WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP VOL. 52 ISSUE 11 MARCH 17, 2015 P63 Briefly... Ryan Dungey's Indy Supercross win was his second in a row at Lucas Oil Stadium, his third in a row and fifth of the season in the 2015 season, but perhaps more importantly his- torically speaking, is that the victory moved Dungey into a tie for ninth on the all-time AMA Supercross wins list. Dungey now has 19-career Su- percross wins. That ties him with Da- mon Bradshaw for ninth. Ryan Dungey said he feels the key to being successful in the champion- ship this year is to not focus on the big lead he has in the series at this point. "It's just race by race and I just don't think about it," he said. When asked how he'll be able to concen- trate now that he has nearly a full two-race cushion in the points. "I know it in the back of my mind, but we've worked hard to get in this posi- tion and that's what I've got to keep building on. It's important not to think too far ahead." Jason Anderson appeared to be taken out by Blake Baggett in the first timed qualifying session at Indy. Anderson retaliated and slammed into Baggett later in the session and both riders were black flagged and kept out of the final minutes of the session. Neither Baggett nor An- derson wanted to comment on the incident. Anderson would only say that Baggett's take-out move was "completely random." Baggett was overheard talking with an official be- fore the second session saying he "wasn't a dirty rider." Neither was giv- en any penalties other than missing that last part of the first timed qualify- ing session. continued on next page Andrew Short (29) got off to another fast start in the 450 main but couldn't hold off the number-5 KTM of Ryan Dungey. STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY LARRY LAWRENCE W hatever happened to Mr. Consistency? You know, the Ryan Dungey we all knew and loved. The nice guy who always put it in the top five, but we were all just a little frustrated with because he didn't seem to have that fire in his belly to win? Well he's gone now, thank you very much. Are you happy with the monster you've created?
