Arlington, TX USA February 16, 2013. The eastern swing of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross championship got underway Saturday night in the Lone Star state, where 55,000 enthusiastic fans saw red, the same red we've seen since round 1 - on the number plate of Rockstar Suzuki fueled by Renegade ace Davi Millsaps. The night was full of mini triumphs and epic disappointments and though consistent, Millsap's 450sx performance was anything but business as usual. Winning his heat race and pulling the hole-shot in the main, the 7th round's top qualifier and championship points leader battled the flu before battling the competition en route to the second step on the podium and continued championship lead. Yoshimura Suzuki fueled by Renegade's James Stewart has clearly returned to form as he posted his second consecutive heat win on the strength of good starts and smooth fast riding - but his night's momentum was quashed by a freak clutch failure that kept him from lining up for the main. Broc Tickle did line up for the main and continued adding to his consistent string of main top-10's on his Rockstar fueled by Renegade Suzuki.
Texas stadium also kicked-off the 250sx Monster Energy Supercross Eastern Region championship, where an all-new group of challengers did battle for rights to hold their championship's first lead. Rockstar Suzuki fueled by Renegade challenger Blake Wharton had his own challenges early on, missing out on the final transfer spot in his heat with a last turn fall. The 250sx standout fought back strong, taking the LCQ win in front of Honda rider and Renegade stable-mate Zack Bell; then just missing out on the hole-shot, he charged his way up to a second place in the main and the same spot in the 250sx Eastern Region championship. Honda fueled by Renegade riders Wil Hahn and Jimmy Decotis weathered the crash-filled 250sx heats to capture 'opener top 10's in the main and the championship standings.
Several Renegade fueled privateers also had outstanding outings in Texas, with Jimmy Decotis and Cole Thompson finishing 3rd and 4th respectively in heat race 1 and Vince Friese, Levi Kilbarger and Brad Ripple covering 2nd through 4th respectively in heat 2; in all, 50 percent of the combined 250sx and 450sx top-20 finishers were fueled by Renegade.
