Second: Ryan Dungey

Third: Trey Canard

250:

First: Black Wharton

Coming out of nowhere, Blake Wharton takes over the whole 250 main event. Although Zack Freeberg beat all of the riders to the Nuclear Cowboyz holeshot. Quickly being passed by Marvin Musquin, who has won the past three races. Also passing him was Wharton. They kept their places for the first five laps of the race. Then in lap five, Musquin goes down. Although he lost places from the wreck, he still crossed the finish line in third place.

In the 450 main event, Ryan Villopoto was unstoppable once again. With only two race left, until the finale in Las Vegas, NV. he is looking like the champion for another year. This year he has surely gained speed. In his races, even if he loses spot to other riders, he fights back to finish at the top.

The riders are coming to a close as May 4. arrives to the schedule. This week they will be in Minneapolis, MN. on April 13.

Countdown to the finale: 2 races
