Windham victory sets up 'Vegas title showdown.

Sunday, 27th April 2008

Kevin Windham will head to the Las Vegas Monster Energy AMA Supercross season finale just 10 points behind Chad Reed after his second victory in a row, at Seattle's Qwest Field on Saturday night.

Team Solitaire’s Bobby Kiniry won the Progressive Holeshot Award with Dungey in second while Lawrence, who came into the race with a six-point lead over Dungey, in fourth position.

While Dungey pulled away from the field, Lawrence moved into second place and rode to the first AMA Supercross Lites championship of his career. Yamaha’s Broc Hepler finished in third place.

"Once I settled into second place, I was really nervous," said Lawrence. "I just wanted to keep it on two wheels and ride a smart race. I was really comfortable when my Yamaha team-mate Broc Hepler was behind me."

The win was Dungey's third of the season, but mistakes in previous rounds cost him the crown.

"I was really happy with the way I rode tonight," said Dungey. "I know where I made some mistakes this year, and I am going to fix them. I learned a lot this year."
