The season finale of the 2007 Amp’d Mobile AMA Supercross Series at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas this Saturday, May 5, will feature one race of celebration and another a highly anticipated showdown.

His Las Vegas race will be a coronation run for Stewart, who has dominated the season with 12 wins in the 15 rounds leading up to Saturday’s finale. Stewart’s 2007 season joins Jeremy McGrath’s 1996 and Ricky Carmichael’s 2001 season as one of the best performances in the history of the series.

Stage Set For Ama Supercross Title Showdown
04 May 2006
At the beginning of this year’s Amp’d Mobile AMA Supercross Series just about everybody figured that the championship would be decided by the “Big Three” of Ricky Carmichael, Chad Reed and James Stewart. It was a dream that the title would come down to the season finale, but with the relentlessly grueling schedule of the series it’s rare that a championship battle plays out to a final race showdown. This year it has done just that and on Saturday night, May 6, Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium will play host to one of the most exciting final races in the 30-plus year history of AMA Supercross, the world’s premier supercross series.
