After winning his first Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship race of the season at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey extended his 450SX Class points lead to 11 as the championship heads to San Diego's Petco Park for the first time ever tomorrow night and the second consecutive Military Appreciation Race. RCH Soaring Eagle\/Jimmy John's Factory Suzuki's Ken Roczen controlled the points lead for the first three races of the season and follows Dungey in second place with GEICO Honda's Eli Tomac in third place. <\/p>\n
Yamalube\/Star Racing Yamaha's Cooper Webb captured his third Western Regional 250SX Class Championship win last weekend in Anaheim, and in doing so extended his points lead to 18 over Troy Lee Designs\/Lucas Oil\/\/RedBull\/KTM's Jessy Nelson. Webb's teammate and rookie Aaron Plessinger scored his first podium and sits in third place. <\/p>\n
The Military Appreciation Race signifies the world's premier off-road motorcycle racing championship paying tribute to the members of the United States Armed Forces, in support of Operation Homefront, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides assistance to service members and their families with a focus on wounded veterans who served on or after 9\/11. <\/p>\n
In recognition of their dedicated honor and services, members of the military can save $10 on tickets at Ticketmaster with the code OPHOME. Military members will also be granted FREE access to the pit party by showing a valid military ID (limit one entry per ID). The entire Monster Energy Supercross Championship will air on the on the American Forces Network (AFN), bringing each race to U.S. installations, U.S. embassies, and other U.S. consulates in 175 countries. <\/p>\n
In addition to the pledge of support from Feld Motor Sports, the Military Appreciation Race will once again host a charity auction following the San Diego race, featuring the gear worn by the riders during competition. Last year the sport's top riders donated their race-worn gear to the auction, and even more contributions are expected for the 2015 race. <\/p>\n
