Signs of Life
Moto XXX Results Improve in Detroit’s Ford Field Supercross

Team Unbound Energy/Moto XXX entered Detroit’s Ford Field last weekend with the
level of excitement and anticipation you’d expect for a new venue’s debut race.
The riders were excited to see the facilities, track design and dirt. The team
as a whole was concerned with the tasks of keeping Timmy Ferry in the top ten
and getting Josh Summey back there. In addition to a couple of other positive
developments, those objectives were met.

Leading the way, as he has been for past couple of months, was Timmy Ferry.
“Red
Dog” has gone on a tear of late, finishing in the top ten week after week.
While
running at the front of the privateer pack, he’s also had successful battles
with factory riders. His 9th place finish in Detroit saw him retain 10th place
in the season standings. As long as he continues his current pace, Ferry should
be able to move up a couple more spots before the series comes to a close in
Las
Vegas.

Since the Supercross series shifted to the East, Josh Summey has consistently
displayed top ten, even top five speed at times. Unfortunately, bad luck has
caused problems with his consistency. Untimely crashes, such as the one that
ended his main event in the first turn at Orlando, have been all too common,
but “Sum Dog” got it going in Detroit. After squeaking into the “Lites” class
main event via the LCQ, he set his sites on the sport’s brightest young stars.
Proving that he should be considered one of them, Summey diced with the factory
boys and rode a smart race in general. He finished 8th and got himself back up
to 13th in the standings. With one more round in the East region, his goal is
to finish as strongly as possible and make one last move in the standings.

Detroit also saw the return of Kyle Lewis, who was injured a few weeks ago. On
doctor’s orders, “Lucky” sat a few rounds out because of facial injuries that
could have jeopardized his vision if not allowed to heal properly. In Detroit,
he was able to find a pretty good pace, but crashes in his qualifiers kept him
out of the main event. Nevertheless, it was great to have him back at the track
and even with all the setbacks, he still holds 20th in the standings.

Next up for Team Unbound Energy/Moto XXX is the Houston Supercross, which will
be followed by a much-needed pair of weekends off.
