TEAM ROCKSTAR ENERGY SUZUKI Nabs A Top Ten At Budds Creek Motocross

Mechanicsville, MD (June 18, 2011) –
Team Rockstar Energy Suzuki carded a top-ten finish at the fourth
round of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championship on Saturday at the
Budds Creek National in Mechanicsville, MD. Martin Davalos put the
awesome power of his Yoshimura-equipped Suzuki RM-Z250 to the test in
a battle to claim a ninth-place overall finish in the 250 class.
Teammate Nick Paluzzi crossed the line 15th overall and Jason
Anderson had a tough day with a DNF (did not finish) in both motos.

Davalos started the day with a strong
run in the morning timed practice sessions, ending up seventh
fastest. In the first moto, Davalos had a decent start and quickly
slotted his RM-Z into ninth. He pushed hard ‘til the end and
crossed the line for a tenth-place finish. In moto two, he was caught
up in a first turn pile-up and ended up starting from the back.
Davalos charged his Suzuki hard through the pack and was able to work
his way across the line for tenth. The ten-ten moto finishes were
good enough to score him a ninth-place overall result.

“My Budds Creek weekend was decent
overall,” said Davalos. “The first moto I was a little tight and
wasn’t really able to make a move and just kind of got a top- ten
start and stayed there. The second moto I got a decent jump on my
Suzuki, but I got caught up in a first turn crash. I was dead last by
the time I was able to get back going. I was able to ride strong the
whole moto. My RM-Z250 was running great and I felt pretty good and
was able to work up to tenth. The ten-ten gave me ninth overall,
which is a top-ten weekend, but I was definitely looking for a better
result. Now, we’re coming to Lakewood and that’s my favorite
track of the whole series. It reminds me of home because the altitude
is pretty high. I’m looking forward to going there and getting some
good starts and getting up front. I’ve got the speed; I just need
to keep out of trouble.”

The Rockstar Energy Suzuki team’s
next event is the fifth round of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross
Championship on Saturday, June 25th, at the Thunder Valley National
in Lakewood, CO. You can meet the Rockstar Energy Suzuki riders on
Friday, June 24th, from 5 to 6 PM, at Fay Myers Motorcycle World,
9700 East Arapahoe Road, Greenwood Village, CO.
