Chase in tales..!
By TMX Archives on 20th Jan 10
FOLLOWING his debut appearance last week at Anaheim, Suzuki's Ryan Dungey continued where he left off at round two of the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross and FIM World Championship, as he took an epic win at Chase Field, in Phoenix. However, despite Dungey's spectacular win it was the bar banging action, both on and off the track, from rivals James Stewart and Chad Reed that stole the show.
The night didn't begin well for defending champion James Stewart when he went down hard in his heat. Stewart went off-line over the triple and landed in the path of Kyle Partridge, resulting in the San Manuel Yamaha rider being carried-off in what looked to be a lot of pain. To everyone's surprise though, Stewart re-appeared to race the Last chance qualifier, and went on to take the win to secure his place in the main event.
