Spokane , Wash. (June 17, 2009) – MotoConcepts Racing (MCRMX) completed round four of the AMA Lucas Oil Motocross Championship in Mt. Morris, PA this past weekend with two riders finishing in the top 20 overall.

Jeff Alessi led the way for MCRMX with a solid day aboard his CRF450.  After qualifying an impressive 7 ^th overall, number 801 went out and had his best moto of the young season, finishing 9 ^th in moto one.  The California native followed that up with a great start in moto two, where he ran in second place and in the top five for a number of laps.  A broken brake lever prevented Alessi from another top ten and he had to settle for 14 ^th in moto two.  For the day Alessi finished 11 ^th overall and is now in 20 ^th overall.

“Jeff really showed some speed this past weekend,” stated Team Manager Steve Lamson.  “He was strong in qualifying and had a great start in moto two.  We expect him to continue to have these types of races and be in the top ten.”

Teammate Weston Peick did not share in the same fortune as Alessi.  Engine problems kept Peick from the success he has experienced at previous races.  Number 631 finished 36 ^th overall for the day, but still sits in 16 ^th overall for the season.

Tyler Bowers is still looking to make a move toward the front this season and finished 28 ^th in moto one and 25 ^th in moto two, for 26 ^th overall.

In the 250 class, Vince Friese finished the day in 20 ^th overall after a 20 ^th place finish in moto one and an 18 ^th in moto two.  Friese is now 24 ^th overall for the season.
