Designed by Honda Red Bull’s Ivan Tedesco (and based entirely on San Diego ’04), the Dallas track that was created for last Saturday night’s Monster Energy AMA Supercross provided plenty of lines and tight racing in both classes, with the exception of the leaders, who both inched away from second-place. The lap times hovered in the low- to mid 50-second range, and surprisingly, the winner didn’t register the fastest time in one of the classes.

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto is showing improvement each week, and he rode 15 flawless laps in Dallas, his fastest coming on lap four when he logged a time of 53.048—the top time in the class. The rider who he’s chasing for the Eastern Regional Lites championship, Trey Canard, clocked the second-fastest time with a 53.926, coming on lap 14 after a heroic charge through the field following an early crash.
 
Canard’s teammate Josh Grant was next with a 54.131, coming on lap two, while RV’s teammate Branden Jesseman followed that with a 54.954. Rounding out the top five was MDK KTM’s Martin Davalos (55.089), who finished on the podium for the third time this season. Check out the rest of the Lites lap times below:
