Dungey, also the 2010 season champion, has 24 victories in 36 career starts in the premier division. "It feels great,'' Dungey said. "I've said it a lot, but (the team) had a lot to figure out. I felt like we made improvements at the middle of the season and to keep winning since round three is awesome to finish off on a strong note like this. I've had a lot of fun his season. All the success we've had is because of the effort of everyone at KTM.''

Russo slowed down and began pumping his fists in the air, thinking he had just won even though no one was waving the checkered flag. Russo stood up on his bike and put his hands up in the air to celebrate while the other bikers passed him, and by the time he finally realized his mistake, it was much too late. Russo is not the first person to celebrate a race victory prematurely, although this embarrassing mistake was one of the more painful ones to watch. H/T Off the Bench.

He will run seven Nationwide races this season and 11 in the K&N Pro Series. His K&N season opens March 17 at Bristol Motor Speedway. "The wait has been grueling," Pastrana said. "This is one of the toughest things I've ever done. But we're ready to go now. We have seven Nationwide races planned but if we can secure some additional sponsorship we'll run more. If it were up to me we'd run every race after Richmond. I'm ready to get this thing going." Two days prior to his expected July 30 debut in 2011, Pastrana broke his right ankle and foot while attempting a motorcycle trick at the X-Games. Pastrana will race under the Pastrana199 Racing banner in 2012. The team will have a technical alliance with Michael Waltrip Racing supplying personnel and equipment. Boost Mobile will sponsor each of the seven Nationwide races while iRacing will serve as the primary sponsor in four K&N races. Pastrana's Nationwide schedule is: Richmond International Raceway, April 27; Darlington Raceway, May 11; Charlotte Motor Speedway, May 26; New Hampshire Motor Speedway, July 14; Chicagoland Speedway, July 22; Indianapolis Motor Speedway, July 28; and Atlanta Motor Speedway, Sept. 1.
