Villopoto wins AMA Supercross race in Anaheim; Hill and Dungey tied for lead in standings

Ryan Villopoto won his second Monster Energy AMA Supercross race of the season. Josh Hill finished second for the fourth week in a row.
Round 6 of the AMA Supercross season at Angel Stadium on Saturday night ended with Hill and Ryan Dungey tied for first in the standings and Villopoto sitting in third, three points behind the leaders.
Villopoto led from start to finish and built a nearly six-second at one point in the race. His win pulled him well within striking distance of the lead in the AMA Supercross standings.
“It’s a good spot to be in going back East,” Villopoto said. “I can’t ask for anything more.”
Hill has five podium finishes in six races. His runner-up finish coupled with Dungey’s fourth-place finish, put the two riders tied for first in the AMA Supercross standings.
“I’m happy,” Hill said. “I’ve been on the box every week but one.”
After starting the season with three straight podium finishes, Dungey has not finished on the podium in his last three races.
Hill’s second-place finish at Angel Stadium might have been the most challenging.
“I didn’t ride good all day,” Hill said. “I’m happy with second. I’m just pumped to be up here.”
Kevin Windham finished third, followed by Dungey and Davi Millsaps in fifth.

Josh Hill prepares for AMA Supercross race at Angel Stadium

Josh Hill, a San Manuel Yamaha rider from Murrieta, enters Saturday night's AMA Supercross race at Angel Stadium in Anaheim third in the standings. With James Stewart, the reigning AMA Supercross champion, nursing some injuries from the race in Phoenix, and Chad Reed, a two-time AMA Supercross champion, out at least six weeks with a broke hand, this might be an optimum time for Hill to show off his skills.
Rookie Ryan Dungey is the leader in the AMA Supercross standings. He won the race in Phoenix and came in second in the season opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim.
Seeing a young rider like Dungey have success gives Hill some confidence.

ANAHEIM -- AMA Supercross rider Josh Hill has been looking for a new home on two fronts.

He found one in Murrieta and another with Team San Manuel.

To say he is happy with both homes would be an understatement. His new house is near his new team's headquarters in Temecula. His new team sports the reigning AMA Supercross champion, James Stewart.

The 20-year-old Hill has been counting his blessing as he prepares for the season-opening AMA Supercross race at Angels Stadium in Anaheim on Saturday night.
