Ryan Dungey has successfully defended his 450SX Supercross championship.
The Red Bull KTM rider entered Saturday night’s Supercross finale with a nine-point lead over Kawasaki rider Eli Tomac and just needed to finish fourth or better to win the title.
Dungey traded the top spot with Tomac all night long but seemed content to finish second behind Tomac on the final lap. However, Tomac began to check up knowing that he couldn’t allow Dungey to finish second, but all it did was allow Jason Anderson to pass them both and win. Tomac finished second, Joshua Grant got third and Dungey finished fourth, giving him the title.
