SUPERCROSS MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD ROUND 10 / MARCH 7, 2015 DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY / DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA P72 tried a different line, which was inside, really rutted and kind of slower, and at that point I was trying anything to get around 'Shorty,' and Seely railed the outside and was able to get a run on me. He got a wheel on me, but I had the advantage coming into the turn. We were both going to run into Shorty, so I took the line away from Seely and he went up over the thing. We went into the next one and I thought he was going to chill out a little bit and he didn't. He just tried to really force it in and sur- prised me. It snagged my boots and unbuckled them. He ended up going down and thankfully I didn't. From there, Shorty didn't really make that much ground in that little deal. I was like, 'man, this is enough,' and I was able to get through the whoops re- ally nice and clean and faster. I scrubbed more speed off the triple than Shorty did and when we landed I had the wheel so I took the inside." Once in the lead, Dungey was able to pull away to a big lead, crossing the finish line with just over four seconds to spare over runner-up Eli Tomac, giving Dungey his fourth win of the championship and a 40-point lead, aided by the fact that his closest rivals in the title chase had problems. RCH/Soaring Eagle/Jimmy Johns Suzuki's Ken Roczen, third in points, pulled out of the race after ag- gravating his ankle in practice, and Trey Canard, second in points, crashed in the first turn of the main and could only make it back into sixth by the end of the race. "This is good, being able to build on the championship," said Dungey. "My main focus has been more just race by race. Marvin Musquin (25) made it another KTM sweep after running off with the 250 East main win.
