In front of over 50,000 fans inside San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium, Rockstar Energy Racing’s Davi Millsaps clinched his second 450SX main event win of the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross season.

Millsaps pulled the Nuclear Cowboyz holeshot with RCH/Dodge/Sycuan/Suzuki’s Broc Tickle and TwoTwo Motorsports’ Chad Reed following in second and third positions.

Tickle faded further back into the pack, while Millsaps, Reed and Honda Muscle Milk’s Justin Barcia pushed forward to open up a sizeable gap over the rest of the field.

Reed, the most succesful rider inside Qualcomm Stadium with six wins to his name, was on the move and closing on Millsaps, before losing his front end in a corner and falling back to seventh position.

Behind Millsaps it was Barcia who held on for second place, while Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey moved his way into the third and final podium position.

Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart took fourth, while Reed clawed his way back to fifth place, finishing one spot ahead of the 450SX defending champion Ryan Villopoto of the Monster Energy Kawasaki team.
