Unfortunately for Stewart, that car was full of off-duty troopers ... and he was arrested and charged with impersonating an officer.

Stewart was released on bail.

Supercross Anaheim 2...The Battle Continues

As the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, makes its second and final stop at Angel Stadium this Saturday night for the pink-themed “Breast Cancer Awareness” race, Team San Manuel Yamaha’s James Stewart, of Haines City, Fla., has his sights on an eighth-career Supercross class win in Anaheim.

Stewart capped off his second win of the season last weekend in Oakland, and in doing so, moved into the Supercross class points lead, passing Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto, of Poulsbo, Wash. The win didn’t come easy; after a crash in the first practice, Stewart missed part of the second practice and all of the third practice.

“I think the biggest thing for me was rebounding after a day like today,” Stewart said after the race in Oakland. “This is a great win for me and my team and hopefully I can do it again at Anaheim this weekend.”

Looking to bounce back from his fourth-place finish last weekend, Villopoto makes his return to Anaheim where he took the first victory of the season.

“I have always liked Anaheim,” said Villopoto. “The race was good to me last time around and I hope I can get back on the podium to gain some valuable championship points.”

Defending Monster Energy Supercross champion Ryan Dungey currently sits in third place, 14 points behind leader James Stewart.

Team Rockstar/Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey, of Belle Plaine, Minn., powered his Yoshimura-equipped Suzuki RM-Z450 to a third-place podium finish in Oakland. Dungey, who is the defending Supercross class champion, started the day with a solid practice and qualified third. A poor start made for a difficult heat race in which he eventually finished fifth. In the main, Dungey’s RM-Z powered him to a fourth-place start and the Rockstar/Makita Suzuki rider rode strong the entire 20-lap main, eventually working his way to second place. A tough break on the last lap resulted in a slip to a third-place podium finish.

"All in all, my RM-Z450 worked great in Oakland and the team did a great job,” said Dungey. “It will be great to go back to Anaheim. We know more what to expect there and hopefully we can get a good start and put the Rockstar/Makita Suzuki up front.”

Dungey’s teammate, Brett Metcalfe, rode his Suzuki to 11th-place in afternoon qualifying from Oakland. Like Dungey, Metcalfe had a tough time in his heat race and finished seventh. In the main, he rode strong, piloting his Suzuki RM-Z450 to a fifth-place finish, his best of the year.

Ryan Villopoto wins first ever Supercross at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles

Dodger Stadium hosted its first ever Supercross event in Los Angeles to almost a packed house as the whole place was a buzz over the fact that the field was wide open and anyone could have taken first place. James "Bubba" Stewart was a fan favorite, but really know one could call anyone a true front runner.

After a dramatic intro, and a few pyrotechnics the main event was all that is was chalked up to be.  Brett Metcalfe takes the Holeshot! Team-mate Ryan Dungey is second, and Chad Reed goes down just a few feet after the first corner.

James "Bubba" Stewart take Pheonix Supercross

Last night at Phoenix’s Chase Field, 2007, 2008 and 2009 AMA Supercross Champion James Stewart shot out of the gates in the main event of the evening. Stewart was followed by Geico Honda’s Kevin Windham, Villopoto, JGR Yamaha’s Justin Brayton and Canard. Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey and TwoTwo Motorsports’ Chad Reed ran seventh and eighth in the opening lap as Villopoto made a quick pass on Windham to move into second place. Positions went back and forth as Chad Reed went ahead of Dungey and Canard moved up to third ahead of Brayton and Windham. But on Lap 3 Hahn and Windham fell victim to Phoenix’s slippery track surface and difficult rhythm sections.

Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto took second in the main after losing the front end on Phoenix's slippery track. Villopoto suffered a costly fall. Meanwhile, Dungey made it around Reed shortly after but couldn’t keep a clean pace, and mistakes allowed Reed to make another pass on the defending SX champ. Ultimately Stewart maintained the advantage provided by Villopoto’s mistake and claimed his first win of the 2011 season. Although Villopoto maintains a two-point lead in the series, he now feels Stewart breathing down his neck.

“I really wanted to pull that holeshot,” said Stewart after his win. “This track was tough tonight but I haven’t won in over a year so I really wanted this one. I was even a little nervous out there but I want to thank everyone on my team for giving such an awesome bike. This feels great.”
