Reed, who began the event 10 point ahead of Kevin Windham, worked his way forward from seventh position - passing the Honda rider for the lead on lap of 20 en route to his ninth victory of the season. Red Bull Honda Racing's Andrew Short finished third.

Kawasaki's Kelly Smith took the $1,500 Progressive Direct Holeshot Award to begin the 20-lap main event in front, with injured championship leader Chad Reed taking the advantage later on in the lap.

While event organisers did debate postponing the race due to the treacherous conditions, the decision was made to race a shortened 12 lap main event.

Kevin Windham has narrowly avoided having his first AMA Supercross victory for nearly three years taken from him, after being judged to have ridden dangerously in Saturday night's 250cc main event.
