Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey raced to second place in Saturday night’s ninth round of the AMA/ FIM Supercross Championship at Daytona to keep his championship lead intact.

Dungey put together 20 fast laps in the Supercross Main Event after winning his heat race. He came out of the gate third and had his work cut out for him trying to pass his way into the top spot. By the end of the phenomenal race, on the track designed by Ricky Carmichael, Dungey crossed the finish line in second and holds tight to his lead in the overall points standing. “I felt great, but I needed to get a little bit of a better start,” Dungey said. “I felt great; the team did a great job; and we have a great setup, but I came up a little short. Fitness-wise and bike setup-wise, I felt awesome.”
