Hill wins first AMA Supercross.

Monday, 17th March 2008

Yamaha’s Josh Hill took his first AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, race victory at the Minneapolis Metrodome on Saturday night.

Torco Fuels Honda’s Josh Grant, of Riverside took the Progressive Holeshot Award, leading Villopoto through turn one. Grant held the lead until lap six when they traded positions for the number-one position.

Grant held the lead until the last lap of the race when, at the very final turn, he came together with Villopoto and crashed. Grant finished second overall.

"I came here ready to race tonight," said Villopoto. "I am still behind in the points, so I have a lot of catching up to do."

Torco Fuels Honda’s Trey Canard remains in the Lites class points lead after finishing fourth.
