The final round of the Supercross Series that kicked off at Sam Boyd Stadium was jam packed of the world's finest riders including MDK KTM Factory rider Nick Wey.
Wey pulled off a tremendous start in his heat for the third week in a row coming out of the starting area in 2nd place. Unfortunately, he made a mistake in the whoops on the first lap allowing two riders to go past, dropping him to 4th. He held 4th for the rest of the moto to easily qualify for the main.
 
The Supercross main event was a replay of Wey's heat as he came flying out of the gate in 3rd position. Andrew Short managed to make a pass on Wey, but Wey stayed close and maintained 4th position for a while longer until Reed made a move. Wey stayed close not letting the gap between the top four riders get out of site. Soon he was battling for 5th with Honda's Davi Millsaps. The two battled back in forth for the last few laps with Wey out front and then Millsaps. On the last lap Wey tried to make a pass stick but bobbled over a jump allowing Millsaps to jump ahead as they crossed the finish line. In his best looking ride of the season Wey finished 6th. "Nick (Wey) looked very fast tonight and we were incredibly impressed on his last minute charge for 6th. We feel incredibly confident in his speed as we leave here and begin to prepare or the outdoors," commented MDK KTM Factory Team Manager Steve Lamson.
