It's over and Justin Barcia wins the Monster Energy Cup! Another spectacular race, as Dungey and Barcia came in battling for the overall lead. And they battled right off the start along with Alessi and Tomac. Dungey emerged with the lead and Barcia was second. Then Alessi crashed over a berm. Tomac made the right move by taking the Joker Lane early, while Dungey and Barcia pulled away. Barcia eventually moved into the number-one spot, then Tomac took second when Dungey took the Joker Lane. Late in the race, Barcia had to take it, and when he did Tomac moved past to take over the lead. He would win the race--impressive for a rider who will still race Lites in 2013. But Barcia's second was enough to win the Monster Energy Cup. Dungey finished third.
In the Amateur All-Star Race, Shane McElrath won the first race, but then crashed over a berm in the second turn of the second race. Cooper Webb charged from way back to take third in the race, and that was enough to give him the overall win with 2-3 scores. Adam Cianciarulo crashed in race one and finished fifth, he bounced back to win race two.
In the Supermini Class, Austin Forkner won both races to take the overall.

I still say Barcia will crash and end his season early. I also worry that RV will too. You know Stewart will(if he races at all) and Canard seems to be a sure bet to crash out. I hope I'm wrong...
Bring on a1! Should be fun. Or better yet skip sx and bring on 2013 outdoors! Congrats to Barcia. Hope everyone stays healthy through 2013
Go J-law
Man I hope you're wrong, too. Bummed to see RV bow out cuz I think he's the man to beat. Lots of new talent coming in so its gonna be great racing regardless. woo!
rv quits what a loser you wouldnt see js7 do that
Those super-mini kids are fun to watch but they are too young. Those were some BIG get-offs.
@porcupine
At least, you are winner! Lol
RV has a championship to defend. Racing the 3rd race had zero rewards and lots of risk. Smart move for him to bow out. He showed his speed in the first race. Pretty amazing to come back after 6 months off the bike and set the fastest lap/laps of the night. I dont think Barcia will crash out. I think he will crash but thats to be expected for his rookie season. I think he do very well regardless. Just like he says he is more comfortable on the 450 and after seeing him and MXON and now MEC I think that shows true.
bull if js7 quit like that you would be all over it
Dugney will be a 5th place guy all year... It's nothing wrong with his bike...

So Ollie, he was just reaching down and yanking on his shift lever two stories high just to look cool? Wow you must have watched your first race tonight. Don't worry, you'll figure it out eventually.
Phaggots in here talking crap about Ryan after he hit his head and decided to make a standard safety call.
Ryan came back after not racing forever and won his first race back and was leading the second one.
Flame on phags.
You're only hating because he is number one just like it says on his front and side plates.
I can understand rv2 crashed pretty good but it wasn't that bad.. I don't wanna be a critic or nothing but after the million and the hundred grand gone I quit???? Common I hate how money has started to impact this sport. I'm not a type of person to puss out or quit but rv2 you pretty much reminded me of #7 why?? It's racing if you can ride race!! We need more Ryno Hughes here people!!!

@duc996 RD is still a 5th place guy at his best..
@RCRDDW: i pretty much agree myself. i hope barcia doesnt crash out but canard will himself. i dont wish any of them bad luck.
When RV didn't race the last race I thought,damn he starting to act like JS7.His crash didn't look that bad.But when they did that last interview with him after the race I'm starting to think that if they had asked him what his name was.I'm not so sure that he could of told them what his name was.
Bottom line is if its smart for RV to sit out then its smart for Bubba too. Bubbles would have got crucified if he had done what RV did last night.
Did anyone actually see a bent shifter on Dungeys KTM? I figured a spring let go in the tranny.
JB51 was the fastest most consistent man on this night!!! He will be giving them all fits in 2013...keep the excuses comin for RV2 & RD5...they are gonna need them!!!
So guys.........how do you think JB would of done if he had the kind of trouble RD had? 2nd?
would have, could have....thats just speculation...JB51 has had his share of mechanical difficulties...hes charged thru a broken front brake to take a win(sx lites east 2011) and hes also rode a broken front wheel until it seized as recently as MDN....but having the drive to push thru stuff like that is only part of the equation....Bam Bam had the winning combo of starts, raw speed, consistency and in this case...saving the bike...I cant really say where he would have finished "if" but I will say with the group of people he has around him(Family, Shcnikey, Am. Honda) and his will to win. Expect to alot more of that...Fits I say...FITS!!!!
@Dunny450. Would you go to your job and do it still if you were not going to get paid? People forget that this is what this is to these riders. Its their job. They are not out there to please you. You dont like what RV did last night go be a different riders fan. RV's true fans understand why he did not race the 3rd moto and stand by his decision. He has a championship to defend and a possibillity to do what only McGrath and Carmichael have done and that is to win the SX 3 times in a row. He would be the fist to do so on a 450.
js7 was not going to get paid if he raced but rv is you rv fans cant bash js7. not good when you dont race bc your scared to get hurt they should race bc they love to race
It really appeared to me that RV was rattled after his crash. He seemed to be a bit disoriented. Watch it again. It was pretty obvious to me. Sometimes when you crash, it is worse than it would appear. And I was amazed that his bike didn't stall. Got back on and took off after quite a while, all things considered. And to the people defending JS7, this is an isolated incident with RV and moreso the norm when it comes to JS7. Would be hard to disagree with that. Not hatin' that is just the way I see it. It is what it is.
