Ferry, Grant and Lawrence on the Podium!

A HUGE congratulations to etnies riders Tim Ferry, Josh Grant and Jason Lawrence for kicking ass this weekend in Anaheim! Three out of six guys on the podium rock etnies! Nice!
Ferry got his first Supercross podium in, well, he doesn't even know how long! It's been a while. Officially it's his second podium this season since Wey was DQ'd for fuel at Anaheim 2 and Ferry's fourth place finish was bumped up to third...but this weekend it was legit. Solid starts all night and riding super consistent did the trick for ol' Red Dog, and you can count on some more for sure!
Check out Timmy's post-race interview at Racer X.
The Lites class was going nuts! A red flag on lap one of the 250F main, caused by Sobe/Samsung's Jake Weimer crashing, lead to the restart. With a busted chin and blood all over the place, Jake toughed it out, made it to the restart and ended up finishing sixth in the main...way to salvage those points! Jake is still third overall in the 250F West points!
Josh Grant got a solid start (on both of them) and quickly moved into second place behind Villopoto. That's basically how it went for the rest of the race for Grant...he put his head down for 15 laps and brought her home for his third podium in a row!
Jason Lawrence also made his third podium appearance of the year--each one for the home crowd in Anaheim... A1, A2 & A3! But it didn't come easy for him. While the restart was great for Jake Weimer, it wasn't so great for Lawrence. Lawrence was in second place on the first lap, right on the tail of Hansen with Villopoto buried mid-pack, until it was red flagged. It could well have been J-Law's first dub'ya, but it wasn't in the cards.
On the restart Jason was the one with the mid-pack start and had to battle his way through the pack, past guys like Hansen, Gosselaar and Davalos, for third place--his third Anaheim podium and what I like to call, the "Anaheim hat trick!" It has nothing to do this stupid ducks either.
Snapple Fact: Only Stewart, Reed, Villopoto and Jason Lawrence pulled off the "Anaheim hat trick" this year...
