Ryan Dungey finally fourth at Reliant Park

Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey will be taking off a few
months as the next and final round of the class will not be
held until late April. In the weekend’s race, young Dungey
was again extraordinarily fast in practice and in his heat race,
where he took the win. In the 15-lap main, Dungey got the
holeshot and was battling for the lead when he crashed twice.
In spite of this, he still charged hard on his Rockstar Makita
Suzuki RM-Z250 to bring home a strong fourth-place finish.

“This weekend started out pretty good. We were fastest in
the first practice session and then I won my heat race. In the
main, I got a great start on the Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-
Z250 and got the holeshot. I got passed but then I took over
the lead again. Then, I made a little mistake and went down.
I tried to push and catch those guys in front and went down
again. At that point, I just put my head down and tried to get
as many points as possible. I admit I’m a little disappointed
with how things have gone in these last few races. But we’re
still in the hunt for the championship and that’s what counts.
We have a lot of time between now and the last round in
Seattle, so I’m just going to focus on doing my program and
being positive.” full story on teamsuzuki.com
