2009 Salt Lake City Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship (Round 16 of 17)

This is round 16 of the 2009 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship from Rice Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT. Returning contenders like Supercross rookies Ryan Villopoto, Josh Grant, and Broc Hepler, Tim Ferry, 2007 champ James Stewart, Ivan Tedesco, Andrew Short, Supercross sophomores Josh Hill and Mike Alessi, Michael Byrne, Davi Millsaps, 2008 Supercross runner-up Kevin Windham, and defending champ Chad Reed battle it out for the 2009 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship. This is Ryan Villopoto's rookie season in the Supercross class. Chad Reed runs the number 1 plate in a Supercross season for the first time since Jeremy McGrath in 2001. Team Suzuki's Mike Alessi fails to qualify for the main after losing a close friend earlier in the week. This race is well known for James Stewart's San Manuel Yamaha teammate Kyle Chisholm making a controversial move on Chad Reed, thus ruining the Chad Reed/James Stewart battle the crowd was being entertained to, and resulting in a black flag for the Yamaha rider, and the sport's first since Steve Boniface at Las Vegas 2005. Enjoy.
