21 Year Old Ducati MotoGP Team rider Casey Stoner has come a long way since winning the first Grand Prix of the season in March. Nine wins, four podium finishes and five pole positions later, Stoner secured Ducati’s first MotoGP World Championship in Japan on September 23rd. It was Stoner’s worst result of the season in rainy Japan, with a 6th place finish. Stoner just needed to finish ahead of Valentino Rossi to achieve an unbeatable score. He completed the task as Rossi slowed down with tire problems, ultimately finishing thirteenth. This makes an 83 point gap between the two riders. With 25 points for a win and just 3 races left in the season, Stoner has clinched the title! To top it off, fellow rider and friend Loris Capirossi won the Japanese Grand Prix. What a day for Ducati fans!

Salt Lake Motorsports has just returned from an exciting trip to Monterey, CA for the 2007 Ducati National Dealer Awards! It was a great weekend and we had a blast seeing our fellow Ducati Dealerships all together. We are proud to be affiliated with such an amazing and innovative company. Salt Lake Motorsports was honored with three national awards:

First Place National Best Apparel Sales
First Place National Best Web Site / Marketing
Third Place Service Technician Award (Mr. Matt Spencer)

This was our second year winning for Best Apparel and Best Marketing. And although Matt Spencer has been recognized for service excellence many times over, this is his first National Ducati Dealer award. These awards represent the highest standards for the preceding 12 months. Thanks to all of our dedicated staff and our loyal customers for making Salt Lake Motorsports such a great place. You truly make the difference!

Ducati MotoGP Team rider Casey Stoner won at last weekend’s Grand Prix at Misano, taking his fourth pole position in a row and his eighth win of the season. This extends his World Championship lead to 85 pionts, increasing Ducati’s MotoGp Team’s lead in the teams’ championship. The Australian got the holeshot from pole position and after resisting early pressure from runner-up Chris Vermeulen and John Hopkins he extended his advantage to 1.8 seconds at half-distance, after setting a new lap record, and to 4.8 seconds at the chequered flag. Capirossi got a brilliant start from the fifth row to complete the first lap in fifth spot, spending most of the 28 laps battling with Marco Melandri.

SLMS has returned from another amazing year at the U.S. Grand Prix at Laguna Seca. Ducati Team rider Casey Stoner dominated the track in a faultless display of riding to win his sixth victory of the year. Stoner called it his “best racing weekend ever”, and what a weekend it was. The Ducati and SLMS tents were buzzing with red, and fans particularly enjoyed the fashion shows put on by our very own Ducati Hotties.

It was another exciting Sunday at the Ducati Cafe for watching the MotoGP races with Hot Joe and company. Ducati had a fine day with their factory team. Casey Stoner and Loris Capirossi started in 4th and 5th respectively, but these teammates finished off in 1st and 3rd! No one could get close to Casey after the end of the first lap, similar to the first race of the season in Quatar. The fabulous combo of riding skill, Ducati engineering and Bridgestone tires makes this a great team. We are already looking forward to the next race on May 6th.

Finally, the weather for this upcoming weekend is looking perfect for a nice group ride. Meet at the Ducati Cafe in Park City on Sunday, April 29th at 10:30 A.M. We’ll have a few ride options mapped out.
