“I kept my head down and put in 15 great laps,” said Windham after his win. “The first few laps of the race, Davi [Millsaps] and I had a good battle going. I was probably the only rider here today that was excited when the rain came because I enjoy these conditions.”
Windham took third at the final round of the 2010 AMA Supercross season at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev. He finishes the season second overall.

It is twice as sweet having come back from the disappointment of my sea-
son-ending injury last year. We have worked hard as a team and it has really paid off.”
The 10th round of the 2010 AMA Supercross season, including the fourth round of the Lites Eastern Regional Supercross Championship, was held March 13 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. Team AMSOIL Lites racer Justin Barcia got off to a great start in the main event and never looked back, taking his first career pro victory. Teammate Brett Metcalfe finished sixth.“I was just on it tonight,” said Barcia. “I got the holeshot in my heat race and that gave me the line I wanted for the main event and I was able to get the holeshot again. I got way ahead in the race and I was pretty excited and I made a few mistakes, hit some bales and went off the track there for a second, but I stayed up front and managed to open my lead back up again after that. I feel like I’ve learned a lot in the four races I’ve run.”
In the 450 class, Team AMSOIL star Kevin Windham finished fifth, marking the 100th top-five finish of his illustrious career.
The 11th round of the 2010 AMA Supercross season, including the fifth round of the Lites Eastern Regional Supercross Championship, was held March 20 at Cowboy Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

The AMSOIL Shock Therapy and Excaliber monster trucks put on an unforgettable show for a record-set- ting crowd of 74,000 fans in Jacksonville. Competing in a field of 16 of the world’s greatest monster trucks, Excaliber driver Carl VanHorn took the racing victory by pushing the truck as hard as it would go, with the final jump providing the edge he needed for victory. Twisting sideways in the air, VanHorn skillfully spun the truck from the tire sidewalls onto the nose, then back to the ground for a spectacular save.
In the freestyle event, Shock Therapy driver Jon Zimmer hit every obstacle at full speed. Although he was well on his way to the victory, Zimmer attempted a cross-thread on the biggest obstacle in the track. Coming up just short, the truck twisted into a cartwheel and ended up on its roof. VanHorn also had a spec- tacular run, thrilling fans with big air, donuts and cross- threads. Both Shock Therapy and Excaliber finished in the top half of the freestyle field.
