Monster Energy
Kawasaki's Ryan
Villopoto once
again landed
on the podium
after a good
battle in the
Supercross Main.
Villopoto has
been putting
his non-human
skills on display
every week,
and this race
was no different
as he put on
a good charge
the entire race,
posted the fastest
lap of the night,
and finished
with a solid
third. There
have been four
different winners
in four races
in this class
- making for
some stiff competition.

Dean Wilson
started the
night strong
with a heat
race win in
the Supercross
Lites West Coast
region. He suffered
from an early-race
crash in the
main, which
put him back
to 18th place.
He quickly remounted
and continued
to battle his
way through
the pack, picking
up valuable
points as he
charged forward.
He finished
10th and still
sits second
in the overall
series points
for his class.

night and ended
the night with
an 8th place
finish.
