Dungey Wins Shootout

Las Vegas, NV - 5/6/08

Oakley’s Ryan Dungey, won the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Shootout in the AMA Supercross Lites class main event. The win came in front of 39,227 fans at a sold-out Sam Boyd Stadium.
 
In the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Shootout, Oakley’s Ryan Dungey followed Progressive Holeshot Award winner Ryan Villopoto. It quickly became a two-horse race as Villopoto and Dungey pulled away from the field. Villopoto led the first 14 laps while Dungey continued to real in Villopoto’s lead. On the last lap, Dungey, who won last year’s Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Shootout, passed Villopoto and rode to victory. The Oakley star Dungey was awarded a brand new 2008 Toyota Tundra truck for winning the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Shootout.
 
“To win this race two years in a row is huge for me,” said Dungey. “It was a very special win for me because I came from behind and rode smart. I lost some time in the beginning of the race, and I was able to find my grove as the race progressed.”
 
“That was one of the fastest starts I have ever raced on at a supercross race,” said Villopoto. “The lappers played a big part in the race, but Ryan (Dungey) was riding great. I made some mistakes, and he capitalized on them.”
