Monster Energy/Kawasaki’s Chad Reed, of Tampa, Fla., pushed his way into
second place in turn two. Geico Powersports/Honda’s Kevin Windham, who

by lap eight moved into third place, passing Chisholm.
Dungey led all 20 laps en route to victory to cap off his AMA Supercross
championship season. Reed finished second and Windham finished third.

solid race,” said Dungey. “It has been an incredible season, and I am
very proud of the championship.”
Weimer won the Spike Holeshot Award with his teammate’s Dean Wilson and
Christophe Pourcel following in second and third respectively to begin
