TOURING SPORT DUCSHOP DUCATI TAKES TOPEKA -
July 30, 2009
Touring Sport Ducshop Ducati won today’s two hour MotoGT2 endurance race at Heartlake Park Topeka Raceway, finishing the race fourth overall. Rider’s Huntley Nash and Corey Rech piloted the Ducati PS1000LE to the team’s fourth win this season, broadening their championship point’s lead another seven points, with two additional points awarded for lap leader and best qualifier.
Torrential rains ripped through the paddock last night making the track too hazardous for morning practice, but it made little difference. Rech began the first stint battling neck-to-neck with the rival PS1000LE of Hurt By Accident. Each time he was passed Rech was able to instantly regain the lead. The battle proved too much for the Hurt By Accident team who crashed mid-race, making it smooth sailing for duo after that who had already pulled well away from their next closest race rival, Pair-A-Nines who are currently running runner-up in the championship points.
Acting as crew chief, covering for an injured Mark Sutton, team owner Frank Shockley was thrilled with the result of his former Red Bull rookie riders and stand in crew. “Though I like being crew chief I far prefer riding.” said Shockley. “I was more nervous this race than I’ve ever been as a rider. But Corey and Huntley made it look easy and the crew, despite the pre-race scramble fixing a fuel leak, were flawless. I’d like to especially thank my step son for stepping in as fuel man.”
The team heads to VIR in two weeks.
