Champions do what they do best—win. And that’s what the 2015 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champion Ryan Dungey did at the inaugural Supercross race at Levis Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The Red Bull KTM riders seventh win of the year, marked the most he has ever had in a season and he has no plans of stopping any time soon.
“It doesn’t stop there,” Dungey said. “Last weekend was awesome, wrapping it up early was definitely great as far as it not coming down to the wire in Vegas. We’ve got the main objective wrapped up, but still these race wins are important. I enjoyed last week. I enjoyed all week, but this week I wanted to come out swinging. There’s still a lot to accomplish ahead. I want to keep focused on that.”
GEICO Honda’s Eli Tomac overcame a bad start to finish second ahead of JGR Yamaha’s Weston Peick who earned his first podium of year. In fourth was Rockstar Husqvarna’s Jason Anderson. Behind Anderson was fellow Supercross rookies Cole Seely (Team HRC Honda) and Yoshimura Suzuki’s Blake Baggett.
BTO Motorsports KTM’s Justin Brayton was seventh. TwoTwo Motorsport’s Chad Reed rebounded to finish eighth after crashing out of second early on. Brayton’s teammate Andrew Short was ninth ahead of Nick Wey on a Kawasaki.
