Round one of the Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Series was simultaneously full of surprises and fulfilled expectations. San Manuel Yamaha's Chad Reed was somewhat of a surprise winner in the 450cc class over defending champ (and 13-race winner in 2007) James Stewart of the Monster Energy Kawasaki squad. In the Lites class, however, it would be foolish at this point to call it a surprise to see Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey win a main event, because he did so at Anaheim I for the fifth time in nine career AMA Supercross races.
But now the mud of Anaheim I is replaced with a guaranteed dry track inside Phoenix, Arizona's Chase
Not a single one of Reed's 27 career AMA Supercross victories has come in Phoenix. Stewart, on the other hand, has won there three times – twice on 125s and last year on his KX450F on his way to the championship. However, if their respective speed at Anaheim I is any indicator, it's a safe bet to say that the 450cc main event is going to come down to a battle between Reed and Stewart.
