That is it for the season supercross fans! The 2013 AMA Monster Energy Supercross season concluded on May 4. in Las Vegas, NV. Otherwise known as Sin City.

This probably is not a surprise to many, but the champion of the season is once again, Ryan Villopoto. He has taken it in 2011 and 2012, now taking it on 2013. Villopoto started off the season a little rough, but he did not let that keep him from getting back on top.

Although KTM rider, Ryan Dungey, came in second at the finale, he still came in third on the final points board. Truthfully, Dungey was one of my favorite riders to watch during this season. Even though he did not take a first place very often, he did everything  he could to stay on the podium. He is someone that I look up too, because he shows determination throughout everything he does.

Davi Millsaps, who was not a factory rider this season, came in third on the points board. This is a supercross miracle.

Another memorable moment at the finale was Honda rider Kevin Windham announcing his retirement from the sport. Windham has raced for the past 17 years. He will be missed greatly by me and the rest of the fans.
