TEAM ROCKSTAR ENERGY SUZUKI Scores A Top Ten At A Wet San Diego Supercross

BREA, CA (February 21, 2011) –
Team Rockstar Energy Suzuki scored a top ten finish in the sixth
round of the 2011 AMA/FIM Supercross Lites West Championship season
Saturday night at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA. Ryan Morais rode
a strong race in the wet conditions, powering his Yoshimura-equipped
Suzuki RM-Z250 to a ninth-place finish. Teammate Martin Davalos had a
tough night, finishing 12th in the 15-lap lites main event.

After a delayed and shortened practice
and qualifying, Morais had a decent ride on his RM-Z250 in his heat
race, finishing fifth. A mid-pack start in the main put Morais tenth
after the second lap. An incident on lap two sent him to the back of
the pack, but Morais dug deep and his RM-Z powered him through the
pack to a ninth-place finish.

“I just didn’t get a good start in
the main,” said Morais. “After that, I was trying to make
something happen in the first couple laps and ended up crashing. I
got back up nearly last but I put my head down, felt pretty good, and
clicked off some pretty good laps on my Suzuki RM-Z and ended up
finishing ninth. I’m not real happy with the result but I felt I
actually rode pretty well. I plan on working hard over our break and
come back to Seattle strong.”

Martin Davalos started his day with a
decent time in practice and qualifying. After a problem in his heat
race, his Suzuki RM-Z250 powered him to a win in the last chance
qualifier. In the main, the Rockstar Energy Suzuki rider had a tough
start and ended up on the ground a couple times before crossing the
line in 12th place.

“I started out decent in practice,”
said Davalos. “But I made a couple mistakes in my heat race and
ended up having to go to the last chance qualifier, which I won. I
crashed twice in the main event, struggled a bit, and ended up 12th.
I’m going to go back home to Georgia over the break and try to get
ready for the last three rounds. I really want to win and I know I
can put my RM-Z on top of the box.”

The 2011 Rockstar Energy Suzuki team’s
next event is Saturday, February 26th, at the Georgia Dome in
Atlanta, GA. You can meet the Rockstar Energy Suzuki team riders on
Friday, February 25th, from 6 to 7 PM at Freewheeling Suzuki, 6408
Fairburn Road, Douglasville, GA.
