JASON ANDERSON FINISHES 4TH IN SANTA CLARA FOR ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA FACTORY RACING

ZACH OSBORNE THIRD OVERALL IN 250 CLASS

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jason Anderson and Zach Osborne rolled into Santa Clara, Calif.’s Levi’s Stadium for the very first time on Saturday for the 15th round of the 2015 Supercross series. Anderson had an impressive night with a fourth-place finish, while Osborne faced some unfortunate luck and was unable to finish the 250SX West main.

Santa Clara marked the finale of the 2015 250SX West series. Zach Osborne was looking awesome all night. His Husqvarna FC 250 was pulling great starts, and he was looking to finish the season up front. He got the holeshot in the main, but got caught up in a massive pileup in the first turn after another rider ran into the back of his bike. He was unable to finish the race after the incident, and finishes the season third overall in 250SX West rider point standings.

“My day started off well,” said Osborne. “I was fastest in the first free practice, but then struggled a little in the other two practices. Then tonight I turned it around in the heat race. I pulled a great start in the main but then got plowed from behind. There wasn’t much I could do. It pretty much destroyed my bike, and I got pretty banged up myself. I ended up third in the championship, but it’s a little disheartening. It’s been one of those years where it seems like I’m doing all the right things, but the pieces just aren’t coming together. It’s tough to swallow, for sure.

” Jason Anderson got a top-five start in his heat and had moved into the third-place position by the end of the first lap. He held steady and finished third to transfer directly to the main. In the main, Anderson pulled a top-10 start and navigated his Husqvarna FC 450 into the sixth place spot by lap eight. He continued to charge forward and made an impressive pass on Justin Barcia for the fourth-place position with seven laps to go. He crossed the finish line in fourth, and is currently seventh overall in 450 rider point standings.

“Today was good overall,” said Anderson. “I worked through the day. It was better than last weekend. I felt patient every race. My heat race wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad. I cased a rhythm section, but I was able to pull it off. I didn’t get as good a start as I wanted in the main, but I was pumped and able to move up to the front and get a fourth. Top five is good, but I want to get on the box. I was calmer tonight and I didn’t rush anything. I managed my race better and felt like I rode more mature.” Munn Racing’s Ben Lamay finished 17th in the 450 class aboard his Husqvarna FC 450.
