450SX Class: Anaheim Stats

This race marks the 66th time the gate will drop for a 450SX Class race in Anaheim.

Anaheim holds the record for most 450SX Class races. After the 2015 450SX Class season is completed Anaheim will have hosted 66 total 450SX Class races.

Anaheim has hosted a 450SX Class race in every season with the exception of: ’74, ’75 ’80, ’88, ’97, and ’98.

Ken Roczen has never finished off the podium in his five Anaheim 450SX Class starts.Roczen is going for his third Anaheim victory in just his second full 450SX Class season.

Kevin Windham gave Honda their last Anaheim 450SX Class victory in 2005. Honda has gone 26 straight 450SX Class races in Anaheim without a win.

Ryan Dungey gave KTM their first Anaheim 450SX Class victory at the third race in Anaheim in 2013.

Anaheim’s third race in 2013 was KTM’s first ever event sweep. Roczen won the 250SX Class and Dungey won the 450SX Class.

Can Chad Reed pass Jeremy McGrath to take sole possession of first on the Anaheim 450SX Class win list?

Suzuki has never swept Anaheim in a season where there were three Anaheim races. Roczen could become the first to do this.

Can Roczen rebound and sweep Anaheim, joining James Stewart and Reed as the only riders to win three races in Anaheim in the same season? The last two riders to sweep Anaheim were Reed in 2008 and Stewart in 2007.

Can Trey Canard earn another win? It would be the first time Honda has won back-to-back 450SX Class races since Windham won St. Louis and Seattle back-to-back in 2008.
