State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ hosted the first Triple Crown event of the year. This format of racing features daytime qualifying like normal; but 3 Main Events during the night show. 18 riders advance out of qualifying, while the remaining riders battle it out in the daytime LCQ for 1 of 4 coveted spots. Winners are given points for each Main Event in an Olympic-style scoring method. First place = 1 point, etc. then the lowest points at the end of the night score their qualifying normal Championship points. The stakes are always slightly higher at Triple Crown Events; continue reading to see how TPJ Team rider Colby Copp did.

Colby Copp #645 had his best qualifying position so far this season with a 33rd overall. However, due to the Triple Crown format, he was forced into the LCQ to determine his night show fate. Colby started the 5 minute + 1 lap LCQ in 3rd and was looking smooth and hitting all his marks. Around the 4-minute mark, Schlosser started to catch him. The two traded positions a few times in some corners until a final pass caused both riders to go down. Colby was understandably disappointed, but he must feel great knowing this was his best riding this year.

Here’s what Colby Copp #645 had to say about his weekend:
“Glendale was almost a great night for me I struggled with qualifying and it being my first triple crown I was nervous all day. I turned it all around and had a perfect LCQ going when I made an inexperienced move. I was racing in the moment and racing forward. I didn’t take a look back to see that 5th place was a ways behind to know that I could’ve just settled in. Everyone knows 4th place is a very sketchy place to be in in the LCQ, I saw the door was open and went for a pass without intentions of taking the other guy down, by going inside it spooked the other rider to where he was already falling into me before I ever made contact. It was definitely a learning experience for myself that I can only move on from and keep improving every weekend. Sorry to the other rider, but racing is racing and stuff happens, onto next week.”

Anaheim, CA – January 29, 2022

Angels Stadium was home to round 1, 4 and will host round 6 in just a few short weeks.  Located just minutes from factory test tracks, many team office and the mecca of our industry, Anaheim has always been a rider and fan favorite alike.  This season has already seen its fair share of drama, crashes, rivalries and crushed championship dreams; but TPJ Racing Team rider Colby Copp #645 is on the gas and aiming for a Main Event start and gaining some much-needed Championship points.

Colby Copp #645 has 4 rounds under his belt now and he’s continuing to improve and learn new lessons each week.  With only 2 weekends left before the West Coast Championship takes a break; he knows he needs to strike fast at Glendale and Anaheim 3.  Heading into the hiatus with points to his name will make the 6 weeks off easier to bare.

Here’s what Colby had to say about his race: “A2 had lots of positives to take away, in qualifying I had a tough crash that left me pretty sore for the day.  Heat 1 was STACKED, I got a great start and was riding really good and finished 11^th.  In the LCQ I was caught behind the first turn crash then moved my way up then a rider went down right in front of me and I tipped over and had some troubles starting my bike since it fell upside down.  All in all a great night for me and I gave it my best! Back to work to keep moving forward.”

San Diego, CA – January 22, 2022

The San Diego Supercross round has been dedicated to our Men and Women in service for over a decade; so, today we’d like to start by thanking each and every person who has fought for our freedoms and our ability to pursue our dreams.

Colby Copp #645 has made significant progress each week so far this season; but the stacked 250SX West class is proving to be quite the challenge.  Bad starts have kept Colby out of the Main Event so far, but he knows he as the speed to be up top.  During his heat he came from near last to passing TPJ Transport rider Max Stafford on the last lap for 13^th.  Throughout the LCQ, Copp was pushing and attempting to make his way through the pack, but a few crashes and some bad luck kept him watching the Main from the stands.

When asked about the weekend, here’s what he had to say: “I’m feeling great! My fitness and speed is right where it needs to be, I’ve put most of the pieces to my puzzle together just need a couple more and I believe I could be a top contender”.

January 15, 2022 – Oakland, California

The second round of the Monster Energy Supercross series just happened to be Colby’s hometown race.  Hometown races are always extra special with family and friends cheering you on, but there is an added pressure to it as well.

Colby Copp #645 showed up ready for some Main Event action, but a frustrating qualifying position and small crashes ended his night early.  Here’s what he had to say. “Oakland was a great time for me seeing all my friends and family at the races and had so many fans yelling my for me it was awesome! Didn’t qualify the best but heat1 I put myself in a really good spot battling for a transfer position and tucked the front going for a pass, LCQ had a bad start and just got stuck in a bad place.  I showed some great speed being in the mix just need to keep getting better and moving up weekend by weekend!”

January 8, 2022 – Anaheim, California

After a brief hiatus last season, Anaheim makes its return as the Supercross series opener.  All the silly season news, injuries and team changes are finalized and 40+ riders in each class are ready to put it all on the line to make their mark on the 2022 season.

Colby Copp #645 made his Anaheim 1 debut aboard his GasGas MC 250F; here’s what he had to say about the day. “My first ever A1 is in the books! It was a great experience and had some fun, I struggled with the track all day to ride to my full potential, and hit the ground hard a few times but we got in the show and got some more experience! Excited to get back to work on Monday and show up ready for more at my home race in Oakland!”
