Buchanan, MI – Team Dragon Racing Fuels/1-866-KTM-PART headed into Red Bud refreshed and ready to hit the track with #175 Phil Nicoletti and a new rookie rider that the Team is extremely excited to debut, #690 Ricky Winters.

Nicoletti had a solid qualifying performance and ended up with the 16th gate pick for Moto 1. With only three days under his belt with the Team and a switch to a new bike, Winters struggled and finished outside of the top 40. "I am disappointed but I will be ready for Millville… all I need is a little more time on the KTM", said Winters.

As the gate dropped in Moto 1, Nicoletti came out of the first turn in 19th. He fought his way up to 14th and was battling with Eli Tomac and Vince Friese. Phil fought hard and stayed right on the wheels of his competitors before committing a few miscues that allowed them to get away. Nicoletti finished the first moto in a very respectable15th place.

The riders lined up at the Start for Moto 2. Nicoletti brought his #175 Team Dragon Racing Fuels/1-866-KTM-PART machine around the first turn in16th place banging bars the whole way and was progressively moving forward until he went down and struggled to get his bike started. This, unfortunately, allowed riders to move by quickly. Phil battled back and picked off a few riders before going down again, this time falling all the way to back of the pack. Determined to grab precious points, Nicoletti used pride and experience to fight his way back through the pack and finished 23rd in Moto 2. With a (15) (23), Phil Nicoletti finished 23rd overall.
