Nick Moser & Kevin Lenz |
Nick Moser started eighth in the first moto,
but was quickly in the lead and took the victory.
In moto two, Moser took the holeshot and led every
lap. It marked another sweep for Moser and his
third consecutive victory in the class. He now
leads the championship by 31 points.
“The Honda was awesome this weekend,” said Moser.
“My PEP suspension was better than ever after
I made a few adjustments in practice. The Hetrick
Racing engine was ripping all weekend and the
Maxxis tires were really hooking up. Three wins
in three rounds feels great. I can’t wait to get
home and start training to make it a little easier
on myself. I’m going to work a lot harder and
come out even better at the next round.”
The event was a memorial race to celebrate the
lives of riders who lost their lives. That made
it even more special for Moser and his team, named
for Kyler Lenz, who passed away last year.
“It was a very emotional weekend for the whole
Kyler Lenz team,” said Moser. “It meant a lot
to Kevin and Nicole and reminded me of the circumstances
of why I’m racing here. For me to come out and
have success was really special.”
Kevin Lenz explained that teamwork and overcoming
adversity made the weekend special for him. Moser
was nearly killed in a crash several years ago
and Korie Richmond left the sport after Kyler’s
accident, but he made his return this weekend
at Underground MX.
“To come back from his crash and ride for us
and for Kyler, and all of the fear Nick has to
get through, is special,” said Kevin Lenz. “We
all worked together and it meant so much for all
of us. All of us were riding for Kyler and I’m
so proud of this team for overcoming adversity
and we won.”
Sam Rowe finished ninth in the first Pro moto.
He was running strong in the second moto, but
an engine issue took him out of contention. Rowe
is not going to let the bad luck he’s had get
him down.
“It was just a freak thing,” said Rowe. “I’ve
just had bad luck this year. I felt good on the
bike and I was riding well. I’m just a little
off the speed of being in the top five, so I’m
going to keep working. My luck will turn around.”
Kyler Lenz Motorsports heads next to Ironman
Raceway in Crawfordsville, IN May 5-6 for round
four of the championship.
