Reed Races to Monster Energy Supercross Win at Dodger Stadium

LOS ANGELES (January 21, 2012) - TwoTwo Motorsports' Chad Reed won the Supercross Class main event at tonight's Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, at Dodger Stadium before 35,741 fans, marking his first win of the season. GEICO Honda's Eli Tomac also captured his first Western Regional Supercross Lites Class main event win of the season.

After winning the Nuclear Cowboyz Holeshot, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Jake Weimer held the lead position until being passed by Reed on Lap 6. Toyota/Yamaha/JGRMX's James Stewart made a pass on Weimer for second place, and during the pass, Weimer crashed, falling to 14th place.

Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey, who won last weekend's race in Phoenix, settled into fourth place behind Stewart. Dungey was able to capitalise on a crash by Stewart on Lap 12 as he took over the number three position.

Reed earned his 41st Supercross Class main event and third consecutive podium finish of the season. Dungey, who finished second, has also been on the podium at every race this season and now sits in the points lead. Stewart finished a season-best third place.

"I have been trying to figure out what I have been doing wrong this year," said Reed. "I switched to a tyre that I used last year and it worked. I am going to keep trying to get better each week. I will take the good with the bad and keep moving forward."

In the Western Regional Supercross Lites Class main event, Tomac quickly passed Nuclear Cowboyz Holeshot winner Martin Davalos, of the Rockstar Suzuki team, shortly after turn one and rode flawlessly for the next 15 laps. On lap 6, Monster Energy Yamaha's Zach Osborne, of Chesterfield, S.C., passed Davalos, for the number two position. While riding in third place, Davalos crashed and lost several positions before reentering the race.

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Dean Wilson, who won last weekend's main event in Phoenix, passed Osborne on lap 12, where he would finish. Wilson currently sits in second place. Osborne earned a career-best third-place finish.

Tomac's win marked the third of his career, and he is now the Western Regional Supercross Lites Class points leader, one point ahead of Wilson.

"I was able to sneak into the lead and ride 15 solid laps," said Tomac. "It's a night and day difference when you get a good start. I should have been getting starts like this all season."

CBS will broadcast the Supercross class race at 12:00pm EST on Sunday January 22, 2012.

Racing resumes next Saturday at Oakland's O.com Coliseum.
