  • Patterson Kicks off New Year with a Win
Wortham, TX – Honda of Houston/Fox Racing’s Jessica Patterson kicked off the New Year with a 1 – 1 sweep at the WMA Cup, held January 1st at the Freestone County Raceway, Wortham, Texas.

New Year’s Day marked the first women’s pro race of the 2009 season with a stand-alone event at the Freestone County Raceway. Many top pro racers made the trek to Texas for the WMA Cup and were greeted with great weather conditions for racing. Moto One took place early in the morning and saw the familiar sight of Jessica Patterson (Hon) getting the holeshot, followed by Sherri Cruse (Suz), Tarah Gieger (Yam), Tatum Sik (Yam) and the rookie bike of Jackie Ives (Yam). Patterson led from the start to checkers. Cruse tried to hold off Gieger but on lap three Gieger made the pass, Cruse made a charge to catch Patterson and Gieger but crashed in a rut dropping to the back of the pack. Tatum Sik and Elizabeth Bash (Kaw) battled most of the moto. At the checker’s Sik finished 3rd behind Gieger in 2nd and Patterson in 1st.

In Moto Two Gieger got the holeshot followed by Patterson and Cruse. The two broke away from the pack. Gieger led the moto until lap seven. She went down in a corner and Patterson made the pass for the win. Patterson mentioned after the moto that she rode with a broken rear brake line. Meanwhile, Cruse had made a mistake early on and was out of the running for the podium. Sik and Bash once again battled for third but this time Bash was the victor finishing 3rd in the moto and 3rd on the podium.
