Early in the day at Budds, the track was a little moist. Later on, it would be perfect.

The series points leader, Ryan Dungey, chases after Andrew.

Check this start out in the second moto! Andrew would come around the first turn in first both times out.

40 of the best riders in America roar into the first turn but #29 is ahead of them all!

Andrew in action.

Jason Haines is Shorty's mechanic and had the bike running top-notch on this day.

This is the view that everyone else had of Andrew in the first moto as he went wire to wire for the win.

Second moto Shorty led for a few laps before getting caught by the pack and dropped back to sixth before regrouping and coming back to fifth. His 1-5 score was good for second overall.

The track/crowd/pits were all perfect on this day in Budds Creek Maryland.

Here's your 450 class podium at the end of the day. Ryan Dungey, Andrew Short and defending champion, Chad Reed.
