250 East Lites 15 Lap Main Event
It only took fourth place to secure the title win for Justin Barcia on Saturday night, with the upcoming Alex Martin able to pull the holeshot from an outside position, swinging around the first turn, followed by Darryn Durham and Malcom Stewart. Martin was able to hold the lead for one lap before being overtaken by Durham, Stewart, and Barcia. Durham quickly opened a comfortable lead on Stewart who was running strong in second place while Barcia seemed to be riding protectively in third.
On lap four, Stewart made a big mistake in the whoops, cartwheeling off the track and ending his night early. This handed second place to Barcia, but he was soon under pressure from both Blake Bagget and Raptor Titanium's Ken Roczen. For several laps, the two riders hounded Barcia until both were able to pass the defending champion in the turn before the whoops.
Shortly thereafter, Durham made a mistake while in the lead, running into some tuff blocks before the first triple. The incident forced him to double the triple jump and allowed his teammate, Baggett to move within striking distance. For the remaining several laps the two riders within one seconds of one another. In the final lap, Baggett tried to stuff Durham in a corner, but the move didn't stick. Durham held on for the first win of his career. Baggett and Justin Bogle completed the podium while Barcia and Roczen finished out the top five.

450 Supercross 20 lap Main Event
2012 SX Champion Ryan Villopoto was able to take the holeshot followed by a fantastic start from Hart & Huntington Kawasaki and Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Josh Grant as well as Raptor Titanium's Mike Alessi in third. Several other riders caught caught up in a first turn crash while Weimer had troubles of his own on the first lap, going off the track after the first triple, then sliding out on the slick stadium floor concrete.
Meanwhile, a few riders who had poor starts, such as Justin Brayton and Andrew Short, were working their way up through the pack. By the midway point, the two riders were up to fourth and fifth, followed by Brett Metcalfe, Nico Izzi, and Davi Millsaps. Metcalfe was eventually able to make a pass on Short on lap 12 to move into fifth place.
While Villopoto continued to runaway with the lead, Grant was quietly having his best race of the last several years, looking smooth and consistent in second place. Alessi was also enjoying his best race of the season until Justin Sipes, who was being lapped and should have moved out of the way for the faster rider, got in the way. The two riders came togther in the turn between the two on/off jumps, with only Alessi falling to the ground. The collision dropped Alessi to 14th place and Brayton inherited the final podium position.
At the finish it was Villopoto with his ninth win of the season. Grant took second and Brayton third. Short and Metcalfe completed the top five.
