PHOENIX, AZ - While some people in Phoenix were glued to their
television watching the Arizona Cardinals play football against the New Orleans
Saints, Chase Field was packed with Supercross fans for the second round of the
AMA Monster Energy Supercross Series.
TiLUBE-Brown Motorsports rider Nick Wey started the
day off by qualifying 14th out of the 48 riders, earning him a great position
for the night’s heat race. Wey was awarded 7th gate pick in the first
heat race.
When the gate dropped for the first Supercross class heat race, Wey powered off
the line with a good start and found himself in 6th after the first lap. With
steady and consistent lap times Wey would qualify 7th for the main event.
In the Supercross main event, engines revved as the 30 second board dropped and
the gate fell. As the pack rounded the first turn Wey was in
18th place and looking to better his position. When the first lap came
to an end, Wey was still back in the pack riding in 18th position. For the next
few laps, Wey rode smart and began to make passes on the very slippery Phoenix
dirt. At the half way point Wey was in 13th. With a large gap to 12th Wey
continued to ride smooth and steady to the finish in 13th.
Wey commented after the race “I was hopping for
a better start to make things easier on myself. However, with the start I had
and the slippery track conditions here in Phoenix I was focusing on smart
steady consistent laps.”
Next weekend the series returns to Anaheim, CA and Angel Stadium for the third
round of the AMA Monster Energy Supercross Series. Be sure to stop by the TiLUBE-Brown Motorsports truck to show your support and to
have your picture taken with Nick Wey from 12:30 pm – 5:30 pm. See you
there!
