Windham Takes Bite of Minne-apple

February 21 ~ Kevin Windham won his third AMA/THQ Supercross with a stunning and dominating performance in the Minneapolis Metrodome Saturday night. The AMSOIL/Chaparral/Honda/Factory Connection rider is now within one race's points of taking over the series lead. He trails by 23 points.

Mike LaRocco finished sixth in the Metrodome after getting tangled up with another rider and falling on the first lap of the 250 main. After getting back on his bike in dead last, LaRocco was able to pass nearly the entire field. LaRocco looked like he was having the time of his life and said afterward if the track had more length and the race were longer he may have caught all the way up. LaRocco is alone in fourth place overall.

Travis Preston debuted in the 250 class and made a strong showing. Preston finished fourth. He too felt if the course were a little longer he could have moved into third place.

The 125 main featured Ryan Mills. Mills didn't get a very good start, but was able to work some magic. He made it all the way to sixth place. Mills is seventh overall in 125 East regional points after two events.

Team AMSOIL will be in Atlanta for round nine February 27-28.
