AMA Motocross Championship Series Round 11

Southwick, Massachusetts

Moto-X 338

August 29, 2009

Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Michael Byrne captured his best finish of the season at Moto-X 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts, on Saturday afternoon. The Australian finished third in both 30-minute motos on the rain-soaked track, and this result was good enough to give him second-place overall for the day.

Michael Byrne:

“Getting such a good result at Southwick means a lot. I've had more downs than ups at this track and to get two good starts and run up front meant a lot today. But I couldn't have done it without the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team. They've been really great, everybody's been working their butts off and they have given me a great bike to race.”

Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will race the final round of AMA Motocross at Steel City Raceway in Delmont, Pennsylvania, next Saturday, September 5, 2009.
