Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Soule Fights Back For Top-Five at Indy EnduroCross

Irvine, Calif. – Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Justin Soule battled back from a tough start to end the night with a top-five finish at the inaugural EnduroCross event in Indianapolis. Kawasaki’s filled the top 10 with half the finishers on green machines. Kyle Redmond earned his first career podium with a second place finish, while privateer Gary Sutherlin also raced to his best finish in fourth place. Colton Haaker came across the checkered just behind Soule in sixth, while Jamie Lanza finished eighth.

Steady Season

In just his first season riding EnduroCross, Soule continued his consistent ways with a come-from-behind fifth-place finish. After a decent start, he got caught up on the first lap and was last as he finished the lap. He didn’t let that stop him from putting in a charge and with a little help from the other riders having their own bad luck, he pushed his way up to fifth on the final lap.

Privateer Finisher

Kawasaki’s Sutherlin has made every main event so far this year and on Friday, earned his career best finish with a fourth place. He was very close to the podium, but played it safe and came across with the top finish of his career.

Tough Night

With only three days notice, Abbott was recruited to fill in for injured Ricky Dietrich in Indianapolis. Although he didn’t make the main, he rode really well in each of his stacked races and let Indy with his head up.

Another New One

For the second time this year, EnduroCross will make a stop at a brand new venue on the circuit. The race at Comcast Arena in Everett, Wash. will draw the Dietrich fans since his hometown is only 20 minutes away.
