Chino, Calif. - February 8, 2010 - Yoshimura R&D of America had a spectacular night in San Diego on Saturday,
where Round 5 of the AMA Supercross took place, thanks to the
extraordinary race
efforts of Honda Red Bull Racing's Davi Millsaps. Millsaps and his
Yoshimura-powered CRF450R dominated the main event and took first place
on a very rain-slicked track. Saturday marked the first win for
Millsaps in the 2010 season.


"It's awesome to be back on top again," said Millsaps. "I'm really
happy to put the Honda Red Bull Racing team and our sponsors on the
podium two weeks in a row. There's no better result than winning. I
felt good in the lead up to this
event and I did my best to be as prepared as possible for whatever
weather conditions came our way." Millsaps teammate, Andrew Short, was
running second in the main event until he came up short on a triple.


Another Yoshimura-powered race bike, the No. 5 of Rockstar Makita
Suzuki's Ryan Dungey, made some waves when Dungey took the holeshot in
his heat race and won the race after taking the lead in the second to
last lap. In the main event,
Dungey had some bad luck at the first turn and had to come from the
back of the pack. Dungey, with a damaged radiator, finished sixth
overall and remains the points leader in the highly competitive 450
Supercross class.



Davi Millsaps took his first win of the season with a great performance on Saturday night aboard his CRF450R with a Yoshimura exhaust. He's currently sixth in overall points for the season.
