Western Regional 250SX Class Results From Arizona
From a Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki press release:
The Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki Team landed on the podium once again, this time in Phoenix, Arizona for Round 5. Joey Savatgy had yet another stellar performance, taking away a well deserved 3rd place podium finish, now tied for the points lead in the 250SX series. Chris Alldredge also had an excellent weekend, earning 6th place, his best finish this season. The team looked incredibly dialed in at Phoenix and plans to carry their momentum into next weekend’s San Diego event.
Savatgy Keeping The Momentum Going
Joey Savatgy entered University of Phoenix stadium this past weekend with just one thing on his mind – landing on that podium. Once the dust had finally settled, he did just that! To start the night, he earned another heat win victory and in the main event, he was able to work his way through the pack to grab a 3rd place podium spot. Joey intends to work on a few things and head back to San Diego for a chance to take the lead in the series.
“Today was pretty good, had a pretty good heat race, where we were able to come home with another heat win, podium and salvage points.”
Alldredge Turns It Up a Notch In Arizona
Chris Alldredge started his weekend off right, with a 3rd place finish in his heat race. In the Main Event, Alldredge was able to finally get the start he’d been waiting for, coming out of the first corner in 4th. He continued to hold his ground, only allowing a few to pass throughout his race, and eventually earned a top 10 finish at the #6 spot. Thanks to his practiced starts, Chris is beginning to ride more confidently at speed, which translates to a fluid ride throughout his race. His progression and consistency are undeniable, and his plan is to continue working his way up to the top of the 250SX series, starting with San Diego this weekend.
“My day was pretty good, had the track dialed early, I finally got the start I wanted in the Main Event, unfortunately a couple guys got by me but I kept it together for sixth.”
