Reed spanks RC in his own back yard! Ouch!

Our boy Chad Reed showed up in Daytona Beach on a mission and ready to win. Some doubted that Reed could win his second Daytona Supercross in a row with Carmichael in contention, but that’s just what he did. Starting with a holeshot in the main event, Chad proceeded to pull ahead of the pack and lead every lap of the race. He finished 34 seconds in front of the nearest competitor, proving he has what it takes to beat Ricky at his own game in his own back yard. I think Carmichael said it best, "I was able to hang it out there, but I wasn't able to get by him. Chad was the best guy tonight."

Congrats Chad!

Mike LaRocco rode strong as always taking the 3rd podium spot on his Amsoil Chaparral Honda and is currently 4th in the season points.

Travis Preston got 6th place for his best finish of his season so far.

Tim Ferry took 9th place, improving on his last two 11th and 10th finishes.

125cc etnies riders battle for 1 & 2

Etnies riders Josh Hansen and Josh Grant battled it out for the top spot in the 125cc main event. Grant had the lead from the start and began pulling from the field. Hansen made his way to second and started reeling in Grant. On the last lap Hansen made a last ditch effort to pass Grant which paid off. Both went down, but Hansen got going quicker and held off Grant for the win. This was Josh Grants first Supercross podium and Josh Hansen’s first Supercross win of the season, which puts Hansen 1st in the 125 east points.

Kelly Smith of Boost Mobile Yamaha of Troy rounded out the top 5 in Daytona and is currently 4th in the 125 east points.

Joaquim Rodrigues finished 9th and is 8th in the 125 east points
