Saturday, 05 December 2009 07:18

Chad Reed, the 2009 AMA Motocross Champion, two-time AMA Supercross Champion, and defending Australasian Supercross Series Champion, has won the 2009 Australasian Supercross Series Championship!

The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider won the seventh and final round of the Monster Energy Super X series at QSAC stadium in Brisbane tonight. American Honda rider Davi Millsaps finished second, with Jay Marmont taking the third spot on the podium.

In the final series championship point standings, Daniel Reardon finished second, and Jay Marmont finished third.

This event was the biggest Australian supercross race ever, and had the largest track ever as well - over one kilometer in length, and using 7,500 tons of dirt.

Tonight's winner, and new supercross champion Chad Reed said: I just want to say a huge thanks to Kawasaki and Monster Energy and I am so excited for the new year. We have had a few ups and downs this series, but that's racing and it's great to finish on top. We really stepped up the series this year and I am proud to be a part of it. I like the direction the series is going and want to thank everyone involved. I know next year is going to be even bigger and better.

American Kyle Cunningham won the 250 Lites event tonight. Matt Moss clinched the 250 championship a couple rounds ago, has been riding in the 450 Supercross class, but had a tough night tonight.

Monster Energy Super X will return to Australia and New Zealand in 2010, with the series calendar to be released early next year.
