Kevin Windham RacerX Interview -ozzy go-
Monday Conversation with Kevin Windham Feb. 18, 2008
Coming into the Houston Supercross, Torco Racing Fuels Honda’s
Kevin Windham hadn’t won a supercross main event since the
2005 season-opening mud race at Anaheim I. Over three years
later, Windham became the first rider to beat Chad Reed in a
main event since James Stewart vacated the series before round
three, proving that there’s still a lot of fight in the old dog yet.
interview on racerxill.com
Torco Racing Fuels Honda Race Report: Houston Supercross
HOUSTON, Tex. – Torco Racing Fuels Honda and the team’s star rider Kevin
Windham had a breakthrough at the Houston, Texas round of the AMA
Supercross Championship. Windham is one of only two riders to have finished
every single main event so far in the top five, but in Houston, Windham took a
big leap forward, winning his first AMA Supercross main event of the season.
Windham started near the front in the main event and took over the lead when
Davi Millsaps crashed on lap two. From there, Windham led the remaining 19
laps. It was the 13th AMA Supercross win of his career, moving him past Ezra
Lusk and David Bailey to 12th on the all-time Supercross win list.
“It was a tough race, because it would’ve been easy to let your mind wander,
and I stayed focused,” Windham said. “When Chad [Reed] was in second, I
felt like I was inching away. I’m thankful for my team, Torco Racing Fuels
Honda, and Planet Fitness, and Amsoil, No Fear Energy, and Jeff Spencer. All
of those guys came together. There are a lot of pieces to the puzzle, and they
all came together for this.”
Windham’s win further solidified his spot at second in the championship, and
actually moved him up three points closer to Reed for the championship lead
with 10 races still left to run.
The Lites class also saw success for the Torco Racing Fuels Honda squad, as
Phoenix winner Jake Weimer got a start near the front of the pack, and then
fought it out with the leaders on his way to a solid third-place podium finish.
“I got a pretty decent start, and then on the first lap, I was like third or fourth
– I was towards the front – and I wasn’t able to do the finish line and got
passed like three times,” Weimer said of the start of the race. “Then, there
were a bunch of us going back and forth, and Dungey went by me. Then, he
made a mistake, and I went back by him, and then he got back by me, then
he made another mistake and I went back by him, and then I never saw him
again.” full story on racerxill.com - pics from tedescophoto.com
Jason Lawrence Places 2nd at Houston – Puts 6 Points On Dungey For WSX Title
Monster Energy-backed Jason Lawrence (Yamaha of Troy) has taken
an eight-point deficit with three Western Supercross Lites class rounds
to go and turned it into a six- point lead in his favor, placing 2nd this
past weekend at Houston’s Reliant Stadium – Round Seven of 2008
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship.
Lawrence, who trailed Ryan Dungey by as much as 34 points after
Anaheim 2, has been all over Dungey in the past several races,
winning three in a row (before Houston) while Dungey has struggled.
“I think my A-game is being smart,” said Lawrence from the podium.
“Dungey can win it (the final WSX race) by a mile and I’ll still win the
title.”
Lawrence, who had the fastest practice time (47.516) and was nearly
a half second faster than Dungey in the main event as well (48.246
to 48.726), led the contest early then seceded the lead to the hard-
charging Monster Energy-backed rookie Austin Stroupe.
“Congratulations to Austin on his first win,” said Lawrence.
Lawrence and the rest of the WSX Lites racers will have to gut out a
two-plus month wait until the WSX resumes in Seattle (April 26th).
“Whatever,” said Lawrence when asked of the time off. “Doesn’t
effect me a bit. I’m just going to get out and start training for the
Outdoor Nationals.”
Next up for the Monster Energy Supercross Western Lites
Championship is the April 26th finals in Seattle.

Thor’s Austin Stroupe celebrates his first win of his AMA career in Houston
Since the start of the season, Stroupe has placed in the top 5 in 5
of the 7 west coast rounds, he’s grabbed the hole shot and
made the podium 3 times with 1 win. Not bad for a rookie.
