Millsaps Races to First Win of 2010 in San Diego
Weimer Re-Asserts Dominance with Supercross Lites Victory
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (February 6, 2010) After a
day filled with rain, a well-groomed track greeted riders
inside San Diegos Qualcomm Stadium for the fifth
round of the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an
FIM World Championship. 51,843 Southern California fans
braved the weather as Davi Millsaps, of Murrieta, Calif.,
captured the AMA Supercross class victory. Monster Energy/Pro
Circuit/Kawasakis Jake Weimer, of Rupert, Idaho,
won his fourth AMA Supercross Lites class victory in
five races of the Western Regional Championship.
As the gates dropped on the premier AMA Supercross class
main event, Monster Energy Kawasakis Nick Wey,
of Murrieta, Calif., grabbed the SPIKE Holeshot Award,
followed by Honda Red Bull Racings Andrew Short,
of Smithville, Texas, and Valli Motorsports Yamahas
Ivan Tedesco, of Murrieta, Calif. In the first corner,
points leader and Rockstar/Makita Suzuki rider Ryan
Dungey, of Belle Plaine, Minn., lost his rear wheel
and fell, collecting several other riders. After remounting
mid-pack, Dungey fell again heading to the finish-line
double and dropped to the tail end of the field. At
the front, Millsaps made his move for the lead on lap
three and never looked back. San Manuel Yamahas
Josh Hill, of Carlsbad, Calif., finished second while
Tedesco brought home third.
Yeah it was a good night for me, said Millsaps.
I came out on top. American Honda is the best
crew in world. The tack was slick. You had to just be
smooth, consistent and make no mistakes and thats
what I did. It was such an amazing race and I cant
explain how good it feels.
As the AMA Supercross Lites class blasted out of the
gates, GEICO Powersports Hondas Trey Canard, of
Shawnee, Okla., grabbed the SPIKE Holeshot Award with
Weimer and teammate Blake Wharton, of Pilot Point, Texas,
in second and third, respectively. Canard found trouble
and went down on the first lap, allowing Weimer to get
by and lead the rest of the way, inching closer to the
Western Regional title.
Yeah it was a good night, said Weimer. I
was able to get a good start right behind Trey (Canard)
and unfortunately he went down. I was able to get by
and I just tried to be consistent from there. The track
was definitely tricky but it held up well.
Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil Hondas Cole Seely,
of Newbury Park, Calif., earned his best-career finish
in second while teammate Wil Hahn, of Decatur, Texas,
finished third.
Dungey currently holds a four-point advantage over Hill
in the AMA Supercross standings while Weimer leads Canard
by 26 points.
