Monster Energy SX_021716

Monster Energy Supercross has been competing in the Dallas area since 1975, the second year of the championship.

The championship was hosted at Texas Stadium, in Irving, on 28 occasions from 1975-2008 before moving to the state-of-the-art AT&T Stadium, in Arlington, in 2009.

In total, a stop in North Texas has been on the schedule in 36 of the 43 years of Monster Energy Supercross. The Dallas area has been a part of the championship longer than any other active stadium location.

With it’s immense size, seating capacity of 80,000 and what was once the largest high-definition television screen in the world, AT&T Stadium is one of the world’s modern marvels.

450SX Class Stats:

2015 Podium: Ryan Dungey, Ken Roczen, Trey Canard

The first 450SX Class race held in North Texas was on February 28, 1975. Jimmy Ellis won on a Can-Am. It was Can-Am’s first ever 450SX Class victory. Ellis gave Can-Am all of its seven 450SX Class wins.

Since 1983 there has been a 450SX Class in North Texas every season except 2009.

North Texas hosted the final win for three riders: Mike Bell (1983), David Bailey (1986), and Jeff Emig (1997).

In 1977 the Dallas Supercross had nine different brands in the top 20: Bultaco, Honda, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, Maico, Ossa, Penton, Suzuki, and Yamaha. Can-Am’s Ellis did not qualify for the race, which would have made it 10.

Chad Reed has the most 450SX Class wins in North Texas with four.

Dungey is looking to become the eighth rider to win back-to-back races in North Texas.

The winner in North Texas has gone on to win the 450SX Class Championship 15 times in 35 races, including three of the last four seasons and four of the previous six seasons.

Both Ricky Carmichael and Jeremy McGrath won just two times in North Texas.