In the Lites class, it was a five-way battle for the lead. Ryan
Dungey, Jason Lawrence, Jake Weimer, Thor’s Brett Metcalfe and
Thor’s Austin Stroupe made the race exciting and unpredictable.
Dungey started off in the lead, then lost it after stumbling in the
whoops. Stroupe then caught up to the top 4 and worked his way
through the pack, passing Lawrence for the lead on lap 6. It was
a close battle between Stroupe and Lawrence, but Stroupe stayed
in front and landed his first career AMA win!
Stoupe is now third in the Lites season point standings, with
teammate Brett Metcalfe in fourth. Stroupe and Metcalfe will get a
break while the AMA heads to the east coast – returning to the
west coast in Seattle on April 26th for an exciting fight for the #1
plate.
In the SX main, Thor's Chad Reed had a rough start and finished
the first lap in seventh. He worked his way through the pack,
trying to catch up to leader Kevin Windham. Thor's Josh Hill held
onto second for most of the race, until Reed came charging past
him on a mission to take over the... full story on thormx.com
KTM Race Report: Houston Supercross
MDK KTM Factory rider, Nick Wey, continued his streak of top ten finishes with
a 9th overall at the 7th round of the AMA Supercross Series at Reliant Stadium.
MDK KTM Factory rider Nick Wey started mid-pack in his heat and worked his
way up into 8th to transfer to the main.
In the Supercross main event Wey got a good start coming around the first
turn inside the top ten. By the end of the first lap he was in 8th. For the
remainder of the race he battled with riders for the 7th place position. He rode
a smooth and consistent race to finish within the top ten, where he has been
for the majority of the season. At the end of the race Wey was able to hold on
to 9th place overall and he now currently sits 8th in overall series points.
Both MDK KTM Lites riders, Billy Laninovich and Justin Brayton, were lined up
for Heat #2 of the Lites Supercross class.
The teammates took off at the gate drop and came side by side around the
first turn. They stayed together as they rounded the track for the first lap.
Unfortunately they tangled together with a couple other riders near the end of
the first lap. Laninovich remounted a lap down but Brayton was unable to
finish due to an injured wrist he suffered in the crash.
In the LCQ, Laninovich got out front and led the race to take the win and
qualify to the main event. Brayton was forced to sit out the rest of the evening
due to the wrist injury from the Heat race crash (the severity of the injury is
undetermined at this time).
In the Supercross Lites Main Billy Laninovich came around last on the start and
was forced to work his way through the pack to get up front where he
belongs. In a hard fought battle he eventually worked his way into 13th for the
night as the checkered flag dropped. ktmpress.com

Ryan Dungey finally fourth at Reliant Park
Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey will be taking off a few
months as the next and final round of the class will not be
held until late April. In the weekend’s race, young Dungey
was again extraordinarily fast in practice and in his heat race,
where he took the win. In the 15-lap main, Dungey got the
holeshot and was battling for the lead when he crashed twice.
In spite of this, he still charged hard on his Rockstar Makita
Suzuki RM-Z250 to bring home a strong fourth-place finish.
“This weekend started out pretty good. We were fastest in
the first practice session and then I won my heat race. In the
main, I got a great start on the Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-
Z250 and got the holeshot. I got passed but then I took over
the lead again. Then, I made a little mistake and went down.
I tried to push and catch those guys in front and went down
again. At that point, I just put my head down and tried to get
as many points as possible. I admit I’m a little disappointed
with how things have gone in these last few races. But we’re
still in the hunt for the championship and that’s what counts.
We have a lot of time between now and the last round in
Seattle, so I’m just going to focus on doing my program and
being positive.” full story on teamsuzuki.com

Red Riders Race Report: Houston Supercross Lites
The Torco Racing Fuels Honda team had to be happy in Houston.
