This past weekend another rookie, Justin Barcia, picked up his second pro win in the Gateway City. Lites teammate Brett Metcalfe finished third. Barcia’s late season push, propelled him to second overall in the final East Coast Lites standings.

While we were watching the AMA Pro Road Racing in Daytona earlier this month, the American Superbike race was one of the closest races I have ever witnessed first hand. Five riders finished the race less than .8 seconds apart. Read the rest of this entry

Zimmer flew well above the limits of gravity at the Houston Monster Jame in mid-February (pictured) in the AMSOIL Shock Therapy truck. That jump made a lot of people take noticed and for the second year in a row, Zimmer was accepting an award at the event (2009 Rising Star Award).

Sometimes a week can make all the difference in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series.

GEICO Powersports/AMSOIL/Honda riders Trey Canard and Brett Metcalfe turned bad luck in Indianapolis into podium finishes Saturday night in Atlanta in front of a jam-packed house at the Georgia Dome.

Canard, racing in the series’ top division for Honda for just the second time, took advantage of a strong start and other competitors’ mistakes to finish second. Metcalfe, who crashed in practice in Indy before rallying for a fifth place finish, remained patient during a wild Supercross Lites East race and finished in third.

“It was a good week,” said Canard, who was involved in three accidents last weekend in Indy. “I feel like I made some good improvements and it paid off. Right now I’m just kind of speechless with the whole thing.”

Team AMSOIL rider Kevin Windham ran into trouble in the main event after starting the day on such a high note. Windham was the No. 1 qualifier and won his heat race. But on the third lap, Windham veered off-track and fell off his bike. He fell to last place but would rally to finish 14th on the day. Read the rest of this entry
