Angel Stadium in Anaheim hosts Second Annual Monster Energy Supercross Breast Cancer Awareness Race Saturday

Pink-themed supercross race to support the fight against breast cancer

Courtesy Feld Motorsports-Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, heads to Anaheim's Angel Stadium this Saturday for its second annual PINK themed race in support of finding a cure for breast cancer. The PINK supercross race will help fund the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60-mile walk. With the season four races in, San Manuel Yamaha's James Stewart has assumed control of the points lead in the Supercross class with a win last weekend, while Pro Circuit/Monster Energy/Kawasaki's Broc Tickle earned his first win in the Western Regional Supercross Lites class, which puts him one point behind the division leader.

Last weekend before 44,394 fans at a rainy Oakland Coliseum, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto opened the main event by capturing the holeshot. Leading through two laps, Villopoto went down and lost his position to Stewart. Unfazed by a series of hard crashes earlier in the day, Stewart controlled this lead for the remaining 18 laps, registering his second victory of the season. This victory also moved Stewart into first place in the standings with a two point lead over Villopoto.

Five Things to Look For at the Oakland Supercross

As 2011 Supercross heads for the quarter mark of the season, are we already starting to see the list of contenders and pretenders sort themselves out? At minimum, we have seen good racing, bad racing, and even some ugly racing.

Last week's race in Dodger Stadium was one of the most exciting races I have seen in quite a while. As someone who grew up in the shadows of the Oakland Coliseum, I have to say it is a bit depressing to me that the show stops there, now that I am gone! Nevertheless, it is shaping up be another exciting weekend for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series!

Here are a few things I think you should look for Saturday night in Oakland:

1. Exciting Passes in Both Classes
There are a couple of really interesting areas of the track that could make for some great excitement. The most interesting is the area going through the finish line underpass. Coming out of the off camber turn and through the underpass, the fast line appears to be to tuck it in to the inside of the next turn where there is a small jump. The jump can be used to essentially double-double into the sand section. Look a little more closely and you will see that staying inside the off camber turn and running around the outside of the left-hand turn will allow a rider to carry a bunch of momentum and double-single into the sand section. We may even see some guys coming around the outside and tripling into the sand. Either way, it looks like there will a lot of action through that section.

Supercross 2011 is right around the corner! So much is going on, both publicly, but also behind the scenes. One public and noteworthy item - DC Shoes has a new three year contract with Monster Energy Supercross!

I was invited to the 2nd Annual DC Moto TF Ride Day and Invitational Poker Tournament at Pala Raceway. It was a full day's 'work' for the DC Athletes; group photos, action shots, interviews, and lots of MX riding at Pala. And there was good game of Poker to raise money for Road 2 Recovery. The list of Athletes sponsored by the DC Shoes brand is a very impressive group making this Supercross assignment unique fun for me!
