James Stewart rallies from back of pack to first-ever win at the RCA Dome
After scoring the ,500 Progressive Direct Holeshot Award, Chad Reed (Yamaha) began to establish a huge lead as Stewart started near the back of the pack. Stewart started his chase on Reed immediately, moving into second place on lap seven. On lap 14 Stewart passed Reed for lead and rode to victory. Reed finished second and Tim Ferry (Kawasaki) finished third.
"I had a great start tonight" said Reed. "It was a lot of riding up front, but I need to be more aggressive out there."
"I was a little nervous when I saw Chad out front, and I was so far back in the pack," said Stewart. "I have worked hard for everything for my entire life, and that’s what I did tonight, worked hard. I am so happy right now."
Dungey won the US$ 1,000 Progressive Direct Holeshot Award to start the AMA Supercross Lites main event. Through turn one, Ben Townley (Kawasaki) came out in second place and followed Dungey for all 15 laps where they finished first and second respectively. Series points leader Ryan Morais (Suzuki) used a mid-pack start to salvage points heading into next weekend’s race in Dallas.
"This was a huge win for me," said Dungey. "I have had some bad luck lately, and to pick up this win is huge for me and my team, who has been behind me all year. “I have to use this as momentum for next weekend in Dallas."
