Some key insights into this weekend’s race are:
• Villopoto has his sights set on his 70th 450SX Class victory
• Justin Barcia attempts to earn for his fifth top-five finish
• In his first two races back from injury, Trey Canard earned back-to-back top-five finishes for the first time since races three and four in 2013
• Anderson earned the fifth 250SX Class win of his career
• Cole Seely, who finished fourth last weekend, is the only rider to have a top-four finish in each race this year
Last weekend, Villopoto won his fourth race of the 2014 season in front of 49,759 fans at NRG Stadium.
Despite a difficult path to the Main Event that included a hard crash in his Heat Race and a needed win in the Semi, Villopoto put himself up front early after racing to the Nuclear Cowboyz® Holeshot Award to start the 20-lap 450SX Class Main Event.
