450 Supercross Class: In the premier Supercross class, the championship battle is between Chad Reed, and Kevin Windham. Yamaha v. Honda. In the qualifying heats, Kevin Windham made it to the main by winning heat 1, and Chad Reed made it to the main by winning heat 2.
In the main event, Reed crashed on the first lap! Kevin Windham was the early leader, but one of the covers to the track markers got attached to his bike - he had to stop to get it off and get the bike running again!
Kevin Windham and Chad Reed put on a show! Both moving up thru the pack - Windham took over the lead on lap 18! And Reed came all the way back to second place on the final lap!
Going into the final round in Las Vegas next Saturday, Reed has a ten point lead over Windham: 340 to 330.