First of all there was Windham’s win, but in the Lites class, both
Dan Reardon and Jake Weimer had good showings in the first
heat. Reardon finished third, with Weimer in fifth. In the main,
the two riders’ positions switched. Weimer got an excellent start,
rounding the first lap in third, while Reardon was back in 14th.
Reardon began his march forward, riding through some tough
traffic but eventually battling his way up to a respectable sixth.
Weimer, on the other hand, was slugging it out with the fastest
riders in the field, passing, getting passed, and repassing in the
earliest laps. By lap four he was in a solid fourth, where he rode
most of the race. But on the last lap, Weimer had come within
striking distance of Brian Metcalfe. Metcalfe crashed, and Weimer
took over third. Yet the race was far from over. Within sight of
the finish, Weimer himself went down, but kept his bike running
and remounted without losing a spot—a well-earned third place
for the Torco Racing Fuels Honda rider! hondaredriders.com
Austin Stroupe Gets First Win in Houston
In only his seventh supercross race, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/
Kawasaki rider Austin Stroupe stood on the top step of the
podium after earning his first career AMA Supercross Lites win.
His teammate Brett Metcalfe finished fifth. In the Monster Energy
AMA Supercross, an FIM Championship main event, Monster
Energy Kawasaki’s Timmy Ferry earned his third straight podium,
finishing third at Reliant Stadium. Travis Preston finished 20th.
Everything is Bigger in Texas
They say everything is “Bigger in Texas” and nothing was bigger
on Saturday night than the ride by Stroupe to win his first race as
a professional. The 17-year-old rider used a good start to get
near the front of the field before taking the lead for good on lap
six. The win moves Stroupe to third in the series’ standings just
one point ahead of his teammate Metcalfe.
“It feels awesome,” said Stroupe. “When I saw the checkered flag
it was great. Near the end of the race I was just trying to get
good lap times and stay loose. I felt good coming into the season
and it just is awesome to get a win. It has been tough all season
and I’m just stoked.”
Three Times a Podium
For the third straight week, Ferry put his Kawasaki KX™450F on
the podium. After getting caught in traffic on the first lap, Ferry
fought his way through the pack to finish third. Ferry continues to
hold down the third spot in the championship standings.
“It was a good night,” said Ferry. “Third was just my spot. It was
a good ride and three podiums in a row keeps us up in the points.
I had to make some block passes in the corner after the short set
of whoops. It was tricky out there. It was rough and bumpy and
some of the ruts were down to the concrete floor. The track
challenged us and that is good for me.”
Fifth Place Finish
After finishing second in his heat race, Metcalfe carried that
momentum in the AMA Supercross Lites main event. Metcalfe
never ran lower than third until the last lap when he went down
on his own. Metcalfe quickly recovered to finish fifth. “It’s real
disappointing,” said Metcalfe. “It would have been nice to get
another podium. My front end washed out and that was it. I was
just trying too hard and I tried to get through that turn a little
better. Before the last lap the race was going well. After I went
down I was able to salvage a fifth but I it could have finished
much better.”
Something Spoke
For Preston, a broken spoke ended his night early. While battling
in traffic on the fourth lap, Preston and another rider made
contact and the foot-peg from the other bike broke a couple of
spokes on the front wheel. Preston wasn’t able to continue and
finished 20th.
“I got together with someone and their peg broke a couple of my
spokes,” said Preston. “Right now I need all the laps I can get so
it’s not good to pull off early. I was riding pretty good but I still
need to get better starts.”

Reed maintains podium record with 2nd position in Houston
San Manuel Yamaha rider Chad Reed saw his run of five
consecutive victories come to an end in Houston for the seventh
round of seventeen in the 2008 AMA Supercross series, a FIM
World Championship, but the Australian continued his 100%
podiumrecord with second position and guards a 32 point lead in
the competition.
