TiLUBE Racing Finishes Last Race of the Season with Robert Kiniry in 20th Place





First Lap Crash with Another Rider Sends Kiniry Back to the Pits Early


The TiLUBE Racing Team wrapped up a challenging 2011 season at
the final round of the Monster Energy Supercross in Las Vegas, Nevada
in front of a sold out audience of over 39,000 fans at the Sam Boyd
Stadium. The team was tested throughout the season with multiple rider
injuries during the seventeen rounds but nothing could stop their
determination to finish what they started.



The
TiLUBE Racing team backed by Foremost Insurance had bigger expectations
for the Las Vegas round but a first lap crash in the main event ended
any hopes of a strong finish for Kiniry
.
The track was dry and slick and Kiniry and another rider got tangled up
in the whoops section. Kiniry's bike cart wheeled a few times and was
too damaged for him to complete the race. He headed back to the pits
and ended up with a 20th overall since he did complete one lap before the crash.



The day started out with Robert Kiniry qualifying in 19th with his lap time of 1.05.863 seconds and Cole Siebler qualifying in 25th with his time of 1.07.211 seconds.



Robert Kiniry (#62) transferred directly from his heat to the main event with his 9th place finish. Cole Siebler (#171) did not qualify for the main event with an 11th place finish in the same heat race. Despite a heroic effort in the Last Chance Qualifer, Siebler's finish of 6th overall would not be enough to get him into the main event.



"Well
we certainly had our share of challenges this season. The primary
challenge was keeping healthy riders on bikes in one of the most
competitive supercross seasons ever. We managed to do that and I want
to thank all the riders for their amazing efforts this season. In all
we worked with six riders - Matt Boni, Matt Goerke, Manuel Rivas, Cody
Gilmore, Robert Kiniry and Cole Siebler. I also want to thank TiLUBE,
Foremost Insurance and Babbitts Online for their total support. Without
them we would not have been able to compete at the level we did and
make all the rounds. 2011 is in the books and we are already planning
to come back next season even stronger,"
commented Tony Wenck, TiLUBE Racing team manager.



After
seventeen rounds of the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross Series the
TiLUBE Racing team ended up with four riders in the final overall
standings with Matt Boni in 21st place, Robert Kiniry in 30th place, Matt Goerke in 32nd place and Cole Siebler in 35th place overall.
