Where He Belongs

5/9/2013

 

 

Monster Energy Kawasaki rolled the dice last night at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas as Monster Energy Supercross came to a close. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Tyler Bowers won his first main event in the East region.

 

Where He Belongs

Bowers is used to dominating the Arenacross circuit so when he won his first supercross main event, he was right at home on top of the podium. The three-time Arenacross champion made a statement in Vegas by being the top qualifier in the Eastern Region and riding 15 mistake-free laps in the East main event to take his first career supercross win.

“It’s kind of a Cinderella story,” said Bowers. “I had no plans to race supercross after wrapping up the Arenacross championship, but after getting the call from Mitch Payton I was 100-percent committed. The team has worked so hard and I have as well, so it feels great to get my first win.”

Bowers Wins East Coast Main at Las Vegas, NV Supercross

5/5/2013

 

 

Monster Energy’s Tyler Bowers picked up a win at the final round of the Monster Energy Supercross season at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. Bowers grabbed his first career Supercross win with the victory in the Eastern Regional 250SX main event.

 

Monster Energy rider Bowers started the night off right, taking his first career 250SX victory in the opening race of the evening. The three-time Arenacross champion proved he was worthy of the interim ride with the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team, leading 13 of 15 laps during the Eastern Regional main event.

 

A special race has been a part of the Las Vegas round for many years and arguably a favorite amongst fans. The 2013 Dave Coombs, Sr. East/West Shootout put the best 10 250SX riders from each region and it didn’t disappoint. Tyler was running up front but a crash slowed his charge. Bowers came back from the crash to finish 14th.

Making the Jump

Making the Jump

Three short weeks ago, Bowers wrapped up his third consecutive Arenacross championship and was planning on taking some time off until he got the call from Pro Circuit’s Mitch Payton. Bowers tested with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki over the past two weeks and got the KX™250F dialed for his debut with the team in Houston. Although he didn’t have any expectations for himself, he took many by surprise when he qualified third overall in the 250SX class just a hair off the speed of the championship contenders. Bowers rode a strong heat race to finish second, but in the main event he tangled with another rider and nearly found himself on the ground in the first turn. He made quick work of the field and caught the leaders, battling for third but ultimately finishing just off the podium in fourth place.

“I know that with this great team behind me, paired with my ability, we can be upfront battling,” said Bowers. “The main event was a bit hairy the first few laps. I rounded the first turn in 19th after a rider went down in front of me and within the first few corners I had made my way into the top-10. From there I just concentrated on riding my lines and trying to keep with the leaders. With another week on the bike and we’ll come out swinging in Minneapolis.”

Bowers Cards a 4th in His First Monster Energy Pro Circuit Ride

4/8/2013

 

 

Three-time Arenacross champion Tyler Bowers got the call over the break from the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team to fill in for injured rider Justin Hill. It was an offer he couldn’t refuse and made the team proud with a successful evening in Houston, finishing the main event just off the podium in fourth. 

 

With limited time on the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki, Bowers adapted quickly and scored his best supercross finish of his career. 

 

The Party in the Pits filled up in Houston and the Monster Energy VIP area was the main attraction. The Monster Energy girls were on hand to make sure everyone had a great time. 

 

With Round 13 in the books, the season is winding down and the Monster Energy Supercross only has four stops remaining on the circuit. Next week, the series heads back to the Metrodome in Minneapolis for the penultimate round of the Eastern Regional 250SX class before heading back west.
