2009 St. Louis Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship (Round 12 of 17)

This is round 12 of the 2009 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship from the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, MO.

Returning contenders like Supercross rookies Ryan Villopoto, Josh Grant, and Broc Hepler, Tim Ferry, 2007 champ James Stewart, Ivan Tedesco, Andrew Short, Supercross Sophomores Josh Hill and Mike Alessi, Michael Byrne, Davi Millsaps, 2008 Supercross runner-up Kevin Windham, and defending champ Chad Reed battle it out for the 2009 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship. This is Ryan Villopoto's rookie season in the Supercross class. Chad Reed runs the number 1 plate in a Supercross season for the first time since Jeremy McGrath in 2001. Travis Pastrana is the designer of the St. Louis track, and even makes a one-off appearance on a 450cc Suzuki, but fails to qualify for the main due to a crash in heat #2, and a blown radiator in the Last Chance. Watch Supercross Heat #2 as James Stewart falls down not once, but TWICE, and STILL manages to barely qualify for the main in 9th place, but his troubles didn't end there, as a 3rd fall in the main event forces him to surrender the win to Chad Reed, who extends his points lead to 11.

Enjoy.
