2014 MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES VOL. 51 ISSUE 15 APRIL 15, 2014 P59 art. "But we extended the cham- pionship one more race, there was just nothing we could do to- night." Dungey's race outcomes are usually determined by his starts, and in Seattle the Red Bull KTM rider got a good one, coming out of the first turn in second behind Villopoto. Briefly... Weston Peick had a tough ride in the 450 main, though it didn't start off too bad. The privateer, who an- nounced earlier in the week that he'll join the Soaring Eagle/RCH Suzuki Team for the upcoming outdoor Na- tionals, started about seventh in the main and then Justin Barcia came up under him in a turn and washed the front end. Peick was in 13th when he got going again and by that time ev- eryone had already checked out. "I just put my head down and tried to make some passes but I ended up crashing again and I ended up set- tling for 11th." Although Dean Wilson has already revealed his plans to move up to the 450 Supercross class in 2015, after his fourth place finish in Seattle, he has officially pointed out of the 250 Supercross class. He did so by ac- cumulating a total of 135 points in three separate seasons of Super- cross. Wilson will be one of the top rookies making their full-time debut next year. "I just didn't ride very well," Ken Roc- zen said of his seventh-place finish. The Red Bull KTM rider started off in fourth but fell in the whoops, costing him positions. "I'm really lucky that I managed to save myself from crash- ing in those whoops. That could've ended up a lot worse. I just didn't find my rhythm again after that. I bat- tled with 'Shorty' [Andrew Short] and Canard for quite a bit but I just didn't have my A game on tonight."
