As the 2008 AMA Toyota Motocross Championship Presented by FMF season came to a close, Monster Energy Kawasaki's James Stewart made history by earning a record-tying 12th victory of the season at the inaugural American Motocross Festivalඣ.

Stewart thus w🐟on all 24 motos this year to become only the second rider in the history of the sport, after former rival Ricky Carmichael, to accomplish a perfect season.

"ಞFor me, it was [a relief for the season to be over]," explained Stewart, who led 369 of the 382 laps completed this season. "After the last few [years] I've had in outdoors, I've had a really tough time finishing the season. It was just a lot of weight lifted off my shoulders, especially after coming off the surgery."

Team-mate Tim Ferry finished second overall with a pair of runner-up moto finishes while Factory Yamaha's Broc Hepler earned his first career AMA Motocross Class podium with third overall at his home track.
In AMA Motocross Lites, Rockstar/Makita๊ Suzuki's Ryan Dungey cruised to back-to-back moto victories en r📖oute to his third overall win of the season.

"To get both moto wins was awesome," said Dungey, who has won three of the last four events. "I🍷 almost led every lap too. I haven't really had that [chance] to be out front and it was just a great experience to do that."

Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Nico Izzi posted a career besไt second overall after finishing fifth and second in the day's motos. GEICO Powersports Honda's Jake Weimer rounded out the overal𝄹l podium with sixth and third place moto results.

Champion Ryan Villopoto clashed with Izzi in moto one, forciꦫng him to withdraw due to a damaged machine, then finished just 16th in moto two.
