Suzuki Racing - Career best for Stewart at Indianapolis Supercross
Team #Suzuki Press Office – March 27.
#malcolmstewart #27 – 450 Class – 6th
#westonpeick #34 – 450 Class – 22nd
#kylepeters #76 – 250 Class – 8th
#philnicoletti #54 – 250 Class - 9th
The Autotrader/ Yoshimura/ #Suzuki Factory #racing team journeyed to #lucasoilstadium in #Indianapolis for round 12 of the 2018 Monster Energy AMA/ FIM World #supercross series at the weekend; and as a snowstorm raged outside, #malcolmstewart wowed the 60,873 diehard fans inside by scoring his best premier class #supercross result of his career aboard the all-new #Suzuki #RMZ450.
In the 250 class, #kylepeters and #philnicoletti also posted strong results on their #Suzuki #rmz250s in securing top-ten finishes.
A banged-up shoulder didn’t hold Stewart back on a technical track that broke down over the 27-lap 450 main event. The Haines City, Fla. native powered through the field on his #Suzuki #RMZ450 in effortless fashion. At one point he was positioned in fifth place, but a bout of late-race tightness held him to sixth on the evening. It was a smart and gutsy ride by the ever-popular Stewart, moving him up to 11th in the championship standings.
#Indianapolis featured the first of two 250 East/ West Showdowns, which brought the best 250 class riders from each coast together. Peters was ready to face the deep field, rocketing out to the holeshot on his #Suzuki RM-Z250 in the heat race. He brought that level of intensity to the Main Event, logging consistent laps and scoring eighth place. Peters sits sixth in the 250 East championship standings.
After a long hiatus, Nicoletti was back in action. The New Yorker looked sharp all evening long, mixing it up with the front-runners and giving no quarter. Early in the 250 East/ West Showdown he gained four positions in a single lap. Nicoletti’s efforts earned him ninth – which ties his best result of the series. “Filthy” is 11th in the 250 West championship standings.
#westonpeick was well on his way to another heroic ride after finishing fifth in his heat race. He worked up to seventh in the Main, but a crash ended his night early, but he is still within striking distance of fifth place in the overall championship standings.
Defending 250 West #supercross Champion, Justin Hill, came down with an illness earlier in the week that prevented him from #racing in #Indianapolis. Hill will undergo further evaluation, and an update on his health status will be released when more information becomes available.
