Dungey signs out 2015 with Vegas win

1 of 4

The new 2015 AMA Supercross champion Ryan Dungey has signed out the season with a win in the season finale in Las Vegas, taking the top spot from Eli Tomac and Weston Pieck.

Leading from flag to flag and taking the Holeshot Award in the process, Dungey was unstoppable on the night. Trading the lead on the opening lap with Tomac, a crash from the Honda rider gave him the break he needed on the Red Bull KTM.

“We really pushed the pace out there tonight and went back forth during the early part of the race” said Dungey. “This was a great year; I set a new personal record for most wins in a season with eight and couldn’t be happier.” 

Tomac remounted for second, and Weston Pieck gave Yamaha a podium finish to the year in third after holding off early advances from legend of the sport Chad Reed.

With the season over, the AMA series moves outdoors for the summer, before returning to Las Vegas for the big-money Supercross World Cup in October.
