Press Release

Rutherford Shines in the Valley of the Sun

The second
round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series
launched out of the gate last Saturday night in Phoenix, AZ.  A sold out crowd witnessed more than
half a dozen Race Tech supported riders advance through the afternoon
timed-qualifying sessions into the night program.

            One rider noticeably missing from the
lineup was Rockwell/FirePoliceMX.com/Race Tech Lites class rider #758 Jason Potter.  Potter suffered a cracked clavicle
during the week prior to Phoenix and will sit out until Seattle.  Everyone at Race Tech would like to
wish Jason a speedy recovery.





            Coming off a solid 13th place finish at the Anaheim opener, Teddy Maier put his HyperX backed Race Tech Honda into the main
event during the first heat race of the evening. 





            In the second heat of the evening,
Bruce Rutherford charged from behind to put his Rockwell/FirePoliceMX.com/Race
Tech bike directly into the main event after a fierce 3 way battle for the
position.  Rutherford proved that his tough luck at A1 was
simply a bad night and showed he has what it takes to run up front with the
best SX Lites riders in the world.





            During the main event, Rutherford suffered from a poor start; while
Maier ended up on the ground in the first turn.  Both riders would start out 19th and 20th and begin to charge to the front
through an extremely competitive Lites field.  When the checkered flag flew,
Rutherford and Maier ended their race long battle in 13th and 15th respectively. 





            After 2 rounds, Teddy Maier sits just
3 points out of the top 10 in the series; while Rutherford looks to make up
ground after missing the main at the Anaheim opener.  Rutherford currently sits 18th in the series standings.





            Also in action over the weekend was
Race Tech’s Arenacross Ace;
Kurt McCabe.  Kurt took his
StormLakeHonda.com/Race Tech supported ride to a sweep of the Lites class at the Sears Center Arenacross in Chicago, Illinois.  He followed up his great rides in theLites class
with a 5th and a 2nd in the 450 division.





            Nolan Dickinson riding for 4-PR
Performance, a local Race Tech Center to the Chicagoland area took a win in the 65 class and a
2nd place in the 85
class at the Arenacross as well.





            Race Tech will look forward to round 3
of the AMA Supercross Series this weekend inside the famed
Dodger Stadium.  Joining the
Race Tech team is Novik Gloves
supported 450cc Class Privateer #143 Michael Horban Horban will
be spending the week testing with the Race Tech crew and will debut for the
Race Tech crew at Los
Angeles this
weekend.
