After a week of torrential rain prior to the second 2010 Anaheim event, the Feld Entertainment crew pulled off a miracle in delivering an outstanding track for racing. Anticipating the deluge, the promoters constructed the track earlier than usual, and covered the track. They also stock piled a stash of nearby dirt. When the skies cleared Saturday morning, the crew, who had been pumping off water the entire week, pulled off the covers, used equipment to scrape away and remove mud, and brought in the stored dry dirt. The result was near perfect conditions for the second of three visits to Angel Stadium during the series. Both Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX Team riders, Justin Brayton and the recently signed Michael Byrne easily qualified for the main event, although Brayton overca

Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. was the site for round two of the AMA Supercross Championship. Josh Grant, who just had successful shoulder surgery last week was on hand to cheer on his Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX teammate Justin Brayton.

The Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX Team kicked off the 2010 AMA Supercross Championship Series at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. As reported earlier, Josh Grant, the winner of the event last year was injured while practicing last Tuesday, and his status going into the event was uncertain. Josh was still very sore during the first practice, but was able to ride well enough to qualify for the night program. He elected to sit out the second practice to rest and prepare for the race.
