250SX: Oakland Notebook

Media Release  |  Posted January 26, 2013   Oakland, CA

After missing out on qualifying for the Main Event in Phoenix, Rockstar Energy Racing rider Jason Anderson bounced back to grab a seventh-place finish in Anaheim and get some momentum heading into Oakland.

"The weekend was alright,” said Anderson. “I had a good Heat; matched my career best Heat Race finish with a second place. Going into the Main, I was really focused on my gate selection with the third pick. I ended up coming around the first corner in eighth. I crashed in the second turn and again at the end of the first lap and got stuck on a tuff block. I got up and made it all the way back to seventh."

Teammate Ryan Sipes experienced misfortune in the Main Event at Anaheim, getting caught in an incident on the opening lap that ultimately forced him to retire from the race. With the misfortune behind him, Sipes will look to bounce back with a strong result in Oakland.

"The race was a real bummer because I felt like I had what I needed to win,” said Sipes. “The Heat Race was awesome but in the Main I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Its tough because there was nothing I could do. I will be back strong in a few weeks though. Can't thank the Rockstar Energy Racing Team enough for sticking behind me."
