Red Bull/KTM Factory rider Ryan Dungey did what he was hired to do – he won! Only two rounds into the series Dungey showed race fans everywhere what he and his new KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition motorcycle could do as he crossed the checkers and took the win at the second round of the AMA Supercross Series held at Chase Field.

Not only did Dungey take the win, but he nailed the holeshot and led every lap of the twenty lap main event. Dungey’s first career win on his KTM machine also marks the first win in history for the KTM brand in the SX class. Just two rounds into the season Dungey has already written pages in the history books at KTM.

Despite the lack of seat time heading into the night program, JS7 came out swinging in his heat, taking the win and the number one gate pick into the main event. When the gate finally dropped for the premier-class final, James finally nabbed that start he’d been searching for, and despite a mid-race mishap that saw him briefly hit the LA soil, he piloted his JGRMX Yamaha to a podium finish for the first time in 2012.
