Andrew Short says: "To be up on the box at just my second race since returning from injury is a great achievement for me. I’m really pumped to put Honda Red Bull Racing on the podium for another week. My ankle felt one hundred times better, which made all the difference for me. I’m looking forward to heading west again to race the Seattle supercross this week. Davi (Millsaps) or I always seem to finish on the box in Seattle so it should be another good weekend for the team."After a seven-race eastern swing, Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class championship racing will returns to action with Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jake Weimer leading Honda’s Trey Canard by 14 points.With two races left, Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class leader Jake Weimer looks to extend his 14 point lead over Canard this weekend and add another No. 1 plate to the door of Mitch Payton’s transporterJake Weimer says: "It’s been a long break from racing for me. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been out riding though. I’ve done a lot of outdoor testing and also have been on the supercross tracks making sure I can bring home the title."Trey Canard will return to the Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class championship on a Honda CRF250R. A former Lites class champion, Canard has two wins this season, San Francisco and Anaheim 2. During the seven-race break in the Western Regional series, Canard used the opportunity to gain some experience in the premier AMA Supercross class. He finished on the podium in five of the six races he contested.Trey Canard says: "There are 14 points between (Jake) Weimer and myself with two races to go. My plan is to go out there and ride to my full potential and earn as many points as possible. I need to race two great rounds and have some luck on my side in order to win the title. It’s not going to be easy with Weimer riding so good this year, but if I can ride with the same level of confidence that I did while racing the CRF450R then I know I will be in there with a good chance."Weimer’s teammate at Pro Circuit Kawasaki, Josh Hansen, is looking to earn his first podium of the season.Josh Hansen says: "I’ve been working hard during the break. I know what I need to do and I know we can be on the podium these last few rounds."Tickets are available in advance at the Qwest Field Box Office, all Ticketmaster Outlets, or charge by phone at 800-745-3000 or online at ticketmaster.com.
