    JASON ANDERSON EARNS TENTH OVERALL FOR ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA AT GLEN HELEN MXGP
    The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team made an appearance at the Glen Helen MXGP this weekend with Jason Anderson in the MXGP class. Anderson started the event strong on Saturday with a 4th in timed practice and a 4th in the qualifying race. Extreme triple digit heat plagued the riders on Sunday but Anderson tried his best to push through. After starting in the back, he navigated through the pack aboard his Husqvarna FC 450 to finish 4th in moto 1. He started toward the back again in the second moto, but charged through the crowd and made it up to fifth for the majority of the race. With Monster Energy Cup quickly approaching, and the heat not letting up, he decided to conserve energy in order to minimize possible injury and finished 27th. The 4-27 finish gave him a commendable 10th overall on the day.

    “The GP at Glen Helen was definitely a nice change of pace from the normal SX and MX series I’m used to,” said Anderson. “It was a great learning experience. I had a couple long days and ended up with a decent first moto considering I came from behind. I came from behind again in the second moto and decided to conserve energy. I played it a little safe because I’m trying to get ready for Monster Cup, but it was a great day and I’m glad I got to experience it.“

    Anderson will now spend all his energy prepping for the upcoming Monster Energy Cup in October.
