RCH Soaring Eagle /Jimmy John’s/Suzuki Factory Racing’s Ken Roczen captured his first win of the 2016 Monster Energy AMA Supercross at the first-ever race from University of Phoenix Stadium.

Racing in front of more than 53,000 fans, BTO Sports/WPS/KTM’s Davi Millsaps won his second holeshot Award before Roczen passed him for the lead on the opening lap.

Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac, who started fourth, took over third place on the opening lap and advanced to second place on Lap 2, dropping Millsaps to third.

Team Honda HRC’s Cole Seely passed Millsaps for third on Lap four, while pints leader coming into the round Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey, positioned himself inside the top five after a bad start on lap three before moving around Seely for third on Lap five when the Honda rider stalled his bike.

On Lap 15 Dungey passed Tomac for second, where he would eventually finish behind race winner Ken Roczen by just over four-seconds.

Tomac held on for third, with Anderson working his way to fourth position after a bad start while Millsaps held on for a top five finish, finishing fifth.

Roczen took the chequered flag over four seconds ahead of Dungey, while Tomac held on for third place.

Roczen win was the fifth SX class win of his career, winning two each of his first two seasons in the 450SX Class. It was his first win since the second race in Anaheim in January of the 2015 season, 18 races ago. Roczen missed the final eight races of last season with injury.

“We have been working really hard and it paid off,” said Roczen. “This was a tough track tonight. We got the job done.”

Despite having his three-race win streak come to an end, Dungey’s podium streak dating back to last season when he won the 450SX Class title now sits at 21 races. That’s also the same points advantage he now holds over Roczen in the championship standings.

“I made some good, clean passes after that bad start,” said Dungey. “I made passes where I could and had a great race.”

Dungey now has a 21 point lead in this year’s championship race over Roczen with Anderson a further five points back in third.

Australia’s Chad Reed slipped to fourth in the points standings after a sixth place finish in the main event. The Factory Yamaha rider qualified straight through to the main event from his heat race but looked to struggle early on in the main event on the fast paced, slick track falling as far back as 7th at one stage before re-passing Marvin Musquin for 6th.

In the Western Regional 250SX Class Main Event, GEICO Honda’s Jimmy DeCotis picked up his second holeshot award of the year, leading his team-mate Craig through the first turn.

Craig made the pass for lead shortly thereafter. Defending Western Regional 250SX Class Champion Cooper Webb, who rides for the Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha, started in seventh and made his way into the top three by the second lap and then moved into second place on Lap 3.

Points leader and last week’s winner Joey Savatgy put his Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki into third place on Lap 5 after starting eighth. On Lap 9 while attempting a pass for the lead, Webb crashed but did not lose any positions, remounting right in front of Savatgy.

Craig crossed the line nearly three-seconds ahead of Webb to join the Monster Energy Supercross win ranks with his dad, Mike Craig. Webb finished second, rebounding from a career-worst 21st-place finish last weekend, with Savatgy third.

“To come out of retirement and get my first win ever is amazing,” said Craig, who last raced full time in 2013. “On the last lap the crowd was so loud; it was awesome.”

Webb and Savatgy now share the points lead at 98. Craig moved into third place, 11 points out of the lead.