The 42nd Supercross in Houston did not witness a fourth straight
sweep for Yamaha in both classes even though Jason Lawrence
did also climb the rostrum in second spot in the Lites West Coast
category to remain poised at the top of the standings with one
round to go.
In 1974 Pierre Karsmakers marked Yamaha’s first success in
Houston and the manufacturer has enjoyed thirteen more
triumphs since then, Reed himself contributing two of those.
In a so-far-dominant campaign the number ‘22’ was not able to
increase his season statistics at the Reliant Stadium. Kevin
Windham, who helped design the short layout, gained his first 25
points of the year after taking the lead on the first lap and
setting the pace at the front. Reed, who had started badly, pulled
through the pack to pass brand-mate Josh Hill and secure second
place at mid-race distance but could not close to Windham’s rear
wheel. Tim Ferry was third.
That’s a tough one to swallow. I gave it everything I’ve got.
Kevin rode a good race, and I want to congratulate him but this is
a disappointment,” said Reed, who took his third career runner-
up position at Houston and has never dropped out of the top
three at the event.
“It was just one of those nights,” added the 25 year old who has
totalled 31 victories and became the first racer to win all the
Californian rounds with his chequered flag last week in San Diego.
“Once I got into second, I couldn’t cut into Kevin’s lead. We’ve
had a good season, and it’s still good to be up on the podium.”
18 year old Hill was running as high as second before being
overtaken by Reed and Ferry. With Broc Hepler and Grant
Langston still absent with physical ailments (broken hand and
an eye problem respectively) the teenager produced a positive
showing for his second best result of the season so far.
In the Lites category Yamaha of Troy’s Jason Lawrence again
made the podium for the fourth meeting in succession. His
second position on the YZ250F behind Austin Stroupe and some
costly mistakes by title rival Ryan Dungey means that the 20
year old stretched his advantage in the championship by five
points, to six in total. The final round of the West coast series will
take place on 26th April in Seattle as the East coast championship
now cranks into life.
“I think that might be my main advantage, being smart –
something Dungey hasn’t been all year. That’s four races in a row
that he’s crashed out,” said Lawrence. “He’s handing me this title,
and I’ve got one more race to hold it together. I’m going to go to
that race and do exactly what I did right here. Dungey can win it
by a mile, but I’m going to get the title.”
The schedule refuses to ease for the riders and teams and they
continue onto Atlanta for round eight next weekend. yamaha-

Red Riders Race Report: Houston AMA Supercross class
Minutes before the Houston Supercross this weekend, a tornado
touched down not far from the track, and the winds were strong
enough to rip the awnings off several of the factory semis parked
in the pits, including that of the Honda Torco Racing Fuels truck—
the team was undoubtedly upset.
Shortly thereafter a tornado of another type entirely touched
down on the track: Honda Torco Racing Fuels Kevin Windham on
his Honda CRF450R. This CRF450R-powered storm flat blew away
every other bike on the track, and gave K-Dub a well-deserved
win in the premier class.
The Houston track, while built by Dirt Wurx, had been designed
by Windham as well. Windham actually drove to the event, living
just five hours from Houston. The track didn’t give Windham any
advantage, though. After the race, number 14 commented, “Man,
I screwed up. I should’ve built this track like my track at home.”
In the first heat races of the night, Honda Red Bull Racing rider
Davi Millsaps was once again right up front, finishing second and
followed closely by teammate Andrew Short. The Millsaps/Short
rivalry isn’t talked about much in the press, but this year it’s
providing fans with some of the best, closest racing on the track.
Millsaps was injured for much of the Motocross season last year,
while Short came within a race of winning the National
Championship.
In the second heat, it was all about Windham, the Centreville,
Mississippi rider scoring an easy win. A heat win is nice, but
everyone kicks it up a notch when the main comes around.
When the gate dropped in the main, it was Honda Red Bull
Racing’s Davi Millsaps with another great holeshot, the second in
two races. Millsaps lit out and rode hard, serving notice that this
was going to be a gloves-off fight right from the first turn. With
Windham right behind, it was Honda one-two for the first lap.
