DC Creates New $10,000 Challenge for 2014 Monster Energy Supercross Season
AURORA, Ill. (January10, 2014) – Feld Motor Sports® announced today that DC Shoes, the official and exclusive footwear and title sponsor of the DC Shoes Defy Convention Last Chance Qualifier Race, will post a $10,000 bonus at each Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, this season.
Entering their fourth year as a Monster Energy Supercross sponsor, DC Shoes will pay any rider – in both the 250SX or 450SX Class -- $10,000 if they win the DC Shoes Defy Convention Last Chance Qualifier Race as well as the Main Event.
“At DC, we recognize that the path to the podium isn’t always the straightest and the sweetest victories are often the ones that are hardest to achieve,” said Jeff Taylor, Senior Vice President of Global Brand and Marketing, DC Shoes. “Monster Energy Supercross already provides a tremendous fan experience and the DC Defy Convention LCQ Challenge will give race fans even more to root for.”
Some of the sport’s greatest names, including Jeff Emig, Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Carmichael have been a part of DC Shoes’ elite motocross team. Fans can visit their interactive display in the Monster Energy Party in the Pits during all season long as they pay tribute to their roots in the sport.
For the first-time ever, the entire Monster Energy Supercross season will air live on FOX Sports. FOX Sports 1 will air 13 races live and FOX Sports 2 will air four races live, in addition to every race re-airing on FOX Sports 2.

Feld pulling sponsors for the LCQ, at 10 large per event.
The road race guys would foam at the mouth for something like that, even for their main.
What is the probability that from a bad gate pick, the same top gun win the main ? 2.2% probability ?
The Shop
It could happen in the 250 class but with the semis returning the odds in the 450 class have to be very low. In the 450 class I can only remember an LCQ/Main event winner happening twice when MC and RV did it. MC did it when the semis still existed and RV did it when he punched a hole in his water pump cover and DNF'd the heat before winning the LCQ.
I'm pretty sure a "fast 40" rider can just choose to race the LCQ if they want to. I mean, if anything, you could just fake a mechanical issue until the LCQ. It might sound a little risky, but one of the top 5 could surely secure a win in the LCQ.
I'd love to see someone do it at every round (in both classes) just to call their bluff and keep them honest. Oh they would shit if they had to give up $320K this season. Of course those would be amazing odds, just saying, thats what's on the line.
Dungey recovered from a first lap crash to get the final transfer spot. I think that was the first time a rider with the last qualifying spot went on to win the main event.
Sounds Great, Smells more like bullshit.
This is the one I am talking about.
