SX Qualifying Update, Bogle Out: Defending champ Ryan Dungey and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Zach Osborne topped qualifying at the New Jersey Supercross this afternoon. Dungey barely edged out his Red Bull KTM teammate Marvin Musquin for the top spot, and Osborne’s 450cc teammate Dean Wilson came in a very close third behind the two KTMs. Points leader Eli Tomac, of the Monster Energy Kawasaki team, qualified fourth, over a half-second behind title rival Dungey, while Monster Energy/Yamalube/Chaparral Yamaha’s Cooper Webb was fifth in qualifying only 5/100ths behind Tomac.
Behind them came Honda’s Cole Seely in his first race back since injuring his leg in Seattle, followed by Tomac’s teammate Josh Grant, Wilson’s teammate Jason Anderson, Ride365.com Suzuki’s Malcolm Stewart, and the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC KTM duo of Davi Millsaps and Blake Baggett.
