450SX Class: Oakland Stats
The first race was held on January 18, 1979, and Jimmy Weinert won on a Kawasaki
This will be the sixth time the gate will drop in Oakland for a 450SX Class race
In 1980, Kent Howerton won on a Suzuki
In 1984, Ron Lechein won a Honda; it was his first race aboard a Honda
In 1979, Jimmy Weinert used a paddle tire to win on the all sand track in Oakland; the AMA would later outlaw the use of the paddle tire. He also won the last 450SX Class race of his career that year in Daytona.
James Stewart has won two-in-a-row in Oakland with his 2011 and 2012 wins; the two-time Monster Energy Supercross Champion has yet to earn a win this season
Stewart’s win last year in Oakland broke a five-race winless streak
Chad Reed earned the 117th podium of his career and his 126th top five in Oakland last year
Villopoto earned his 28th career podium finish with a third in Oakland
Reed, Villopoto, and Ryan Dungey are the only three racers to be in the top five after Oakland
Andrew Short earned a season-best fifth place and his third top 10 of the 2012 season in Oakland
The top four finishers in last year’s Main Event in Oakland were former 450SX Class Champions, Stewart, Reed, Dungey and Villopoto, respectively; this was the first time in the sport’s history that this has happened.
