Taddy Blazusiak wins another thrilling EnduroCross in Everett Washington!

Geoff
Aaron provided a great challenge to take second!

Everett,
WA (September 11, 2010) – A
sold out crowd filled the Comcast Arena in Everett Washington for round four of
the GEICO AMA EnduroCross series presented by E3 Sparkplugs.   This
was the first ever EnduroCross event in the Pacific Northwest and the riders
put on an amazing show that kept the fans on their feet for most of the
evening.  Taddy proved to be an animal on a motorcycle once again as he
launched himself off the track immediately after taking the Girardi Wealth
Management Holeshot award, which seemingly gave all of the other riders a
chance to take the top spot on the podium and it appeared that Geoff Aaron was
going to do just that.  But Taddy slowly closed in on the ten time Trials
champion and took the lead on the seventh of ten laps.  Aaron put up a
good fight but ultimately lost touch and settled for second ahead of Gary
Sutherlin. 

The day
started with the Pioneer Hot Laps, which puts the riders on the track one at a
time to determine the gate picks for the evenings heat races and Geoff Aaron,
the GEICO backed KTM rider set the fastest time.  Zip Ty Husqvarna backed
Cory Graffunder took second followed by Blazusiak on the Factory KTM.  Aaron
earned a $500 bonus from Rekluse clutch by being the fastest rider using their
auto clutch. 

Aaron,
Blazusiak and Graffunder were the heat race winners, which gave them the
critical first picks on the starting gate.  After Blazusiak launched off
the track and re-entered around mid-pack, it took him less than a lap to work
through a lot of carnage and get back to second place but Aaron looked to
already have a safe lead.  FMF KTM’s Mike Brown was holding third
position and looked set for his first EnduroCross podium of the season but a
trip over the bars on the seventh lap pushed him out of contention.  Gary
Sutherlin, the Montana native that was Ricky Dietrich’s mechanic three
years ago and decided to get back into racing himself has steadily qualified
for all four main events this season and took a hard earned third place on the
podium.  Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Justin Soule took fourth position
ahead of Graffunder.  Lucas Oil backed Colton Haaker took sixth, Brown was
seventh and Kyle Redmond was eighth.  Eighteen year old Keith Sweeten
finished ninth ahead of Kevin Rookstool and Jamie Lanza. 

In the
support classes, Dennis Sweeten won the Vet class to kick off the evening
activities and GEICO backed Matt Crouch won the open amateur class. 
Crouch then came back later in the evening to win the Dirt Rider magazine Dash
for Cash event that combines the top finishers in the amateur classes.
