Austin Stroupe debut's in 450 class, grabs holeshot!
Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey made an amazing Supercross debut on Saturday night in
Dungey had the second-fastest lap time in practice and remained consistent throughout practice and qualifying. At the drop of the gate for the main, Dungey and his fuel-injected RM-Z450 shot out of the gate like a canon, grabbing the holeshot. He continued to put distance between himself and James Stewart, who was in second place. Dungey led for an astounding 17 laps amidst the roar of the crowd, who stood and cheered the entire 19-minute race. As lappers began to factor into the race, Dungey gave up the lead to Stewart but didn’t give up the race. Dungey battled the final three laps, nearly overtaking Stewart on the last lap. At the wave of the checkered flag, Dungey took the second spot on the podium.
Austin Stroupe also made his Supercross debut on Saturday night. The 19 year old is set to compete in the Supercross Lites East series, but due to an injury to teammate Matt Moss, Stroupe will race the first few rounds of the 450 class. Stroupe grabbed the holeshot in the second qualifier, ahead of James Stewart. In the main event Stroupe completed four laps before succumbing to a mistake that took him out of the race.
