Fox showed their support for the continuing tragedy that is unfolding in Japan with red and white gear garnering a butt patch with “Kibo” in Japanese, which means “To Live in Hope.” They also applied Japanese flag heat transfers to the front of the riders’ jerseys.
Justin Brayton suffered a hefty get-off on the first lap of his heat race after a miscue in a rhythm section. He joined Ryan Villopoto in the LCQ and was pushed wide in the first turn along with the 450 points leader. Neither made the main event.
The Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series has its title and supporting sponsors that support the entire road show, but individual stops on tour usually have some regional sponsorship as well. Two of Jacksonville’s big supporters are Metro PCS mobile services and Taco Bell. What we wouldn’t do for a hot sauce costume.

Kevin Windham logged his best finish of the season in Jacksonville with a fourth place in the 450 main event. He picked off Ivan Tedesco just before the midway point, and set his sights on Andrew Short. Shorty just couldn’t hold K-Dub off in the whoops. Windham carried better speed through the giant, rough whoops to take control of fourth and didn’t look back.
