Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Alessi 4th in SX & Izzi 3rd in SX LItes
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Chad Reed WON his SECOND, consecutive AMA Supercross race, thanks to a Daytona International Speedway victory in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Saturday night! This result means the two-time, defending AMA Supercross Champion recaptured the overall points lead in the title chase. Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing teammate Mike Alessi led several laps in the 20-lap main before finishing an impressive fourth place. Unfortunately, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Michael Byrne was taken out in a turn-one melee and the Australian rider was unable to finish the race.
In the Supercross Lites class, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Nico Izzi continues to battle for the title by picking up another podium finish. The young rider won his qualifying heat race and then overcame a rough start to finish on the podium. Izzi worked his way through the field to bring home third place. Currently, he is in second place in the overall championship points chase.
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will race next at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Saturday, March 14, 2009.
