Racer X Holeshot Award
It was a green weekend in Colorado. All four of the Racer X/Moto Tees Holeshot recipients were aboard Monster Energy Kawasakis, as well as both overall winners. Thunder Valley is a HUGE challenge for mechanics, as they have to deal with the altitude as well as the rich soil on the uphill start stretch, which leads into a tight right-hander. Here’s how the races started out:

In the first Lites moto it was Chris Gosselaar getting his Monster Energy Kawasaki across the Racer X holeshot line first, barely edging out his teammate, Brett Metcalfe, and SoBe No Fear/Samsung Honda’s Josh Grant. The good start helped Goose on to his best finish of the 2007 season—a seventh overall.

On a day when he needed them the most, James Stewart’s Monster Energy KX450F pulled through in the high elevation of Colorado, earning him both Moto Tees holeshots and an extra $500 for his efforts. In the first moto he beat out the Team Honda duo of Davi Millsaps and Andrew Short, but then faded back to fourth as he struggled with the neck and back injuries he sustained at Unadilla.
