DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha - Daytona
March 9, 2010, 7:12pm
The AMA Supercross series visited Daytona Motor Speedway and massive crowd last Saturday for round three of East coast Lites championship. DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing /Yamaha’s fielding of two riders, #341 Nico Izzi, and the rider from Ecuador #577 Martin Davalos. Like every year, conditions at this race are extremely challenging and everything needs to lineup just right for a great finish. Preliminary action got underway in good fashion as Izzi stood high up in the charts at 3rd and Davalos clocked the 6th fastest Timed-qualifying lap.
Slated into Heat #1; Davalos reeled off a fair start only to get taken down in the first lap. Once back going again, Davalos was far from qualifying unfortunately. So in the dreaded LCQ, Davalos played it cool and took 1st, securing himself into the Main Event. When the Main Event took to the track, Davalos and his #577 bike were in the mix sitting in 9th. Finding his grove, Davalos quickly made his way through a few battles, and on lap three he had reached 8th. Once there, Davalos had a bobble on lap five which took him back to 11th. From there, Martin put together consistent laps and got back into being in race mode, which carried him to the finish of 10th.
Next in line would be Izzi, starting Heat #2 in the thick of the field, the Georgia native showed good speed and raced on to a transfer position of 5th. With a subpar start to the Main Event, 13th, Izzi jumped to 8th on lap five. However, while on the move he fell victim to a few mistakes and would end up being shuffled back to 11th on the eleventh lap. Shaken a little, Izzi pushed on to close out the remaining laps strong. Certainly feeling some effects of the bobbles he had, the last lap saw Izzi relinquish another few positions when he hit the ground momentarily, once back up Izzi went on placing him in 13th, where he’d finish out at.
