Two Arizonans Vie for Supercross Glory at Home Race

In one of the most thrilling, entertaining, and dangerous professional sports in America, two young Arizonans eye the opportunity at glory with AMA Supercross.

19-year-old Carson Millikan from Surprise and 20-year-old Kade Lewis from Kingman has climbed up the long and difficult road to become professional dirt bike riders. Hundreds of thousands of kids grow up riding dirt bikes, but only a select few can ever make it to the night show and the main event in the ultra competitive sport of Supercross.

This Saturday, the two AZ natives vie for the opportunity to be one of just 40 to compete in the main night show at a jam-packed State Farm Stadium. From there, they’ll battle against the best in the world to make the 22-man A-Main event, a feat that both riders look to accomplish for the first time in their careers.

Supercross drops the gate in Glendale at 5:00 p.m. Saturday with opening ceremonies starting at 4:30 p.m. If you can’t make it to the track, the race will be streamed live on Peacock.

Arizona native, Devon Henry, joined the Sports360AZ crew in 2018 after graduating from Arizona State's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication. Devon has avidly partaken in coverage of the Arizona high school sports scene since 2013 and has covered NASCAR and INDYCAR at Phoenix Raceway since 2017. Devon is also a play-by-play announcer, calling over a dozen different sports and hundreds of events.
