Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Dungey finishes 4th in SX Lites
Round 6 – AMA Supercross Series
Anaheim, California
Angel Stadium
Feb. 7, 2009
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Chad Reed carded his fifth-straight second-place finish this past Saturday night at round six of AMA Supercross at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. The two-time and defending AMA Supercross Champion battled the elements as well as the competition in the 20-lap Supercross main, thanks to rainy conditions, but still captured a podium finish and held on to the overall championship points lead. Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammate Mike Alessi had a rough night, crashing in the mud and coming from last place to finish 11th. Finally, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Michael Byrne did not race, due to an injury sustained in the off-season. Byrne plans to return to racing at next week’s round in San Diego.
In the Supercross Lites class, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey overcame a bad start to bring home a fourth-place finish. Although the young rider won his heat race, the 15-lap main event saw him go down in a turn-one pile-up. In spite of this, he remounted his RM-Z250 in last place and worked his way through the field to bring home an impressive fourth-place result.
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will race next at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California, on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2009.
