Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey further emphasised his dominance of the American supercross scene at the weekend, winning the penultimate round of the US series on Saturday night even though he didn’t even need to race, having wrapped up the title two events previously.

The win was Dungey’s sixth AMA Supercross class main event victory.

Meanwhile, for the first time in his career, Kawasaki’s Jake Weimer won the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Shootout.

Dungey captured the holeshot with Yamaha’s Kyle Chisholm on his back wheel through turn one. Kawasaki’s Chad Reed pushed his way into second place in turn two. Honda’s Kevin Windham, who came into Saturday night’s race on a two-race win streak, started mid pack and by lap eight moved into third place, passing Chisholm.

Dungey led all 20 laps en route to victory to cap off his AMA Supercross championship season. Reed finished second and Windham finished third.

“It was great to get the holeshot because it is crucial to having a solid race,” said Dungey. “It has been an incredible season, and I am very proud of the championship.”

Weimer won the holeshot with his team-mate’s Dean Wilson and Frenchman Christophe Pourcel following in second and third respectively to begin the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Shootout. Pourcel quickly passed Wilson on lap one. Weimer, who is the Western Regional champion, established a lead out front while and on lap five Wilson moved around Pourcel to secure second place.

Josh Hansen worked his way into third place on lap six, passing Pourcel. On lap 14 of 15, Hansen, passed Wilson for third place to round out the podium.

“This is a great night for our team,” said Hansen. “Our team won the first four positions and that is because of everyone’s hard work.
