Team San Manuel Yamaha's Josh Hill Takes Seventh

Stewart Aiming for Houston Return
ROUND 12 -
MUNICIPAL STADIUM, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA - MARCH 27th 

LOS ANGELES,
CA (March 29TH, 2010) - Moving south, the 2010
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, ran the 12th
stop of the series at Jacksonville, Florida's Municipal Stadium. 
Before a Saturday
evening crowd of 38,321, Team San Manuel's Josh Hill finished
seventh still remaining third in the overall championship points race
with 206 points. Teammate and current Supercross Champion, James
Stewart, continues extensive rehabilitation on his right wrist and is
hoping to make his return to racing at the Houston stop of the series on April 10th.


Hill ran Heat Race 2 finishing the eight-lap heat fifth for the direct
transfer to the Main. In the Main event Hill was fast out of the gate
running the first portion of the race with the top 5 riders.  At the
halfway point, Hill was still running a steady race right up until the
very last lap holding onto a seventh place spot and more importantly
maintaining valuable points.  Hill's 7th place finish, in the 20-lap
race, keeps him 3rd in the overall championship race.


Post race Hill had this to say, “It was a rough race for me tonight but I
am going to take advantage of this week off and work hard with my
team.  I can't thank the whole San Manuel Yamaha team enough for all of
their hard work and continued awesome support - I am very grateful!”
