Stewart was dominant on the day and went on to post a solid 1-1 moto finish to notch his fifth overall victory of his AMA Motocross career. Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Mike Alessi finished 2-2 for second overall while Red Bull Honda’s Davi Millsaps, of Cairo, Ga., was third with a 3-3.

“I am stoked to come back and get a 1-1 today,” said Stewart, who has missed a majority of the 2008 season with an injured knee. “We have been working hard. I didn’t know where I was going to be at, but I was having a blast out there. I feel like we can improve and each we can get better. I’m looking forward to going to Sacramento (next week) and that track is rough and it should be hot.”

Stroupe capitalized on a strong opening moto, using his runner-up finish to help overcome a fall in moto two while in the lead. After falling to fourth, he battled with teammate Brett Metcalfe to take over the third spot in the closing laps. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s and defending AMA Motocross Lites champion Ryan Villopoto overcame a tough first moto to take the top spot in moto two, posting a 5-1 for second overall. Boost Mobile Yamaha of Troy’s Jason Lawrence took third overall, garnering his first moto win in the opening race and backing it with a fifth place in moto two.

“I came (into the season) ready to go,” said Stroupe, starting his first full season as a pro. “But it’s going to be tough. Ryan (Villopoto) got a really bad start in the first moto and we had to play catch up with Jason Lawrence. But other than that, me and Brett (Metcalfe) rode a strong race and had a good battle. In the second moto I made a mistake. We were running a faster pace and he (Villopoto) was pressuring me and my front wheel washed out and put me on my back. It took me a couple laps to get back but I made a clean pass on Brett later on.”
