Windham Wins Again in Salt Lake City
SALT LAKE CITY (May 1, 2010) – In
sloppy conditions at Rice-Eccles Stadium, Kevin Windham, of Centerville,
Miss.,
won his second consecutive Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World
Championship, race in front of 38,882 fans that braved the rain and snow
tonight. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Jake Weimer, of Rupert,
Idaho
won the Western Regional AMA Supercross championship, and his teammate
Josh
Hansen, of Elbert, Colo., won the main event, marking the first win of
his
season.
Windham won the Spike Holeshot Award with Honda
Red Bull Racing’s Davi Millsaps, of Murrieta, Calif., on his back wheel
to
start the AMA Supercross class main event. During lap one, Windham and
Millsaps
traded positions a few times before Windham made the final move and rode
15
perfect laps to earn his second consecutive AMA Supercross class win.
Millsaps
finished second and his teammate Andrew Short, of Smithville, Texas,
finished
third.
“I kept my head down and put in 15 great
laps,” said Windham. “The first few laps of the race, Davi (Millsaps)
and I had
a good battle going. I was probably the only rider here today that was
excited
when the rain came because I enjoy these conditions.”
TLD/Lucas Oil/Honda’s Wil Hahn, of Decatur,
Texas, won the Spike Holeshot Award with Hansen in tow. On the opening
lap,
Hansen made his way around Hahn for the lead and rode to victory. Geico
Powersports/Honda’s Trey Canard, of Shawnee, Okla., made a late-race
charge to
pass Hahn on lap 14 to secure second place.
“I don’t even know what to say about this,”
said Weimer. “I have so many people behind me that helped me achieve
this. The
championship is not just for me, it’s for me, my team and my Dad. I want
to
thank my family and friends as well as the fans for coming out and
showing
their support.”
“Tonight I put it together and am really
happy to earn this win,” said Hansen. “It was rough out there in the
rain and
snow and doing the triple was pretty scary.
