Honda’s Kevin Windham, of Centerville, Miss.,
won the $1,500 Butterfinger Crisp Holeshot Award.
On lap 1 Windham led Yamaha’s Heath Voss,
Reed, Suzuki’s Ricky Carmichael and Kawasaki’s
James Stewart. Carmichael moved into second place
on lap 2 and two laps later Stewart crashed, removing
himself from the heated battle. Reed worked his
way past Carmichael on lap 12 and passed Windham
for the lead on lap 16. Carmichael finished second
after passing Windham on lap 17.
“That was a great race tonight,” said
Reed. “I was a little tight at the start
and started to get into the groove as the race
progressed. This was seriously one of the best
races of my career and I am happy to leave with
a big win.”
Ludington, Mich., native Kelly Smith earned the
$1,000 Butterfinger Crisp Holeshot Award. Langston
was in eighth on lap 1 and finished fourth in the
main event. In season points standings, Langston
and Hansen tied with 143 points, but the championship
goes to Langston based off his three overall wins
to Hansen’s two. Suzuki’s Davi Millsaps
finished second and Honda’s Joaquim Rodrigues
third.
“This was an amazing season for me,” said
Langston. “Winning the 125cc supercross championship
is a milestone in my career.”
The Next race takes place at Seattle’s Qwest
Field Saturday, April 16. Tonight’s race
airs on ESPN2 tomorrow April 10 at 5:00 p.m. EST.
