Delmont, PA – September 7, 2010 – The
penultimate round of the 2010 AMA Pro Motocross season at the legendary
Steel City Raceway in Delmont, PA, saw Rockstar Energy Suzuki’s Austin
Howell post his best results since his professional debut at Unadilla.
The young racer, who was competing at Loretta Lynn’s for an amateur
title just a few short weeks ago, piloted his fuel-injected RM-Z450 to
11-16 finishes to take 15th overall in the pro class. Austin has made
steady progress as he gains more experience racing as a professional,
and hopes to draw on that experience to post his best results at the
upcoming Pala race.


Austin’s teammate and fellow 450 rider Tommy Hahn suffered a crash
during practice before the race, leaving him with a separated shoulder.
Despite the injury, Tommy lined up at the start of moto 1, and launched
off the line inside the top five. Tommy ran as high as fourth before
the shoulder injury began to take its toll, and Tommy pulled off the
track around the halfway mark.


In the 250 class, Ian Trettel also took a shoulder injury in moto 1.
Trettel suffered the injury when he went down in turn one, but
continued to ride. A subsequent crash took him out of the race. Trettel
will be taking some time off the bike to recover, which means he will
be missing the final round of the 2010 season at Pala. "I just want
everyone to know that I’m OK," said Trettel. "I’m going to take a
couple of weeks off, then I’m going to get right into Supercross
training."


The final round of the 2010 season will take place on September 11 at
the Pala raceway in Pala, California. This will be the first national
held at the new facility, and is sure to be an exciting close to the
season.
