Lites heat race two start

Lined up for the second Supercross Lites heat race, it was hard not to think that Christophe Pourcel (Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki) wouldn't leave the race in Houston with the title. Austin Stroupe (Rockstar Makita Suzuki) had crashed in practice with Kyle Cunningham (Valli Motorsports Rockstar Yamaha), injured his shoulder, and was unable to race. That left Pourcel suddenly had a huge lead over Justin Barcia (GEICO Powersports Honda). On yeah...after passing Michael Willard (Honda of Troy) early on, Pourcel took the heat race win.
