Dungey 2nd in Supercross title hunt

Ryan Dungey has moved to second place in the AMA/ FIM World Supercross Championship after racing to second place in Saturday night's 14th round at Edwards Jones Dome in St. Louis.

Rockstar Makita Suzuki's defending Champion and his RM-Z450 are now just five points away from the leader Ryan Villopoto (Kawasaki) with three more rounds to go; and 75 points up for grabs.

Dungey and his Suzuki were strong all day in front of a crowd of almost 60,000. After scoring the fifth fastest time in the afternoon timed practice, Dungey pulled the holeshot and walked away with the win in his heat race. Another great start on his RM-Z in the Main put him in second place going into the first turn. After a bit of shuffling, he dropped one position in the first lap but was able to power his way back to second by lap three.

"I think that all in all, it was a pretty good day," said Dungey.
