It was KTM's first ever podium finish in the 450 main event on Saturday night as Ryan Dungey started his first race for the orange team on Raptor Titanium footpegs coming a fantastic third place after battling with James Stewart, who was having an excellent race himself until crashing in lap 15.
Ryan Villopoto on the Monster Energy Kawasaki looked untouchable after a blistering 2011 season and looks to not have lost none of his form. The Australian Chad Reed came second.

250 Lites Main Event
With 2011 FIM World MX2 Champion Ken Roczen sidelined with a broken arm, it was down to 2009 and 2010 FIM MX2 Champion Marvin Musquin to put in a performance in the opening round of the 2012 supercross lites class for KTM and Raptor Titanium, and he didn't disappoint finishing in fourth place.
Star Racing Yamaha and Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Ryan Sipes also put in a strong performance coming in fifth behind Musquin after Wilson's mistake on the last corner.
However, the star of the evening on Raptor Titanium footpegs was Geico Honda's Eli Tomac, who battled with the 2011 250 Lites AMA Champion Dean Wilson on the Pro Circuit Kawasaki to the very end, capitalizing on a mistake from Wilson at the very last corner to take third place and the podium spot!
