After a record-setting 71,009 fans packed the Georgia Dome for last year’s Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, race, the world’s greatest racers are returning to the Georgia clay this Saturday night, led by points leader Davi Millsaps.

The championship points race gives Rockstar Energy Racing’s Millsaps a 21-point lead over Ryan Dungey and a 24-point lead over Ryan Villopoto as the championship nears its halfway point.

The key to Millsaps’ success this year has been his consistency. He has finished on the podium in six of seven races this season and has yet to finish outside of the top five.

“It was definitely a good 20 laps,” said Millsaps after the race at Cowboys Stadium. “I haven’t ridden all week because I’ve been sick, so it’s good to come away with a strong finish. Ryan rode really well, so you have to give it to him.”

Red Bull KTM’s Dungey finished third overall. Bad luck continues to follow Team Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart. After winning his heat race earlier in the evening, Stewart was unable to start the main event, citing a broken clutch. He dropped to ninth in the championship.

Australia’s Chad Reed will enter this weekend’s round fifth in the championship standings for TwoTwo Motorsports.

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Dean Wilson won the opening race of the Eastern Regional 250SX Class Championship last weekend and brings a three-point lead into this weekend’s race.

During last year’s annual stop at the Georgia Dome, Dungey grabbed his second win of the season and the ninth of his career. GEICO Honda’s Kevin Windham, who retired earlier this season, made history by making his 200th career 450SX Class start.

Last year’s Eastern Regional 250SX Class main event was won by Justin Barcia who is now racing in the premier class.

The first supercross race held in Atlanta was 5 March 1977 and Bob Hannah won on a Yamaha. On 22 February 1986, Honda rider Keith Turpin won the first-ever 250SX Class main event in Atlanta.

To date, Ricky Carmichael sits on top of the 450SX Class’ all-time win list at the Georgia Dome with five wins. Carmichael, Brian Swink and Christophe Pourcel share the 250SX Class’ all-time win record with two.
