James Stewart (Yamaha Supercross) says: "I really wanted to pull that holeshot. This track was tough tonight but I haven’t won in over a year so I really wanted this one. I was even a little nervous out there but I want to thank everyone on my team for giving me such an awesome bike. This feels great." Jim Perry (Yamaha Supercross Team Manager) says: "I’m glad to see James Stewart back to his winning ways. It’s very rewarding for the team, which put in a lot of hard work last week. So is the fact that half of the field was riding YZ450Fs this weekend, with four Yamahas in the top 10 including Joe Gibbs Racing’s Justin Brayton in sixth, Moto Concepts’ Kyle Chisholm in ninth and Stewart’s teammate Kyle Regal in 10th."Meanwhile, farther north in Prairie City, Calif., Kyle Summers and Ricky Dietrich went 1-2 in the opening round of the 2011 AMA District 36 Cross County Championship on Sunday afternoon. Aboard his Valli Motorsports Yamaha YZ450F, after two hours Summers finished nearly a minute ahead of teammate Dietrich, who was in turn several minutes ahead of the next competitor. It was a particularly strong debut for Dietrich, a former WORCS champion, in his first race aboard a Yamaha YZ450F.
