Villopoto wins in Vegas, Stewart champion

In the annual, talent-filled Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Supercross Lites Shootout, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Christophe Pourcel took the win and earned a Toyota Tundra for his efforts.

GEICO Powersports Honda's Blake Wharton overcame his East and West counterparts to grab the holeshot at the start of the race, with team-mate Trey Canard and Troy Lee Designs Honda's Jake Moss in tow.

Respective Eastern and Western Regional champions Pourcel and Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey followed in fourth and ninth. Canard moved into the lead on by the end of lap one and quickly gapped the field while Pourcel moved into second.

On lap12, Canard committed an error and fell from first to third, handing the lead to Pourcel and a closing Dungey. For the remaining three laps, Dungey, who was looking for his third-straight shootout victory, chased down the French rider, but came up a half a bike length short across the line.

“I just rode the best I could the entire main event. I stayed close to Trey [Canard] and then he made a little mistake. From that point I just rode as fast as I could. It feels great to get this victory,” said the Frenchman.

@ Dray - Chad was the only rider out there who was able to put any pressure on Stewart. No doubt that Stewart is faster but Chad does seem to be one of the few that can pressure Stewart into making errors.

I hope that they both end up racing the outdoor series. If they do, I may have to go to the Hangtown race.
