In the 450 main event, Davi Milsaps on his Yamaha motocross bike came away with the holeshot, while Villopoto closely followed.

James Stewart made his return after his minor injuries, he kept up the entire race after a bad start, but couldnt catch Ryan for the championship. The results were as follows:
