Mikey Lou Sanchez started the weekend off pretty good, finishing in the top 10 of both free practices on Friday. 

 

Saturday in Practice, Mikey was P10 which put him directly into Q2. In Qualifying Mikey finished P12 which put him 23rd on the grid but because of a few penalties from other riders he ended up starting P20. 

 

Race 1 was tricky, the race was delayed because of rain, and then it was dry, so all riders went from slicks to wet tires back to slicks. The race had been changed from 12 laps to 9 Laps.On the first lap there was a crash in turn 3 which caused a split between the front group. Mikey was able to avoid the riders and continue. He was able to finish P12, putting in the second fastest lap of the race on the last lap!

 

Race 2 was a completely different race. The track was super wet from heavy rains. We were confident Mikey would do well in the rain, as he moved up from 21st to 13th on the first lap but then on the second lap he high sided coming out of turn 10.

 

 

Mikey is ok, and he is determined to fight with the front group in 3 weeks July 26-27 at Motorland Aragon!

 

“He’s continuing to learn the new Team with this being his second race weekend with AC Racing. I know he’s capable of running with these front guys!” Trinity – Mickey’s mom says.
