ANAHEIM, Calif. - Team Suzuki's Nick Wey went 9-6 for an 8^th place overall finish this past weekend at Broome-Tioga Sport Center, Round 10 of the 2004 AMA Chevrolet Motocross Championship.

Wey, aboard an RM 250, lost a bit of ground on friendly rival Ernesto Fonseca in the battle for sixth place overall, now trailing Fonseca by eight points with two races remaining.

"I got a couple bad starts and my lap times were indicative of right where I finished," said Wey. "Tough track to move up on if you didn't get good starts, so, if there's something positive to pull out of this, I was pleased I moved up in the standings.

"Other than that - plain and simple - I'm just going to have to race better at the final two races."

Wey and Team Suzuki take this weekend off before returning to action Sept. 5^th at Steel City. Last year at Steel City Wey finished 12^th overall (13-9).
