Stat Check

As supercross enters the pointy end of the season we take a quick look at some interesting facts.

• Ken Roczen’s eighth career 450SX Class win not only signified a career-best mark of four wins in a season, but also tied him for 20th on the all-time wins list with Ron Lechien and Jimmy Ellis.
• Ryan Dungey posted his 31st straight podium finish. In doing so, he tied Ricky Carmichael for third on the all-time career podium list with 87. He also equaled Carmichael’s all-time record podium percentage of 75.66% and shares Carmichael’s career starts at 115.
• A podium finish in East Rutherford would make Dungey the most statistically consistent rider in Monster Energy Supercross history, giving him the highest percentage of podium results, top-five finishes and top-10 finishes all time.
• Dungey needs to finish 14th or better at MetLife Stadium in order to clinch his third career 450SX Class title. He has just two finishes outside the top 10 in his entire 450SX Class career.
• Eli Tomac’s runner-up finish was his best result since winning in Daytona Beach, Florida, for the ninth race of the season. It is also his first podium finish since he won, giving him three podiums this season.
