Inside Reliant Stadium, The Sports Syndicate’s Ryan Villopoto won his fifth consecutive Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, race in front of 49,438 fans. Villopoto gained the lead on the opening lap, and held his position during the entire race to the checkered flag for the win. The race marked Villopoto’s second-consecutive win at Reliant Stadium and he extended his points lead to 21. “It was tough out there tonight,” said Villopoto. “The track was breaking down out there, and there were several variables that we had to deal with. You had to move quickly out there tonight, and that is what I did in the early part of the race. I wanted to establish a lead before the lapped riders would begin to play a factor in the race.” AMA Supercross racing resumes next Saturday, April 13 at Minneapolis’ Metrodome
