Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Dungey podiums in Anaheim SX Lites
Round 1 – AMA Supercross Series
Anaheim, CA
Angel Stadium
Jan. 3, 2009
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Chad Reed had an impressive 2009 AMA Supercross season debut at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium in California, on Saturday night. The two-time and defending AMA Supercross champion got a good start on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 and was battling for the lead when he suffered a nasty crash. The Australian rallied and rejoined the race, bringing home a third-place finish. Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammate Mike Alessi got caught up in an early-race pile-up, but managed to get back into the fray and finished in 11th position. Finally, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Michael Byrne did not race, due to an injury sustained in the off-season. He hopes to be back racing as soon as possible.
In the Supercross Lites class, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey also started the 2009 season with a podium finish. Although Dungey suffered a get-off in his heat race, he came back and won the evening’s LCQ. Following that, Dungey charged hard on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z250 in the SX Lites main to bring home an impressive third-place finish.
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will race next at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2009.
