Lawrence tightens Lites points race

From Live Nation

Aurora, IL - Yamaha of Troy’s Jason Lawrence, won his second consecutive Western Regional AMA Supercross race of the season. While Lawrence wrapped up his impressive win, points leader Ryan Dungey’s commanding lead was cut short after crashing in turn one. The Makita Suzuki rider came into the evening with a 19-point lead, but left Anaheim just eight points ahead of Lawrence. After fighting off Red Bull Honda’s Davi Millsaps, Team San Manuel’s Chad Reed won his fourth Monster Energy® AMA Supercross, and FIM World Championship, race last Saturday night at Angel Stadium. Reed brings a 26-point lead into San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium.

Last weekend, at the third and final Monster Energy® Supercross race in Anaheim, Calif., Team San Manuel’s Reed won the AMA Supercross class main event, leading all 20 laps en route to the 30th win of career.

”After last weekend, I set some goals for myself, and winning this race was definitely one of them,” said Reed from the podium at Angel Stadium. “I knew that if I got the holeshot, I would be able to get this done. I had a lot in the tank after the race, so I was really happy tonight.”
