SUPERCROSS MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD FINAL ROUND/ MAY 2, 2015 SAM BOYD STADIUM / LAS VEGAS, NEVADA P88 career Supercross start. "Eli was on it today, and it seems like he's been riding better each week," Dungey said. "Today we had the fastest qualifying time but in the heat race we were just a hair off his pace, just a little bit, so I knew I had to step it up for the main event. It was nice to get a good start and get out of the gate and just go. There were a few areas where I was better and a few areas where he was better; we played cat and mouse until he made a mistake. Gauging him through out the rest of the race, we were pushing. He was definitely trying and I was trying. Longer lap times today, over a 20-minute moto, the endurance, all the hard work really paid off tonight." PEICK VERSUS REED Weston Peick and Chad Reed, who was returning from a shoulder injury, tried picking up the excite- ment slack after the Dungey/ Tomac battle dissolved. Peick put his AutoTrader.com/JGRMX Yamaha YZ450F into third place, just ahead of Justin Brayton's BTO Sports.com KTM SX-F 450 FE and Reed's Discount Tire/ TwoTwo Motorsports' Kawasaki KX450F. Reed appeared to be on the move. He quickly got around Brayton for fourth and reeled in Peick when he fell; tagging along Malcolm Stewart got the evening program started with a win in the 250 heat race.
