Reed beats the rain

From Live Nation Motor Sports

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Team San Manuel’s Chad Reed won his third Monster Energy AMA Supercross race at AT&T Park Saturday night despite a rain-soaked track before 37,322 fans. Battling the pouring rain, Yamaha of Troy’s Jason Lawrence won the first Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class race of his career.

Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Tim Ferry led the AMA Supercross class through turn 1, winning the $1,500 Progressive Holeshot Award with Torco Fuels Honda’s Kevin Windham on his back wheel. Reed started mid-pack and staged a remarkable comeback.

Windham moved into the lead on the opening lap before being passed by Red Bull Honda’s Davi Millsaps on lap 4. Reed moved into third place behind Windham on lap 5. On the same lap, Windham crashed, allowing Reed to assume second place.

“I did make some mistakes out there tonight, and I was able to get a little luck,” said Reed. “I am happy to come back after the bad start I had. I am looking forward to racing on a dry track next weekend in Anaheim.”

Millsaps threw away the lead on lap 6 and Reed was once again handed the lead. Windham finished second and Millsaps finished third.

Motorsport/Xtreme Kawasaki’s Thomas Hahn won the $1,000 Progressive Holeshot Award to open the Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class main event with Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Austin Stroupe in tow. Following close behind through turn 1, Lawrence opened a huge lead after passing Stroupe and Hahn.

Lawrence held on for the win followed by Hahn and Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Bret Metcalfe, who finished second and third respectively.
