Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey showed the world that he's a world-class racing talent at the 64th running of the Motocross of Nations, hosted by Thunder Valley in Lakewood, Colorado, this past weekend.
Dungey took the individual MX1 class win as captain of Team USA, and was able to help keep the Chamberlin Trophy in America for another year.
This marks the 21st time Team USA has taken home the top award in the Motocross of Nations, and the second year in a row that Dungey and his Suzuki helped secure the win for America.
In front of a staggering crowd of 32,000 race fans, Dungey and his Suzuki fuel-injected RM-Z450 were the fastest in the MX1 practice session on Saturday, putting in the best time with all the power and performance RM-Z has to offer.
Dungey was hopeful for a great showing in the qualifier, but suffered some setbacks that placed him fourth for the day. On Sunday, Dungey was determined to be back on top of the leader board.
Race 1 on Sunday featured the MX1 and MX2 class. Dungey got a great start on his RM-Z450 and took over the lead by lap two of the race. True to form, he then dominated the rest of the race. Dungey won by a margin of 5.5 seconds, making it known to the world that he's one of the fastest racers anywhere. After Race 2, which Dungey was not a part of, Team USA was five points down in the standings behind Germany, but looking to change that in Race 3.
