Photo By Simon CubbySeattle is know for rain and grunge and although we didn’t have any rain we sure had some exciting racing that smells like teen spirit.(whatever that means). The 15 round was the return of the west coast and hometown boy Ryan Villopoto. RV was coming back from an illness that kept him away from the last five weeks and the odds were stacked against him. Who in there right mind would have thought some else beside Stewart or Reed would have won? Villopoto did!!! In his first 450 supercross season he won in front of his hometown crowd, something that has eluded him outdoors at his home track at Washougal. Alessi pulled the holeshot (big pattern here) and lead alot of the race before falling and handing the lead over to he’s arch rival RV. Villopoto held onto the lead on the sandy Seattle track until the flames shot out of the finish line. Where was Stewart and Reeds epic battle? Well Reed took a soil sample before the first turn after colliding with Tyler Bowyers and Stewart got a bad start and was outside the top 10. Stewart had tough time coming through the pack and would settle for second after a pass on Millsap’s. Davi rode a great race and thanks to his agent, trainer, finance, and pet dog gave it 110%. Reed was trying to shake the cobwebs out and could only muster a 7th place finish surrendering his points lead to Stewart and leaving Seattle 3 points down.
The 250 west coast guys are back and so is the 2nd championship hunt. Could Dungey keep it together to finally win the crown or would he throw it away like last year? Thankfully for Dungey his buddy J-law was suspended again, this time for taking out Helpler and showing him the middle finger a couple of times in Jacksonville. The troy lee design’s team was in full effect and all made the night show. Weimer was clearly off Dungey’s pace and looked a little bit out of sync since last time we saw him. The gate dropped and Jimmy Albertson grabed the holeshot and was quickly passed by Dungey. Dungey held on for the win while Weimer would have a bad start and worked his way up to 4th. Morais rode a great race finishing second and so did last years champ coming in third after a fall.
