Tonight On Pit Pass Moto
Advance, North Carolina (May 6, 2014) – Motorcycle racers, business owners and insiders from the motorcycle world give their uncut opinions and stories every Tuesday at 8 pm eastern. Listen live at www.pitpassmoto.com
Jake Weimer, 450 Supercross/Motocross – Monster Energy Kawasaki
Weimer had an injury (dislocated shoulder and broken bone in hand) in San Diego that forced him to sit on the sidelines a good portion of the 2014 Supercross season. In his first race back at the New Jersey round he qualified 5th and ended up 11th in the main. At the finale in Vegas he nailed the holeshot and rode strong for most of the race to finish 8th after a crash.
Cody Webb, EnduroCross- Beta USA/GEICO/Stillwell Performance
Round one of the GEICO AMA EnduroCross series kicked off the night before the Monster Energy Supercross series concluded in Vegas. In typical EnduroCross fashion the main event was filled with carnage but Cody rode nearly flawless to grab the early points lead. The series resumes on June 21 in Sacramento, CA.
