Spokane, Wash. (June 10, 2009) – MotoConcepts Racing (MCRMX) completed round three of the AMA Lucas Oil Motocross Championship in Freestone, TX this past weekend with mixed results. MCRMX placed riders in the top ten, top twenty and top thirty in the 450 class.
Weston Peick
(pronounced pike) led the way for MCRMX with his second 9th place
overall finish, of the young series. Peick, who joined MCRMX after a
stellar performance at Glen Helen, finished the first moto in
9th. In moto two the California native rode with the top ten
the entire race and finished 11th. Anyone watching number 631
in Texas was sure to notice Peick’s hard nose riding style and tireless pursuit
of anyone he trails. After three rounds of racing, Peick sits in
14th overall for the season.
“Weston had
another impressive weekend and is quickly getting some attention out there,”
stated Team Manager Steve Lamson.
Jeff Alessi,
who has moved up from the 250 West Supercross class to the 450 this summer, had
a tough first moto injuring his foot and finished 29th. Number
801 got things turned around in moto two though and finished 15th for
a 20th overall on the day. MCRMX was sad to learn about the
injury this week to Jeff’s brother and point’s leader Mike Alessi. Our
thoughts go out to the Alessi family for a speedy recovery.
Kentucky
native Tyler Bowers had a strong start to the day and qualified 16th
overall. Unfortunately the motos were not as kind and Bowers posted a
23rd in moto one and a 30th in moto two, for a
30th overall. Number 911 will look to get back on track this
weekend at High Point.
Vince Friese,
the lone 250 rider for MCRMX, also had a tough event and will look to get back
in the top 20 this coming weekend at High Point. Number 719 finished
24th and 28th respectively in the motos, for
28th overall on the day.
