Windham has enjoyed success at the event in the past, placing as high as second in 2000 and 2005. In his five appearances at the U.S. Open, Windham has finished no lower than seventh.
“The U.S. Open is a fun weekend for the riders and fans,” said Windham. “The MGM Grand Garden Arena provides a great atmosphere for a race. It’s like you come to a party and a race breaks out. This fall is going to be exciting because I will race the US Open the first part of October and my wife, Dottie, and I are expecting our fourth child at the end of the month.”
Windham joins defending AMA Supercross class champion James Stewart, who recently announced he will compete at this year’s event, on the starting gate. Tickets for the 2009 Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open are available at Ticketmaster locations.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
