SUPERCROSS 2015 MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES ROUND 7/FEBRUARY 14, 2015 AT&T STADIUM/ARLINGTON, TEXAS P72 there for the entire race. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Jason Ander- son was sixth, despite having to make the main through one of the semi races. Anderson was 11 th on the opening lap of the main, but managed to make some quick passes during the first few laps before settling in behind Short. Eli Tomac was looking good, after finishing second in his heat. However, the GEICO Honda rider got caught up with Chad Reed in the main, and then he later went down on his own and eventually finished the night in seventh. "The fall didn't cost me posi- tions but it cost enough time off that it pretty much assured me of not having a chance at the podi- um," Tomac said. "I'm never one to make excuses, but I was just down on power today, to be hon- est. I think I might have overdone it a bit in practice and maybe having to travel east hurt. I'm not sure. I just didn't have anything in the tank. I'll definitely rest a bit more this week and recharge my batteries. We're switching from our place in California to home (in Cortez, Colorado), so that will lessen the travel. I need to do whatever I can to get back on the podium every race." With seven races in the books, Dungey holds a 12-point lead over Roczen, with Canard sitting third another 11 points back. EAST 250 MAIN Marvin Musquin was in a league of his own in the 250 class. The Red Bull KTM rider turned the fastest time in qualifying, led ev- ery lap of his heat race and then led every lap of the main event. What makes his performance even more amazing is that he missed all of last year's Super- cross season with a knee injury. Adding to the drama of his win was that he, in a sense, had to win it twice. Musquin grabbed the holehot in the main and pulled away to almost a five-sec- ond lead over Justin Bogle, then on lap eight the race was red flagged when Kyle Cunningham crashed. The race was restarted Blake Baggett enjoyed his best 450-class finish ever with a fourth.
