TEAM ROCKSTAR ENERGY SUZUKI Claims A Top Ten At Freestone Motocross


WORTHAM, TX (May 31, 2011)
Team Rockstar Energy Suzuki grabbed a top-ten finish at the second
round of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championship on Saturday at the
Rockstar Energy Freestone National in Wortham, TX. Martin Davalos
took advantage of the awesome power of his Yoshimura-equipped Suzuki
RM-Z250 to claim a sixth-place overall finish in the 250 class.
Teammates Nick Paluzzi and Jason Anderson crossed the line in 16th
and 21st place, respectively. Hunter Hewitt did not race.



Davalos started his day scoring tenth
fastest in the morning timed practice sessions. In the first moto, he
was caught up in a first turn pile-up and ended up starting from the
back. Davalos charged hard through the pack on his RM-Z and was able
to work his way up to cross the line in tenth. In moto two, Davalos
had a decent start and was ninth at the end of the first lap. By the
end, he was able to grab two more positions for seventh place, which
was good enough to score him a sixth-place overall result.



“My weekend in Texas was pretty
good,” said Davalos. “The first moto I had some bad luck and got
caught up in a first turn pile-up. I got up in about 38th and was
able to push really hard on my Suzuki and get a tenth. The second
moto was really hot and I got off around seventh or eighth and was
able to finish seventh, which gave me a sixth overall. I’m
definitely happy with that, especially with the problem in the first
moto. My Rockstar Energy Suzuki team did a great job and my Suzuki
RM-Z250 really worked awesome. We have a weekend off and I’m gonna
work on a few things and go to High Point and get up there with the
front guys. I just need to get better starts to put myself in a
better position.”



The Rockstar Energy Suzuki team’s
next event is the third round of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross
Championship on Saturday, June 11th, at the Rockstar Energy High
Point National in Mt. Morris, PA.
