MDK KTM Factory rider, Nick Wey, continued his streak of top ten finishes with
a 9th overall at the 7th round of the AMA Supercross Series at Reliant Stadium.
MDK KTM Factory rider Nick Wey started mid-pack in his heat and worked his
way up into 8th to transfer to the main.
In the Supercross main event Wey got a good start coming around the first
turn inside the top ten. By the end of the first lap he was in 8th. For the
remainder of the race he battled with riders for the 7th place position. He rode
a smooth and consistent race to finish within the top ten, where he has been
for the majority of the season. At the end of the race Wey was able to hold on
to 9th place overall and he now currently sits 8th in overall series points.
Both MDK KTM Lites riders, Billy Laninovich and Justin Brayton, were lined up
for Heat #2 of the Lites Supercross class.
The teammates took off at the gate drop and came side by side around the
first turn. They stayed together as they rounded the track for the first lap.
Unfortunately they tangled together with a couple other riders near the end of
the first lap. Laninovich remounted a lap down but Brayton was unable to
finish due to an injured wrist he suffered in the crash.
In the LCQ, Laninovich got out front and led the race to take the win and
qualify to the main event. Brayton was forced to sit out the rest of the evening
due to the wrist injury from the Heat race crash (the severity of the injury is
undetermined at this time).
In the Supercross Lites Main Billy Laninovich came around last on the start and
was forced to work his way through the pack to get up front where he
belongs. In a hard fought battle he eventually worked his way into 13th for the
night as the checkered flag dropped. ktmpress.com
