US Supercross Series: 2nd round Phoenix, AZ

Round two of the AMA Supercross FIM Championship held at Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ brought a nearly sold out crowd and perfect temperatures.

MDK KTM Factory rider, Nick Wey, was in Heat #2 of the Supercross class. He got a good jump but was pushed out causing him to come around the first turn in last position. He charged his way up trying to pass where he could on the fast track. By the eighth and final lap he had moved into 10th just one spot shy of qualifying. Forced to go to the last chance, Wey, nailed the holeshot and lead the race from start to finish earning a spot in the main.
 
In the Supercross class main, Wey had a poor gate pick and had to choose an outside line. As the riders took off he was pushed way out and replayed the last place start he had earlier in his Heat. He rode hard and stayed strong trying to move up on the pack. By lap four he had passed a few riders and was riding in 16th. The track was fast and each rider was giving it his all. Wey spent the majority of the moto battling with Davi Millsaps as they continued to pass back and forth. At the end of the race, Wey had closed in on the pack ahead of him but was not able to move past. He ended in 16th for the night.
