Sin City

It’s over until the nationals start up in 2 weeks. After 17 races over 18 weekends Stewart won the crown by only 4 points over Reed. Supercross this year was one of the best and certainly had enough drama to satisfy any soap opera. Stewart started the series deep in hole and 25 points down. Slowly he won 7 in a row and was leading the series, but then Daytona happened. Reed road a great season and put up one hell of a fight and gave us fans something to look forward to. Here’s the need to know in Vegas…

Stewart won his 2nd supercross championship.

Reed made an aggressive pass on JS around the sweeper, but failed put to him in “Row F” and finished second.

Ryan Villopoto won his second race of the year, only one less than Reed!

Everyone had awesome looking gear, RV, Reed, Wey, Windham, all the Fox riders and Brayton. Stewart had a gold red bull helmet. It’s so nice to see a new lid instead of the same old boring red bull logo.

Dungey tried to make it three in a row, but Pourcel took the win. Dungey took over second when Canard who was leading washed out. He came very close to Pourcel, but made a mistake going into the whoops on the last lap.

The curse has been broken as the east champ won the race for the first time since 2000

Matt Boni took home top privateer after Heath Voss DNF. Hanson wishes he was Boni.

The massive Monster Energy logo behind the podium was HUGE.

Was it me or my TV. I could barley hear Jeff and Ralph talking over the bikes and race announcers.

Reed hinted about racing the outdoors on the podium, saying “for all you true fans you might see me racing in a few weeks”

Stewart yelling in happiness on the podium.
