WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIT PALMER
I
t was a historic night of racing at the
opening round of the Monster Energy
AMA Supercross Series at Angel Sta-
dium, with Jason Anderson scoring his
first career supercross win in the pre-
mier class and, coming with it, Husqvar-
na getting its first 450SX victory, as well.
But not only was it a historic night, it was
also a very entertaining night, with plenty
of crashing, take-outs and, yes, even
punches thrown. And there was plenty
of the latter courtesy of Weston Peick.
The sold-out crowd of 45,050 certainly
got its money's worth.
