Suzuki City Nitro Circus Recap – Jacksonville, FL


Steven Clarke
and Matt Lemoine finish inside the top ten for second consecutive week
.


Biloxi, MS -- Round 6 of the
eight-race AMA Supercross Eastern Regional AMA Supercross Lites Series
was held at the Jacksonville, Florida Municipal Stadium.


The first Lites Heat Race saw
Steven Clarke grab the holeshot.  A slight miscue
caused Clarke to lose the front end and crash.  He
quickly remounted and finished the moto in 10th – one
position shy of transferring to the main event.  


In the
LCQ, Clarke came out of the gate in 5th.  He
charged through the pack and on the last lap moved into third place.   Clark grabbed 2nd place and a transfer to
the main event on the last turn of the last lap.


Matt Lemoine fought a stomach
virus throughout the day and was unsure if he would be able to compete.  A tough Lemoine lined up for Heat Race # 2 in the
Lites division and pulled off a mid-pack start.  By
the end of the moto,. he had secured a 6th place transfer
spot to the main event.


In the
main event, both Clarke and Lemoine started inside the top 10.   Both riders had minor mishaps during the event but
were able to maintain top ten status with Lemoine finishing 8th
and Clarke finishing 9th overall.   This
is the second consecutive week that the Team Suzuki City Nitro Circus
riders have finished inside the top ten.


Team owner, Michael Nasakaitis reflected on the evening, “I
was really pleased with how the guys rode tonight.   Matt
showed a lot of heart – we weren’t even sure if he would be able to
race and to finish the night with a top ten shows his determination.  Steven put in some great rides tonight as well.  Having to go to the LCQ is never easy – so to come
back with a top ten finish is great!”


The team will enjoy a well-deserved rest next weekend when the
series takes a break to celebrate the Easter holiday.  The
next event will be held on
Saturday, April 10th
at Houston’s Reliant Stadium.
