Phoenix SX Super Spoiler Race Report

And just like that, KTM has a win in AMA Supercross. Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey checked the heck out early after a holeshot in Phoenix and cruised to the win. Jake Weimer rode solid in second for his first career SX podium on his Monster Energy Kawasaki. Crazy stuff behind that, as Ryan Villopoto went down on the first lap and was last. He came all the way back to third, passing Kevin Windham late. Chad Reed took fifth, but he was passed by Villopoto during RV’s march to the front. At one point, James Stewart crashed while trying to move into the top five. Stewart ended up eighth.

In the Lites class, Dean Wilson erased a bad night at Anaheim with a dominating ride for the win in Phoenix. He took the early lead away from his teammate Tyla Rattray and set sail on his Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki. Rattray then had a battle with Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin, and Musquin made the pass and got into second. Wilson pulled away from there.

Behind them, Eli Tomac set some blistering laps in his heat race, but got a terrible start in the main and had to come from about 15^th. He caught up to a big battle between Travis Baker, Jason Anderson, Martin Davalos and last week’s winner Cole Seely. Seely and Tomac moved past that group and set their sights on fourth place Zach Osborne. They both got Osborne, and then Tomac made the move on Seely for fourth. He passed Seely with a bump and run, and then the both went after the podium, but ran out of time. Rattray hung tough in third, with Musquin in second and Wilson snagging the win. Tomac and Seely rounded out the top five.
