2011 AMA Supercross








Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto leads the point race in 2011 AMA Supercross as the series heads to Oakland this weekend for Round 4.

Villopoto won the opening round at Anaheim 1, took second at Phoenix, and then regained the first-place spot at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles last weekend. Going into Round 4 of 17, Villopoto is five points ahead of San Manuel Yamaha's James Stewart, who took the win at Phoenix.

This weekend's race will be the first time the SX field will compete at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, the second consecutive debut of a venue following last weekend's Dodger Stadium race.

Supercross races have been held in Oakland in the past, but at other venues. Following are some stats and facts about previous races in Oakland, and this Saturday's event at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
