Chad Reed scored his first victory of the 2009 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season with a win at the new Indianapolis venue, and drew even with James Stewart in the points chase with 199 each.
The Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider had to be both good and lucky (twice) to pick up his first season win for Roger DeCoster. Reed finally nailed a holeshot, which forced Stewart into the unfamiliar position of playing catch-up. Stewart would crash, remount and pass for the lead and then crash again to give CR the checkers. Overall it was a great night for DeCoster as another team rider landed on the podium with Mike Alessi snaring third.

JGR Yamaha’s Josh Grant continues his string of consistent finishes with a fourth and Ivan Tedesco was the top Honda rider in fifth.

There were two starts for the 15-lap Lites main event but only the second one counted.
