Americans Sweep Adelaide Supercross
A
merican's Justin Brayton
and Mitchell Oldenburg
both stood atop their respec-
tive podiums following round
two of the 2019 Australia
Supercross Series in Adelaide,
October 19. The Penrite Honda
Team duo claimed the SX1- and
SX2-class victories after all was
said and done.
Both Brayton and Oldenburg
were the top qualifiers and
went on to claim victories in
their respective main events.
Dan Rearson in SX1 and Jacob
Hayes in SX2 topped the eve-
ning's Superpole events.
"I'm stoked to go back to
back," said Brayton who won
the opening round two weeks
earlier, "especially because
now we've raced two really
different tracks, and I've been
strong on each along with my
Penrite Honda machine. Also,
to see Oldenburg grab the win
in SX2 is just great for the team,
and I think it speaks volumes for
our entire Penrite Honda outfit."
In the SX2, red-plate holder
Hayes was in the mix early but
experienced crash a big crash
in one of the rhythm lanes early
and subsequently DNF'd. As a
result, Oldenburg breezed to a
seven-second margin of victory
and moved his way into third in
the standings, four points be-
hind new leader Aaron Tanti.
"Tonight was awesome,"
Oldenburg said. "We struggled
a bit at round one; those in-
door tracks are just so difficult
and easy to make a mistake,
and that's what we did. So
to rebound here feels great;
we're four points off the cham-
pionship, so I'm excited for the
remainder of the championship."
Rounding out the podium in
SX2 was Raceline KTM Thor's
Josh Osby and Tanti, aboard his
Serco Yamaha.
In SX1, it was once again the
CDR Yamaha Monster Energy
teammates of Luke Clout and
Dan Reardon taking up the
second- and third-place posi-
tions, with hometown hero Brett
Metcalfe in fourth. CN
