James Stewart used a Ryan Villopoto mistake to blitz the field en route to his second win of the season, while in the process throwing down the second fastest lap time of the night with a 47.432 on his second lap of the race.

While Villopoto utlimatley made the mistake that would cost him the race he still managed to set the track a blaze with the fastest lap time of the night (47.285), besting Stewart by a slim margin.
Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Brett Metcalfe had his best finish of the season thus far (fifth place) which coincidently coincided with his best lap time finish of the season—fifth. With this past Wednesday being Australia day, maybe five was just a lucky number for the Aussi—if only it would have been round four instead of five. Oh well.

Josh Hansen once again put down the fastest lap of the night with a 47.933 (more on his lap time later). While I'm sure Josh would have liked to have won the race, at least he can take some solace in setting the fastest lap of the night.
Tickle captured his first victory since Seattle last year, in Oakland.

Broc Tickle bested teammate Josh Hansen on way to his first victory since Seattle last year and his second career SX victory. Tickle put down the fourth fastest lap of the night with a 48.282.
There were only four riders to have a best lap under 48 seconds and two of those four were Lites riders--the other two being Villopoto and Stewart. Josh Hansen and Germany wunderkid Ken Roczen both managed to put down fast laps under the 48-second mark. Not only were those laps the two fastest laps put down in the Lites class, but it would have placed Hansen and Roczen third and fourth respectfully in the AMA Supercross class. Impressive.
