In spite of 100-degree temperatures, Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing's Mike Alessi gave a strong performance at Freestone County Raceway in Wortham, Texas, on Sunday. The young rider holeshot both motos and then brought home two second-place finishes to take second-place overall. Rockstar Makita Suzuki team mate Michael Byrne celebrated his second sixth-place finish of the season, thanks to eighth and fifth-place moto finishes. Alessi is currently third in the overall championship points while Byrne is sixth.
Team Makita Suzuki Racing's Ryan Dungey brought home an impressive third-place finish in the Supercross Lites class at the Dallas, Texas Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross at Texas Stadium on Saturday night. "I felt like I got back into the groove even though I made a little mistake," said Dungey. "I'm happy to be on the box tonight. After last week's win, we're one and three and not one and 18, so I'm happy with that for sure. The Makita Suzuki RM-Z250 ran great and everybody on the Makita Suzuki team did a great job on getting the bike ready tonight. Thanks to my mechanic, 'Tool Time' and everybody else who helped me out."
