As the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series raced into Arlington, 450’s points leader, Ryan Dungey won his heat race and lead all 20 laps in the Main Event to extend his points lead over Ken Roczen to 12 points.
Supercross Arlington
Multiple drivers went down during the first five laps including David Millsaps while running third. Roczen had just passed Millsaps and had 15 laps to chase down Ryan Dungey for first.
Dungey was on a mission and added four seconds on Roczen before the race ended. Trey Canard rounded out the podium – which looked identical to the points race.
