US Supercross Series: 14th round Detroit, MI
By TMX Archives on 14th Apr 08
MDK KTM Factory rider Nick Wey had some difficulties in his heat race causing him to pull off.
His mechanic, Jamie Ellis, quickly went to work to solve the problem earningthe top tech award for the night by helping Wey return in time for the LCQ wherehe grabbed the holeshot and the win to transfer into the main event.
Inthe main, Wey got a poor start due largely to his outside gate position and hadto work his way up through the riders. He eventually charged up to 12th positionwhen on the last lap he got tangled with Paul Carpenter and Jake Marsack in acrash that sent all three riders to the ground. Wey got up first and salvaged17th for the night.
