Brayton earns 5th at Dallas SX

The 30th AMA Supercross event to be held in Dallas and the first to be hosted by the impressive monolith that is the Cowboys Stadium saw Muscle Milk Joe Gibbs Racing's Justin Brayton finish 5th on his YZ450F. The eleventh round of seventeen in the 2010 series (also a FIM World Championship) took place in front of 49,082 spectators and witnessed San Manuel LandM Yamaha's Josh Hill continue to persevere through injury and claim 6th. Hill started well in the main event but again the rib complaint he has been carrying for the last four meetings affected his speed and saw him circulate just outside the top five, taking sixth place by the end of the twenty laps. Brayton at one stage fought with the winner of the last two races, Ryan Villopoto, and would finish three seconds behind the rider from Seattle. 'I got an okay start but then I was trying to make something happen and nothing much was happening,' said Brayton. 'Before I knew it, I had Villopoto all over me, so it was all I could do just to try and hold my position, and I almost held onto it. I don't feel I rode that well but I still grabbed a top-five, so that's positive I guess.' Valli Motorsports Ivan Tedesco did not complete the full distance after becoming involved in the aftermath of a crash by team-mate Kyle Regal. Kyle Chisholm (eighth) and Jason Lawrence (ninth) were other YZ450F runners in the first ten riders classified.

A YZ250F made the podium for the first time in the East Coast Lites competition as Ryan Sipes battled for the lead with Blake Bagget and eventually went on to finish runner-up for his first set of silverware this season. Two YZ250Fs claimed top four positions in Dallas as Martin Davalos crossed the finish-line jump in fourth. In the SX standings Hill remains 3rd, 47 points away from Ryan Dungey in first position and 23 from Villopoto in second. Brayton is sixth and Tedesco seventh. Round twelve takes place next Saturday at the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida.
