TEAM SAN MANUEL YAMAHA'S JOSH HILL MAINTAINS THIRD PLACE SPOT IN CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS RACE

ROUND 14 - EDWARD JONES DOME, ST. LOUIS, MO - APRIL 17TH  

LOS ANGELES, CA (April 19, 2010) -
Saturday evening's 14th round of the 2010 Monster Energy AMA
Supercross, an FIM World Championship, ran before an exuberant crowd of
59,882 at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, MO.  Team San Manuel's
Josh Hill maintains the third place spot in the overall championship
race with 225 points while teammate and current series Champ, James
Stewart, continues ongoing rehab with hopes of returning to the track
this season.


Hill started the evening running Heat Race 2 and finishing the
eight-lap heat ninth for the direct transfer to the Main.  Quick out of
the gate in the Main event, Hill ran most of the race with the top-10
pack however, the combination of the soft St. Louis dirt, which broke
down and rutted quickly, along with requisite long jump combinations,
brought about several collision laps.   With the season nearing a
close, and each rider literally battling for every spot, Hill finished
13th, still keeping his third-place spot in the overall championship
points race. 


Post race Hill had this to say, “That was some over the top racing
tonight!  This week the track was tough but in a different way than
Houston.  With three races left in the season, I'd want to get my Team
San Manuel Yamaha back up on the podium again!  My entire team and
everyone at San Manuel and each and everyone of my sponsors have been
soo supportive - for me personally it has been a really good season!”
