Media
Allstars' Nick Lepkoske went 1-1 at Red
Bud to win the overall in 450C and Open
C classes |
Morehead, KY (8/5/2011) - Team
LSR, Morehead Motorsports, Media Allstars rolled
into Buchanan, Michigan with one mission…and
that was to use the momentum gained after taking
seven overall wins at Unadilla. It’s not
always easy to follow up a dominant performance,
but this team seems to be finding its groove
at just the right time! It appears that the
industry is taking notice as well.
The producers of Racer TV and the reality show
ATV 24/7 were on hand to interview team members
and get insight as to what Team Media Allstars
is all about. With the Camera’s rolling
and the sun blistering down on the sandy Red
Bud soil our riders took to the track and didn’t
disappoint.
Dylan Tremellen #940 has been on fire all season
long, he continued that streak by going 1-1
and taking yet another 4-stroke B overall. Even
more importantly Dylan wrapped up the class
championship a round early, which means we’ll
get a sneak peak at 2012 as he’ll test
the waters in the A class at Loretta Lynn’s.
Tremellen also went 3-2 for 2nd in the 16-24
class which locks him into 2nd place in points
for the season in that class too.
Nick Lepkoske #28 has been a winning machine
as of late. Nick didn’t loose a moto all
weekend as he went 1-1 for 1st in both the 450C
and Open C classes earning him team MVP for
the weekend. Another rider that is riding a
winning streak is none other than Medina, OH’s
Dan Hoisington #71. Dan continues to roll in
the 450B class. After taking home his first
B class overall at Unadilla the Suzuki pilot
went 1-1 for yet another 450B overall at Red
Bud. Returning to the scene after a bit of an
unplanned absence was the #52 of Ryan Wheeler.
Ryan put on a strong showing with a 2-4 and
2nd overall in the Production B class and 2-7
scores for 4th in 450B.
Calen McGinty #33 couldn’t seem to find
his groove in Production B at Red Bud but he
still managed to stay locked into 2nd place
in the point’s race. Open B was a different
matter though as McGinty put his MotoXperts
powered Suzuki on the podium by going 5-3 for
3rd overall. Mark 636 and Dale Batson 671 both
had good rides in the 30+ A/B class. Dale finished
up 7th and Mark 12th overall respectively.
Mini Riders Josh #7 and Matthew Holley #9 continue
to impress and improve as the season end nears.
Josh scored a 2-7 for 4th in the 70 CVT class
and went 7-1 for 3rd overall in the 70 single
speed. Matthew ended up 6th overall in the 50
SR class but scored a 3rd place in the second
moto which is his best finish to date! Jake
McGraw’s miserable luck continued at Red
Bud after taking a slight hiatus. Jake finished
up 6th in Open A and 14th in 4-stroke A, good
news is that the Piketon, OH rider is locked
into 2nd place in the Open A points race and
holds a 12 point lead in the 4-stroke A class.
If the #83 machine can catch a break at Loretta
Lynn’s Jake join Dylan Tremellen as 2011
National Champions, and like Dylan it would
be the 3rd National title of his young racing
career.
Team Manager Chase Cunningham #419 extended
his points lead in the 25+ class at Red Bud
by going 1-4 for 3rd overall. Chase needs just
finish 5th or better at Loretta Lynn’s
to claim himself another Championship as well.
Chase also earned another Open A class podium
finish by going 1-5 for 3rd overall on the weekend.
Team Media Allstars even got a solid performance
out of Jake Brattain #104. Brattain who is a
long standing team member has been taking time
away from racing to concentrate on school, but
once an Allstar always an Allstar. Jake earned
himself a solid 2-2 and 2nd overall in the Open
C class proving he’s still got it!
With the Loretta Lynn’s final just around
the corner Team Media Allstars appears to be
in great shape to take home several National
Championships and a handful of Regional Titles
too. See you at the Ranch!
