Reed and Dungey race for three-peat

From Live Nation Motor Sports

AURORA, IL – Team San Manuel’s Chad Reed and Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey race for a three-peat in Anaheim as the Monster Energy AMA Supercross returns to Angel Stadium this Saturday for the third and final time in 2008.

This weekend’s AMA Supercross class race will be broadcast in high-definition technology on CBS Sports Sunday, Feb. 2 at 2:00 p.m. CST. The AMA Supercross class race will air on SPEED Saturday, Feb. 9 at Noon EST.

A win this weekend for Reed can place him with Monster Energy Kawasaki’s James Stewart as the only riders in AMA Supercross class history to win all three races in Anaheim in the same season. Dungey can join former Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class champions Ryan Villopoto, Ivan Tedesco and Ernesto Fonseca as the only riders to sweep all three Anaheim races in the same season.

Last weekend at San Francisco’s AT&T Park, three different riders led the action-packed main event, including Red Bull Honda’s Davi Millsaps, Torco Fuels’ Kevin Windham and Reed. Reed captured his third race-win of the season in front of 37,322 fans who attended the rain-drenched race.

Yamaha of Troy’s Jason Lawrence won the first Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class race for his career, leading from wire-to-wire. Current AMA Supercross Lites class points leader Dungey rode to a disappointing seventh-place finish in the Lites class main event.

Motorsport/Xtreme Kawasaki’s Thomas Hahn earned the first podium of his 2008 season, finishing second and earning the $1,000 Progressive Holeshot Award.

At the opening race of the 2008 Monster Energy Supercross season at Angel Stadium, Reed captured the first win of the championship, beating reigning AMA Supercross class champion Stewart. Dungey led the field of Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites riders to victory.
