TEAM ROCKSTAR ENERGY SUZUKI Scores Two Top Tens In Las Vegas Final Lites Supercross Round

LAS VEGAS, NV –
Team Rockstar Energy Suzuki claimed two top-ten finishes at the final
round of the 2011 AMA/FIM Supercross Lites East and West
Championships Saturday night at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. In
the west 15-lap lites main event, Ryan Morais used the awesome power
of his Yoshimura-equipped Suzuki RM-Z250 in front of a capacity crowd
of 39,506 fans to claim a seventh-place finish, as teammate Martin
Davalos followed close behind in ninth. In the east main, Christopher
Gosselaar ran as high as tenth but ended up crossing the line in
eleventh.

Following tradition, the Vegas round
also played host to the annual Davey Coombs, Sr. East/West Shootout,
where Martin Davalos piloted his Suzuki to a fifth-place finish after
running as high as second. Morais suffered from a bad start but was
able to work his RM-Z way up to ninth before going down and falling
back to eventually cross the line in 15th. Gosselaar fell just short
of qualifying for the shootout and did not race.

“Overall, my weekend in Vegas went
all right,” said Morais. “No heat race and going straight to the
main event was a little different, but I got a good jump at the start
of the main but then I pushed my front end out in the first turn and
ended up with a bad start. I was able to work my Suzuki up to seventh
and felt I was riding really well. I got up to the front of the pack
and we were all really close from about third back – Overall a good
race. In the shootout, I suffered from another bad start and worked
my way up to ninth but came up on the rear wheel of someone and ended
up going down and finished up 15th. I’m glad to be healthy and now
I’ll get ready for outdoors and look forward to a new season and
new beginning. I want to thank my Rockstar Energy Suzuki team and my
mechanic, Rene – My RM-Z250 has been great all year and I just want
to thank them for all they do.”

“My weekend in Vegas was pretty
good,” said Davalos. “I got a decent start in the west main, but
I struggled a little and could only just ride around and got ninth. I
got a great start on my RM-Z in the shootout and ran second for a
little bit and thought I could get a podium, but the guys right
behind me were able to get around me and I ended up with fifth. I’m
really looking forward to the outdoors. My Suzuki is working great
and my Rockstar Energy team is doing a lot of testing. There are 12
rounds of racing and a lot of motos and I’m looking forward to
doing good for the team.”

The Rockstar Energy Suzuki team’s
next event is the first round of the 2011 AMA Pro 250 Motocross
Championship on Saturday, May 21st, at Hangtown in Sacramento, CA.
You can meet the Rockstar Energy Suzuki riders on Friday, May 20th,
from 6 to 7 PM, at Professional Cycle Parts, 5800 Florin Road in
