All three hailed from Florida, which is starting to give Southern California a run for its money as the preferred home of professional motocross racers; Chad Reed and Ricky Carmichael were tied for first and James Stewart was just five points behind in third place.

Nearly 40,000 fans from around the country gathered at Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium on May 6 to watch as these three battled for the AMA Supercross crown.
