There were plenty of action at the AMA Pro Motocross Championship round-7 at the Spring Creek Motocross Park on Saturday as Suzuki's Ryan Dungey earned his second victory of the season, and a fourth consecutive win at his hometown track.

As the gates dropped on the opening 450 Class moto, it was points leader Chad Reed (Honda) who grabbed the early lead in search of his fifth win of the year. Dungey and American Honda's Trey Canard were on his tail.

The trio of riders ran fender-to-fender throughout the first three laps, before a mistake by Canard allowed Reed and Dungey to pull away. As the laps wore on, Reed gradually began to extend his lead, eventually carrying it to the finish for his seventh moto win of the season.

In Moto 2, Reed, Dungey, and Ryan Villopoto (Kawasaki) moved up front early.

But then, Reed lost control of his bike heading into the track's largest jump and fell from mid air. Villopoto assumed the lead, while Dungey moved into second.

Reed would manage to come away without serious injury and continue on to limit his lost.

Villopoto proceeded to extend his advantage to over six seconds, however, as he came into lapped traffic, Dungey managed to trim the deficit to mere bike lengths. On Lap 13, Dungey worked his way alongside Villopoto and made a pass for the lead.

From there, Dungey extended his lead to post 2-1 moto scores on the day.

Villopoto's runner-up effort in the final moto landed him second on the overall podium (3-2), while Canard rounded things out in his 450 Class motocross debut in third (5-3).

Reed battled back to finish 14th, capturing fifth overall (1-14) and maintaining his points lead, which now sits at six points over Villopoto, and seven points over Dungey.
