After a two week break from racing, the AMA Supercross FIM World Championship series, heads to Seattle Washington for round 15 of the 17 round season. After a second win in a row in the series, San Miguel Yamaha's James Stewart is now a mere 5 points behind Rockstar Makita Suzuki's own Chad Reed in the points race for the final round in Las Vegas on May 2nd.

Chad Reed has not won since the St. Louis Round; where James Stewart recovered from a series of crashes, yet still came up short, settling for second place. Since Round 12, the story has been the same. Stewart vs. Reed. Reed needs to beat Stewart to the line at least once more to solidify his championship, with only two rounds remaining!

For the first time back from a viral infection, Washington’s own, Ryan Villapoto will be back on the seat, after a two week break due to his illness. With weather reaching a possible 70 degrees in downtown Seattle, and the drama in the 450 class coming to a close, the racing at Seattle should be some of the best seen all year!
