HILL WINS FIRST MONSTER ENERGY(R) SUPERCROSS RACE OF HIS CAREER AT METRODOME

Villopoto Pulls out Win on Last Lap

MINNEAPOLIS (March 15, 2008) - Yamaha's Josh Hill, of Yoncalla, Ore.,
won the first Monster Energy(r) AMA Supercross, an FIM World
Championship, race of his career in front of 40,982 fans at the
Metrodome. It was the first race at the Metrodome since 2004. Pro
Circuit Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto, of Poulsbo, Wash., won his first
Eastern Regional AMA Supercross Lites class race of the season.

Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey, of Belle Plaine, Minn., won the
$1,500 Progressive Holeshot Award to open the AMA Supercross class main
event. Following Dungey through turn one was Torco Fuels Honda's Kevin
Windham, of Centerville, Miss., and the championship points leader Chad
Reed, of Tampa, Fla., was fifth.

On lap three Hill moved past Dungey for the lead and began to pull away.
Reed, who rides for Team San Manuel Yamaha, moved into second place and
on lap eight, while on the back wheel of Hill, he crashed and re-started
in ninth place.

Dungey, who competes in the Western Regional AMA Supercross Lites class
championship, moved up to compete in the AMA Supercross class and
finished second. Tonight's race, before his hometown crowd, was his best
finish since moving into the premier class.

"I ripped out of the gate tonight and had a good lead," said Dungey.
"The crowd was behind me 100%, and I could hear them on every lap. This
is only my third race in this class, so I very happy.

"Getting second was amazing a few races ago," said Hill. "I do not know
how to put it into words this win. The season has had its ups and downs,
but this is huge for me. Yamaha put faith in me, and I am grateful for
that."

In the Eastern Regional AMA Supercross Lites class main event, Torco
Fuels Honda's Josh Grant, of Riverside, Calif., won the $1,000
Progressive Holeshot Award, leading Villopoto through turn one. Grant
held the lead until lap six when they traded positions for the
number-one position. Grant held the lead until the last lap of the race,
and in the track's final turn, he came together with Villopoto and
crashed. Grant finished second overall.

"I came here ready to race tonight," said Villopoto. "I am still behind
in the points, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

"This is how I should be racing," said Grant. "I have been having a
tough season so far, but I am really proud of the way the I rode
tonight."

Torco Fuels Honda's Trey Canard, of Elk City, Okla., remains in the
Lites class points lead after finishing fourth.

Tonight's AMA Supercross class race will air on SPEED Sunday, March 16
at 6:00 p.m. The AMA Supercross Lites class race will air on SPEED
