ROUND 7 - LUCAS OIL STADIUM, INDIANAPOLIS, IN - FEBRUARY 20th    

LOS ANGELES, CA (February 22nd, 2010) -
Moving from outdoor stadiums to indoor, the 2010 Monster Energy AMA
Supercross, an FIM World Championship, continued this weekend with a
stop at the Lucas Oil stadium in Indianapolis, IN.  Team San Manuel
Yamaha's Josh Hill started the evening on a high-note ultimately
finishing ninth, still remaining second overall in the championship
points race behind Dungey and Villapoto, who are tied for the lead.

Saturday evening's
race action taking place before an enormous crowd of 60,019 had Hill
winning Heat Race 1, by an impressive 4.6 seconds, for the direct
transfer to the main event. Teammate and current Supercross Champ,
James Stewart, remains sidelined and continues rehab work,
post-scaphoid surgery on his right wrist.


In the Main Event, Hill had difficulty manuevering through traffic and
was out of the gate 12th.  Persistent and remounting even after a few
tumbles, Hill still managed a top-10 spot finishing the seventh round
of the series 9th.


Post-race, Hill had this to say, “After an off night like this, I am
just going to move on and regroup. I am going to evaluate what the
mistakes were and look into why things happened the way they did. I
will work hard with Larry Brooks and my team and just continue to move
forward.”
