He\u2019s just the fourth racer in Supercross history to earn three titles. While Villopoto was certainly a favorite coming into this year after back-to-back Supercross titles, he stumbled early in the season, and was playing catch-up to Davi Millsaps, who proved to be this season\u2019s biggest surprise. Millsaps held the series lead for the first 10 races, proving he\u2019s a force to be reckoned with. But once Villopoto caught fire at the midway point of the season, it seemed only a matter of time before the gap would be closed. And sure enough, he passed Millsaps at stop No. 10 in Daytona Beach, Florida, and never looked back. Millsaps and Ryan Dungey, a former Monster Energy Supercross champion, continued to nip at Villopoto\u2019s heels, but now that Villopoto has secured the championship, they\u2019ll be in a fierce battle for second place overall during this weekend\u2019s finale in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.grindtv.com\/embed\/?video=67432\" width=\"560\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stokednews.com\/\">www.stokednews.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryan Villopoto\u2019s incredible second half in this year\u2019s Monster Energy Supercross Series propelled him to his third-straight championship title.
