AURORA, IL – Monster Energy AMA Supercross/FIM World Championship returns to Dallas’ Texas Stadium this Saturday as Team San Manuel Yamaha’s Chad Reed carries a 20-point lead over the hard-charging Kevin Windham of Torco Fuels Honda.

The AMA Supercross class race will air on SPEED Sunday, April 6 at 6:00 pm (EST), and the AMA Supercross Lites race will air on SPEED Saturday April 12 at 4:00 pm.

Reed won his seventh Monster Energy Supercross race of the season last weekend before 36,888 fans at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, marking his second consecutive race win in Toronto. Honda’s Shaun Skinner won the first AMA Supercross Lites class main event of his career.

Since the first AMA Supercross class race held in Dallas back on Feb. 28, 1975, Ricky Johnson and Reed have been the only riders to win the race three times. AMA Supercross Lites racing began in Dallas on May 4, 1985 where Suzuki rider Bobby Moore won. Yamaha’s Grant Langston and seven-time supercross champion Jeremy McGrath are the only riders to win Dallas twice in the Lites class.
