THOR MX’s Austin Stroupe Wins First Career AMA Race
Thor’s Austin Stroupe celebrates his first win of his AMA career in Houston.
Since the start of the season, Stroupe has placed in the top 5 in 5 of the 7 west coast rounds, he’s grabbed the hole shot and made the podium 3 times with 1 win. Not bad for a rookie.

Stoupe is now third in the Lites season point standings, with teammate Brett Metcalfe in fourth. Stroupe and Metcalfe will get a break while the AMA heads to the east coast – returning to the west coast in Seattle on April 26th for an exciting fight for the #1 plate.
In the SX main, Thor’s Chad Reed had a rough start and finished the first lap in seventh. He worked his way through the pack, trying to catch up to leader Kevin Windham. Thor’s Josh Hill held onto second for most of the race, until Reed came charging past him on a mission to take over the lead. Windham was too far ahead. Reed finished in second and continues to lead the season point standings by 32.
