It’s back to the drawing board now, and
hopefully I can do even better next season!”


Lites class teammates Ryan Morais and Hunter Hewitt competed in the
annual East/West Shootout, the final Lites race of the year that pits
the Eastern and Western division Lites riders against one another, and
they put in some of their best rides all year. Ryan Morais suffered
some minor injuries to his shoulder and hip in a crash during practice,
but he continued to race hard and placed 3rd in his heat, and 9th in
the main despite his injuries.

Meanwhile, Hunter Hewitt got
off to a great start in both his heat race and the main event aboard
his Suzuki RM-Z250. “My starts were dialed-in all weekend,” said
Hewitt. “I spent a lot of hours working on them at the practice track,
and getting the holeshot was all I was thinking about.” Hunter went on
to take sixth in his heat race, and took twelfth in the main. “I have
to thank the Rockstar Energy Suzuki team for everything they’ve done
this year. Suzukis are just the best motorcycles out there!”


Now that the Supercross season is over, the focus shifts to the
outdoors, slated to kick off at Hangtown in Sacramento, CA, on May
22nd. The team has been doing a lot of testing, and the riders have
been putting in plenty of time at the practice track in order to
prepare for the upcoming Motocross season. For the 2010 season, Tommy
Hahn will be joined by teammate Jake Moss in the 450 class, while Ryan
Morais, Blake Baggett, and Hunter Hewitt will all be competing in the
Lites class aboard the RM-Z250. “We’ve done a lot of testing already,
and we still have a lot more to do between now and the start of the
season,” said Team Manager Bill Keefe. “We’re really looking forward to
racing the Outdoors this year.”




Tommy Hahn finished 9th in Las Vegas. He earned the "Top Privateer"
award for finishing ahead of all the other privateers in the overall
results.



Ryan Morais finished 9th in the East-West Lites Shootout in Las Vegas,
fighting some injuries sustained during practice on Saturday.
