Chad Reed Leads Field of Monster Energy® Supercross into AT&T Park

Team San Manuel’s Chad Reed, of Tampa, Fla., and Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan
Dungey, of Belle Plaine, Minn., carry momentum into this weekend’s Monster
Energy® AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, race at San Francisco’s
AT&T Park. Fans can pick up a $10 adult coupon from participating Big O Tires
locations. In addition, a $5 children’s coupon is available at OTD Cyclesports (Bay
Area Motorsports). Pit passes are available at participating 7-Eleven stores.

Media Day will be held Thursday, January 24 from Noon-2:00, featuring Team
Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey, David Vuillemin and Mike Alessi and Team MDK/KTM,
featuring Nick Wey, Billy Laninovich and Justin Brayton. The media day will be held
on the first-base side of the club level.

In capturing his second win of the season, both in Anaheim, Reed took the lead
early in Lap 1 and went the distance, beating Yamaha’s Josh Hill of Yoncalla, Ore.,
by nearly seven seconds last weekend at Angel Stadium. It was the first podium
finish for Hill, who took second on Lap 3 from Alessi. Kevin Windham of
Centreville, Miss., finished third on his Honda.

“I felt awesome out there,” said Reed, who leads the championship standings with
72 points. “The track was a lot of fun. I had a ball with it. My bike is a lot of fun to
ride, and I just need to go out and race and try to get wins.”

Kawasaki rider James Stewart, the defending championship title holder and points
leader heading into Round Three, did not compete in Anaheim last Saturday.
Stewart injured his left knee last week during his win in Phoenix, and after
evaluating the injury following an earlier practice session, Stewart and the team
decided to not compete at Anaheim.

Kawasaki rider Austin Stroupe of Corona, Calif., won the $1,000 Progressive
Holeshot Award but was unable to hold off a hard-charging Dungey, who took the
checkered flag ahead of Broc Hepler of Kittanning, Pa., on his Yamaha. Stroupe
held on for third place. full story on amamotocross.com
