San Diego 450 Supercross Results

San Diego 450 Supercross Results: Everything changed but the finishing order at round two of the Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Series inside San Diego, California’s Petco Park. Instead of the slick, unforgiving surface at round one, San Diego’s rain-drenched track actually came together really well, providing plenty of traction for the world’s top 450cc racers. But in the end, Honda’s Ken Roczen took home the victory for the second time, followed to the line by Red Bull KTM teammates Ryan Dungey and Marvin Musquin just like last week. The difference was that this time Roczen didn’t cruise home over 16 seconds in front of Dungey, but rather had to fend Dungey off for the win on the final lap. Things are getting closer, but nobody has figured out how to beat Roczen just yet.

Dungey was fastest in qualifying, and he got out front right away in the main event after his teammate, Musquin, took an off-track excursion and rejoined in third behind Dungey and Roczen. Roczen worked on Dungey for the first eight laps before he finally found an opening and made a pass stick for the lead, but unlike last week, he didn’t pull away. Dungey went to work, studying Roczen’s lines, and Dungey was in a position to strike on the final lap. He pulled alongside Roczen and seemed to be setting the Honda racer up for a pass, but rushed it and made a mistake in the track’s final rhythm section, giving Roczen all the breathing room he needed to take the second win of the season. Dungey finished right behind him, followed at a distance by Musquin, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Jason Anderson, Honda’s Cole Seely, and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac – who, for the second week in a row, faded a bit late in the race when it seemed as if he tightened up again. Weston Peick, Davi Millsaps and Chad Reed rounded out the final racers on the lead lap.
