PrintTo say that the 2012 Monster Energy Supercross season turned out to be a disappointment for a lot of riders would be an understatement. Mechanical problems, weird race incidents and of course, injuries, prevented many racers from improving on their 2011 seasons. On the flipside, several racers were able to do just the opposite, taking their results to new heights. For this week’s Bench Racing Ammo we put together a list of riders, along with some of their stats from 2011 and 2012. Who improved the most? Who had the roughest season? Check out the stats and get bench racing in the comments section at the bottom.
(Note: Lites class stats don't include the East and West main events from Las Vegas, as they are considered heat races for the East/West Shootout, and the AMA doesn't publish holeshot, laps led and average finish stats from heat races.)

Wow great stats...so much talent in both classes....cant wait to bench race about the 2013 supercross season when Barcia and Wilson join Canard, Reed, Stewart, Dungey and Villopoto, the Year of the Super Seven!!!!! That will have to wait, as its time to watch the Great Outdoors!!!
Injures changed up the avg finish more than anything...same guys win and finish on top of the box ...would could been better without those injures....next year....
Nice Aaron !
