The Amp’d Mobile AMA Supercross Championship is heading forthe home stretch as the series rolls into Detroit’s Ford Field on
Saturday, April 21, and the AMA Supercross Lites East Series is
coming down to the wire and will be decided in Detroit. Three
riders are still in contention for the title. Boost Mobile Yamaha’s
Ryan Morais leads the Lites East standings. Morais has been the
picture of consistency throughout the year. The 24-year old has
finished fifth or better in every round leading up to Detroit.
Morais has twice scored runner up finishes, but has yet to take
victory in the series. The last time a rider won the East title
without winning a race was in 1997 when Tim Ferry earned the
title with steadiness throughout the season. In Detroit, Morais
may have to find the extra gear he needs to win a race since
chief rival Ben Townley, of New Zealand, is only three points
down and can win the championship with a victory. “My plan was
to try and get in the top five in every race and to try and make
the podium as much as I could,” Morais said. “To be honest, I
never expected to be in the hunt for the championship. I would
love to win a race. Hopefully, I’ll be able to win in Detroit, wrap
both things up and win the championship.”
