Kawasaki‰Ûªs Timmy Ferry picked up his first win in six years before a crowd of 26,342 at the Unbound Energy National Presented by Snap-on, Scott USA and Yamaha, round eight of the AMA Toyota Motocross Championship Presented by FMF. New Zealander Ben Townley claimed his fourth AMA Motocross Lites overall victory of the season. Ferry used two second-place finishes and some fortunate happenings in the close of the second moto to capture his first overall victory since a 2001 win at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, Calif. With Yamaha‰Ûªs Grant Langston safely out front in moto two, Ferry‰Ûªs Kawasaki teammate James Stewart was in position to capture the overall win before a late-race crash ended his day and handed the win to Ferry. Langston, who finished fourth in the first moto, wound up finishing second overall while Honda‰Ûªs Andrew Short was third with a 3-4 moto finish. Stewart was carted off the track by the medical crew with an apparent injured knee. His status was unknown at the time of this release. ‰ÛÏI was doing the math (on who was going to win the overall) as we were getting close to the end but still didn‰Ûªt realise that I had won when we came off the track,‰Û
