Round #4 is here and we at Southern Honda have been on the edge of our seats. See, motocross/supercross is a big deal here in Chattanooga, TN. Almost like a religion. Some guys spend their Sundays lapping their favorite track or blasting through the woods. Some pray more riding dirt than they do in church the next week between casing out jumps and catching rocks the wrong way at high speed. As always, we are rooting for our boys (and girls @AshleyFiolek67 ;) ) on their Hondas dirtbikes. The 2013 CRF450R has been performing very well under a wide variety of riders. These top riders are using the new KYB PSF Air Forks with great feedback turning into corners. As always the 2013 CRF250R has been ripping it up front with its updated suspension and Honda PGM FI fuel injection. No doubt, these bikes are class leading. Want these Honda dirtbikes at the best price in the southeast? Call Southern Honda Powersports.

15 lap 250 SX West Main Event – 9:26pm. Joey Savatgy on the 176 KTM in the lead! At the end of the first lap, it’s Cole Seely with the lead, and Ken Roczen giving chase!
On the second lap, while running eighth – Eli Tomac goes down!

The top five after five laps are very spread out. Seely, Roczen, Anderson, Davalos, Savatgy. And then Tomac crashes again! He’s on the side of the track – and he’s not getting up quickly. He is heading back to the pits ….
Lap 12. Roczen has closed up right on Seely for the lead. And in a tight right hand corner, makes the pass for the lead! With Tomac out, and Roczen headed for the win, Roczen will definitely take over the points lead.
Kenny Roczen has won! And taken over the 250 West points lead! Cole Seely second, Jason Anderson third.

The 450 Supercross main was a tough one for our Honda guys Justin Barcia, Trey Canard, and Chad Reed. After banging through his heat race Trey Canard ends up second place on his way to the main. Then it happened. Villipoto pulls off a wicked holeshot and carnage breaks loose in turn one. Here is the play by play:
The 450 SX 20 Lap Main Event – 9:57pm. Big pile up in the second corner – at least five riders. One rider involved is Chad Reed. He’s first to get going. Josh Grant is another rider – he’s next to get going. James Stewart is another rider involved in the crash. He’s up and running – but very slowly.
Ryan Villopoto is out front. Justin Brayton is running second. Davi Millsaps is third. Mike Alessi fourth. Vince Friese is next. Ryan Dungey is in ninth. Trey Canard is 14th. Chad Reed 17th. Josh Grant 18th. James Stewart 19th – but has pulled out of the race. Justin Barcia is
20th – but also out of the race.
The crash – you can see Dungey was affected, Brayton’s bike, Josh Grant’s bike, Chad Reed (black helmet with Monster logos), James Stewart, Trey Canard, and other carnage …
Ryan Villopoto is already running away with this race on lap five. Davi Millsaps has moved into second – he’s eight seconds behind Villopoto. Third place is Justin Brayton, fourth is Mike Alessi.
Dungey seventh. Canard 10th. Reed 16th. Grant 18th. Again – Stewart and Barcia are out of this race.
On lap 16 Villopoto is out front by over 10 seconds over Millsaps, Ryan Dungey has moved to third. Then it’s Alessi fourth, Canard up to fifth. Canard makes the move on Alessi to move into fourth … Chad Reed is 12th.
Ryan Villopoto has won this race. Davi Millsaps takes a nice second – and maintains his series points lead as the series heads back to Anaheim next Saturday. Ryan Dungey finishes third.
So basically Barcia tanked it and got hurt, Reed got up and pulled out a 12th and our boy Trey Canard ripped it all the way back up to 4th. One year off a broken back, this kid is no joke. We are looking forward to Anaheim.
