ANAHEIM, Calif., (Jan. 10, 2005) – MDK Motorsports’ Nick Wey continued his reign as the top non-factory backed 250 class rider, this past weekend racing to a sixth place overall position at the opening round of the 2005 THQ/AMA Supercross Series at Anaheim’s Angels Stadium.

Wey, who had to go to the LCQ after coming up a couple spots short of transferring to the main out of his heat race, got his CR250R to remain upright for much of the LCQ, coming in second overall.

Then, in the main, Wey had to battle from the back of the pack to get up with the leaders – and held his spot for a much-deserved 6th place finish.

“Man, I haven’t ridden in mud like that since being up in northern Michigan on the trails with my dad,” said Wey. “That was insane. I was completely spent after that race. I think we all were. Nobody that finished left a thing on the track.”

Wey and MDK Motorsports get right back to action this weekend when the THQ/AMA Supercross Series makes its second stop of the 16-round season at Phoenix’s Bank One Ballpark.