It’s tough to fall in the first laps of a race: the pack is so close
and dense that a downed rider can lose a dozen positions in only
a second. That’s what happened to Millsaps, and by the time he
was up and rejoined the race it was in 20th position.
Andrew Short, meanwhile, had also gotten an excellent start,
completing the first lap in fourth, and then moving up into third
when Millsaps fell. Short held that position until lap eight, riding
in front of series leader Chad Reed. As the leaders began to
approach lapped traffic, though, there was some reshuffling of
the second, third, fourth, and fifth-place riders. Eventually Short
ended up in fifth, where he finished.
Millsaps had begun his charge back, passing three and four
riders per lap. By lap nine, he’d moved from last to ninth. As
you move up in the pack, though, it gets tougher and tougher to
pass, and Millsaps had to settle for an eight-place finish: still
remarkable considering his first-lap mishap.
As for Windham, he just checked out, riding flawlessly and
never challenged once for the lead. “When I got to the lappers
early, Chad [Reed] was in second, I thought to myself, ‘Man,
this is the pivotal point of the race. If I don’t get through these
guys, that’s going to be his chance to tighten up.’ I mean, that
was really the race for me. There were a lot of little steps, but
when you’re racing guys...” full story on hondaredriders.com

Windham finally gets one over Reed
The winning streak of Australia’s Supercross star Chad Reed has
come to an end but his podium record remains in tact after he
finished second at Round 7 of the Monster Energy® AMA Supercross,
an FIM World Championship, at Houston’s Reliant Stadium tonight
behind Supercross stalwart Kevin Windham.
Reed didn’t get the start he needed on the extremely hard to pass
track and was mid pack as he went through Turn 1. In a precarious
position, Reed was forced to ride cautiously through the first few laps
while the mayhem around him settled down.
By Lap 9 the championship leader had worked his way up to third
and moved into second on Lap 10, after an amazing passing
manoeuvre on Joshua Hill coming out of Turn 3.
Once into second place, Reed was able to pick up the pace and was
lapping half a second quicker than the race leader. Unfortunately
with the gap between them already at over 8 seconds, Reed simply
ran out of time to chase Windham down before the chequered flag.
“This is a tough pill to swallow,” said Reed. “I gave it everything I
had tonight, but Kevin (Windham) rode a great race. We have had a
good season, and we will have to put it together in Atlanta next
weekend.”
“I knew if I didn’t get a good start it was always going to be very
hard to pass but I got sandwiched off the start then had to ride a
little cautiously for the first couple of laps while things settled down.”
“I am disappointed, as I feel like I should be winning these races but
some of the issues that we have been experiencing seemed to catch
up with me tonight.” full story on mcnews.com.au

Windstorm -ozzy go- theweege.blogspot.com
Back when Kevin Windham first broke into the pro ranks
with Yamaha, they ran an ad campaign harkening back to
the days of Bob "Hurricane" Hannah. After each win, they
rang up the Kevin "Windstorm" Windham nickname in hopes
of creating another Hurricane. Well, now I get the chance to
get all poetic and symbolic and deep.
A giant windstorm swept through Texas last night, enough
to trash most teams' tents and apparently knock out power
transformers all over the area. It was also enough to
ground us in the Houston airport this morning, and now we
are stuck in Charlotte after our whole flight schedule got
jacked up. The weather forecasters were actually right this
time, since they were predicting these winds. Same for the
forecasters who predicted the Windstorm would plow
through the supercross field. Last weekend, Kevin Windham
only notched fifth and never quite got to the same level he
was on at Anaheim 3. But everyone was still calling the #14
for Houston. He designed the track, he had tons of fans
from his native Louisianna heading in to cheer him, and
then he threw down a faster lap than Chad Reed in the final
qualifying session. full story on theweege.blogspot.com
