- Congrats to South Carolina native and Rocket Exhaust's PJ Larsen for qualifying for his first career 450 main event. The 2008 Horizon Award winner would finish the night 16th.
- N-Fab/Ti-Lube Yamaha's Chris Blose made his first main since Anaheim 2 -- marking his second main of the year. The Arizona native would finish the night 19th.
- JAB Motorsports Matt Lemoine -- who's qualified for every main in his rookie 450 year -- achieved a 450 career-high 11th at Anaheim 3.
- It appeared that BTOSports.com KTM's Matt Goerke was heading toward another top-ten finish in the main when Ryan Villopoto ran into him late, dropping him down to 11th, and also putting a hole in his clutch cover.
- Notables that failed to qualify in 250SX: Tyla Rattray, Malcolm Stewart, Dillan Epstein, Killy Rusk, Chris Plouffe and Ricky Dietrich.

- Congrats to privateer Tyler Bereman and Derek Anderson on making their first career 250 main at A3. The duo would finish 19th (Bereman) and 20th (Anderson), respectively. Tune into Racer X Online later this week to hear more from Bereman and Anderson.
- International Flavor: Australian Kade Mosig and Brazilian Jean Carlos Ramos made consecutive mains for the first time in 2013. And with his 17th place finish Ramos moved inside the top twenty in points -- currently 20th.
- Monster Energy/Tedder Racing's Dakota Tedder and 51Fifty Energy Honda's Scott Champion returned to the main for the first time since A2. Champion would finish the night 15th, while Tedder would take home 18th.
Joey Savatgy will take the top rookie honors into San Diego.

- HRT Honda's Austin Politelli matched his career-high 8th at A3, just one week after setting it in Oakland. Politelli is now 13th in points, just ten back of rookie Jessy Nelson.
- Speaking of Nelson, he and J-Star/JDR KTM's Joey Savatgy continue to battle it out for top rookie honors. Savatgy (9th in points) currently leads Nelson (10th in points) by three.

Ryan Villopoto may have locked up his 450SX title a week early, but the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross Championship finale still had drama and excitement to spare. Page 124.

Anyone that qualifies for a main in this stacked field is a badass!

Congrats to PJ Larson....Sure feels good yes?

Still 16 guys that have qualified for every 450 Main. Wonder if that will change when the series moves east, or if they are all in it for the long haul.
I've noticed Ricky Dietrich out there trying to qualify for the mains. It would appear he's giving moto a go full-time this year. I'm surprised I haven't seen or heard more about it - being he's a former top off-road guy and all (and former fill-in rider for RV).
/\ hoping Dietrich does the nationals, but trying to qual on a 250f in sx seems a long shot. Hope he races outdoors on a 450 this year, but re aims his goals. seemed like he wanted podiums in 2011 based on his results in the somewhat depleted 2009. Top 10s are easily doable with his endurance and speed.
Any word on where Savatgy will be outdoors?

Pretty cool that Plouffe is already considered a notable. Kid hauls!

I absolutely agree. Both fields are going so fast if you finish top 5 or 6, your one of the fastest men on the planet. We're seeing some brilliant riding with mind blowing speeds but in the end it looks like it's going to come down as always to consistency. Outdoor is going to be even more fun.
Didn't Ricky Dietrich beat up his girlfriend a few years ago and thats why he dropped off the radar?
