BTO Sports KTM - Seattle Race Report

Seattle, WA (Apr.21) – BTO Sports, a leader in the latest motocross gear, parts and accessories, has announced the results of the BTO Sports – KTM team at round 15 of the Monster Energy Supercross series at Centurylink Field in Seattle, WA. With BTO Sports – KTM rider Matt Goerke out due to an injury, Andrew Short was the lone team rider to attack the Seattle track Saturday night.

Event Recap:

Not letting the weather bother him, Andrew Short felt good all day and qualified 7th out of the practice sessions. Short would get a great start in his heat race and would run strong until a hard crash in the whoops, forcing him in to the LCQ.  Short made quick work of the competition as he would take the win in the LCQ from the far outside gate.  In the main, the combination of the KTM Factory Services engine and Pirelli Scorpion MX tires allowed Short to get a good jump out of the gate to run inside the top ten at the end of the first lap. He would climb his way up to seventh until a few mistakes on the rutted track dropped him back to 9th where he would finish. Going in to Salt Lake City, Short is 7th in points.

“I didn’t have my best race of the season, I felt terrible out there but on the bright side of things, I’m healthy and I was inside the top ten. From here forward I’m looking forward to doing some outdoor testing to get ready for Hangtown” said Short after the race.
