Round two of the AMA Supercross FIM Championship held
at Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ brought a nearly sold out
crowd and perfect temperatures.
MDK KTM Factory rider, Nick Wey, was in Heat #2 of the
Supercross class. He got a good jump but was pushed out
causing him to come around the first turn in last position.
He charged his way up trying to pass where he could on
the fast track. By the eighth and final lap he had moved
into 10th just one spot shy of qualifying. Forced to go to the
last chance, Wey, nailed the holeshot and lead the race
from start to finish earning a spot in the main.
In the Supercross class main, Wey had a poor gate pick
and had to choose an outside line. As the riders took off he
was pushed way out and replayed the last place start he
had earlier in his Heat. He rode hard and stayed strong
trying to move up on the pack. By lap four he had passed a
few riders and was riding in 16th. The track was fast and
each rider was giving it his all. Wey spent the majority of
the moto battling with Davi Millsaps as they continued to
pass back and forth. At the end of the race, Wey had
closed in on the pack ahead of him but was not able to
move past. He ended in 16th for the night. ktmpress.com
