Supercross Qualifier
GEICO Powersports/Honda’s Kevin Windham grabbed the holeshot, but as he went into the first corner, San Manuel/ Yamaha’s Josh Hill dove on the inside of Windham, and Hill took the lead. The two battled side by side for most of the first lap, but at the start of lap two, Windham jumped the wall after the whoops, and he took over the lead. Things were getting tight for Justin Brayton as Red Bull/Honda rider Andrew Short battled with him for most of the third lap, but Short finally made the pass stick on lap four. It looked as if Hill was going to finish with a solid second, but he lost his front end as he came around the flat corner, outside the stadium. As Windham took the checkers, he had a 5.7 lead on Short.

Supercross Main Event
As the riders lined up for the 20-lap main event, Ryan Dungey grabbed a massive holeshot aboard his Rockstar Makita Suzuki, and he led the pack through “Monster Alley” to get the Spike holeshot award. MotoConcepts/Yamaha rider Kyle Chisolm was in second coming into the first turn, but Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Chad Reed quickly made a move on him so he could set his sights on Dungey. Dungey started to slowly move away from Reed, but Reed started to reel him back in on the fourth lap. At the same time, Windham had moved his way through the pack as he got up fifth place, and he started to work on Red Bull/Honda’s Davi Millsaps. On the fifth lap, Millsaps and Windham went side by side into the whoops, but Windham had a better drive and he flew by Millsaps.
As the riders hit the halfway point, Dungey started to put a gap on Reed, and he would throw down the fastest lap time of the night. Kyle Cunningham and Andrew short were on the move, and they both got around Millsaps. At the end of the 20 laps, Dungey won the final round of the Monster Energy/AMA and FIM World Championship. Emotional about the loss of Andrew McFarlane, Reed said on the podium, “I really wanted to win that tonight. I had mixed emotions coming into this tonight with my son being born, and my really good friend, Andrew Mcfarlane passing away.”
