The Dallas Track is quite strange in a lot of ways. Expect quite a few crashes tonight.

Practice is complete here in Arlington, Texas. The track is hard and slick, which means consistency will be just as critical as all-out speed. But if you want to know who is fastest, in the Supercross Class, it was Ryan Dungey, who topped the charts with a 48.623 lap, ahead of Davi Millsaps’ 49.359, Ryan Villopoto’s 49.554 and Kevin Windham’s 49.571. Justin Brayton looks rejuvenated after his thumb injury in Daytona, he was fifth with a 49.931.
Trey Canard was sixth fastest, with new 450 entrant Kyle Regal seventh on his Valli Motorsports bike. Regal missed last week’s race while preparing to switch from a 250 to a 450, and so far it looks like a good move. Josh Hill, Ivan Tedesco and Kyle Chisholm rounded out the top ten.
The top of the leader board changed consistently in practice, too, as Dungey didn’t log his fast times until late. Surely several riders are confident they can get in victory lane tonight.
