The 2011 East Coast Supercross season had treated Geico Honda's Justin Barcia pretty well, and he came out with the number one plate at the end of the season.

Grant Langston has made his way back into Supercross by becoming a team manager for the new Ohlins/Langston Motorsports/KTM team. The team has been in works for a few months, but Langston decided that he would unveil his new Lites team—consisting of Les Smith, AJ Catanzaro, and Taylor Futrell—for the first round of the East Coast so he had more time to prepare. Once the racing started in Dallas, Smith was able to make it to the main, and he came out with a 16th place finish.
Ryan Villopoto continues to carry the points lead heading into Atlanta.
