MONSTER ENERGY CUP
his way by Barcia to snatch second, and Dungey did likewise to
take over third.
Roczen led the first four laps,
while Stewart seemed to patiently
await a clean opportunity to take
the lead away. Behind Roczen,
Stewart was still going quad/
triple, then he shoved his way by
just past the mechanics' area –
a spot where Stewart put a pass
on Villopoto in the previous main
event – and although Roczen did
a good job of keeping it close for
the remainder of the main event,
Stewart pulled away.
On lap six, Dungey – in third –
took the Joker Lane, losing one
spot to Tomac, and then Tomac
took the lane with three laps to go,
handing the spot back to Dungey.
But Roczen was too focused on
Stewart and never took advantage of the lane until the final lap,
following Stewart into the Joker
Lane. On exiting the Joker Lane,
Stewart barely held off Dungey,
but Dungey and Tomac both got
by Roczen, and that's how they
finished, with Stewart winning
over Dungey, Tomac and Roczen.
Overall, Stewart took the win
over Dungey (second place for the
third year in a row) and Roczen;
Red Bull racers sweeping the podium at the Monster Energy Cup.
Stewart, Dungey and Roczen made
up this year's Monster Energy Cup
podium.
"It's definitely good to come
out here," Roczen said. "I had
two really good starts and I got
better each race, so that's what I
wanted to see. I'm actually super
happy with my last race. I should
have taken the Joker Lane in a
different lap than James. But it's
the way it is. I'm happy with that
third place. Actually I'm not, I'm
talking bullshit. But no, it would
have been great to win, but overall it was a good experience. It
was my first time here and it was
a super cool event. The track
