This Week in Monster Energy Supercross: San Diego

Motocross

AURORA, Ill. (February 3, 2010)
Not since 2003 has Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, seen three different riders in four races earn victories in the premier AMA Supercross class. As Monster Energy Supercross heads into San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium tomorrow night several riders will look for the opportunity to join 2010 AMA Supercross class winners James Stewart, Ryan Dungey and Ryan Villopoto as the fifth stop of the championship unfolds in sunny Southern California.

Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki’s Dungey, of Belle Plain, Minn., carries an 11-point lead over San Manuel Yamaha’s Josh Hill, of Yoncalla, Ore., into Qualcomm Stadium. Dungey, who is competing in his rookie year of AMA Supercross class racing, leads the field in wins with two. Hill is the lone rider for the San Manuel Yamaha team after his teammate and defending AMA Supercross class champion James Stewart underwent surgery to repair a broken scaphoid in his right wrist last week. Hill has back-to-back second place finishes and is eager to pick up his first win of 2010.
