Team AMSOIL supercross superstar Mike LaRocco returned to the scene of his biggest victory this past weekend, the U.S. Open in Las Vegas. 
LaRocco won the prestigious event and its $100,000 payday in 2002. After retiring mid-way through the 2006 Supercross season, LaRocco has kept in shape and returned to the U.S. Open of Supercross on Friday and Saturday night for a special race of champions. The Rock pitted his AMSOIL Honda CR 250 against past motocross champions Jeff Emig and Damon Bradshaw.
It was vintage LaRocco on both nights. Sitting on top of his 2-stroke Honda, LaRocco battled with Emig in both exhibition races. The Rock stood on top of the podium both nights, to the delight of the capacity crowd inside the MGM Grand Arena.
A little of the old was topped off by a whole bunch of the new for
the SoBe/Samsung/AMSOIL team. Jake Weimer was joined by his new teammate, Australian Dan Reardon for a crack at the top prize. After finishing tenth on Friday night, Weimer stole Saturday's show. Taking advantage of some first turn carnage, which included front runners Chad Reed and Grant Langston, Weimer pulled the holeshot and took the 
win, easily the biggest of his career. Reardon, meanwhile ran strong in his U.S. debut, finishing seventh on Friday and fourth on Sunday.
Until then, we'll see you at the races,
