CORONA,
Calif., (May 8, 2012) – The Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki
race team rolled into Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas this past weekend
for this year’s final round of Monster Energy Supercross. The
action-packed night saw Dean Wilson, Blake Baggett and Broc Tickle
take to the track for the final time this year in their respective
classes, and also pitted Supercross Lites riders from both coasts
against each other for the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Shootout.

Wilson
was on a mission to rebound from last week’s DNF in Salt Lake City.
He was on the attack as he navigated through the field after a bad
start in the Supercross Lites West Region Main Event. He began
picking riders off one-by-one, and eventually finished in the
second-place spot after a hard-fought race. He ends the series second
overall in the Supercross Lites West Region point standings.

overall in the Supercross Lites East Region point standings.

Wilson
and Baggett were looking to dominate in the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West
Shootout, but both were plagued with mid-pack starts that prevented
them from making an impact. Both riders are now eager to embark on
the upcoming 2012 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship Series, and
are looking forward to a competitive season.
