Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto earned a 1-1 finish at the penultimate round of the series at Steel City Raceway in Delmont, Pa and extended his points lead as he looks to add an AMA Motocross Championship title to the FIM World Supercross Championship he won in May. Villopoto finished on top of the podium in both motos, including a last-lap, last-turn pass in the first moto which helped him extend his points lead to 14. “It was really tough out there,” said Villopoto. “It was pretty slippery also, especially after they watered it, so you had to be careful for the first couple laps until you found your rhythm. I’m really happy with today’s result and I’m looking forward to getting to Pala and wrapping this season up.” The exciting 2011 AMA Motocross season heads to Pala Raceway, near San Diego, Calif. for the final round. With a 14-point lead, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Villopoto knows he has a small cushion in the standings, but he will need to push hard to bring home the title.
