AMA Supercross heads to San Diego
Everything you need to know to get ready for the Monster Energy Supercross season's second race in san diego!
The first of two Monster Energy AMA Supercross races at San Diego’s Petco Park will take this Saturday, January 16, with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jason Anderson leading the world’s top riders into the championship’s second chapter.
In the opening race of his Western Regional 250SX Class Championship title defence, Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha’s Cooper Webb won last weekend’s season opener in Anaheim and has his sights on his second consecutive win at Petco Park.
Some key insights to watch heading into this Saturday night’s race include:
- Can Anderson build off of the momentum of his first career 450SX Class win and establish a points lead?
- Can Dungey extend his podium streak to 18 in San Diego?
- KTM will be looking to earn its first ever 450SX Class victory in San Diego.
- Chad Reed is closing in on being in the top three all-time in 450SX Class starts. A San Diego start will put him one start away from tying Larry Ward for third..
- Can Cooper Webb tie Keith Turpin, Denny Stephenson, Jake Weimer and Dean Wilson for 18th on the all-time 250SX Class win list?
- Going back to last season, Webb has won five straight 250SX Western Regional Class races. Can he make it six?
- Jessy Nelson is looking for career win number two in San Diego and his 20th career 250SX Class top-10 finish.
- Zach Osborne is looking to make his 40th career 250SX Class starts in San Diego.
After a seventh-place start in the Anaheim Main Event, Anderson charged through the 450SX Class pack en route to his first premier class win. Anderson became the 11th rider to win the first 450SX Class race at the season opener.
“Honestly, I just felt great out there tonight,” said Anderson on the win. “I was coming through the pack and just made it happen. You work hard to do this as a kid, and it feels great.”
