Chad Reed wins his third in a row. Ivan Tedesco makes it another Yamaha sweep. But Branden Jesseman is the 2003 AMA 125 East Supercross Champion!

The two main players of the 2003 AMA Supercross Series didn't disappoint. RC & Skippy. Ricky & Chad. Carmichael v. Reed. Tonight, Chad Reed won his third race in a row, and his fifth race of the season. He trails Ricky Carmichael by 16 points with three races left in the series. Carmichael finished second, with Ernesto Fonseca taking third.

In a race with six lead changes in five laps between Yamaha’s Chad Reed and Honda’s Ricky Carmichael, Reed won his fourth 250cc THQ World Supercross GP/AMA Supercross Series race of the season at the Edward Jones Dome in front of 46, 472 fans. Team Suzuki’s Branden Jesseman, of Fombell, Pa., won his third 125cc Eastern Regional AMA Supercross Series race, extending his series points lead to 10 over Brown.

Larry ward grabbed the holeshot, after only just making the LCQ due to an engine swap. The Honda 450 hooking up fantastically on the very grippy Georgia soil. Unfortunately, he slowly slipped back through the race, dropping it on the second last lap to drop him back to 16th at the end.

Ezra Lusk dropped it in the whoops early, but continued to circulate attempting to get any points possible, ending up finishing 19th.

The 125cc East championship is action packed this year, with Brock Sellards taking the win at the Georgia Dome.

Mike Brown held off Brandon Jesseman for second after a great race, with Jesseman taking third.

Reports have now been confirmed that Jeremy McGrath has in fact signed a letter of intent with Factory KTM. One of the biggest surprises of the silly season, McGrath can now call the orange team his home. MC felt that a switch of teams might re-launch his career after falling victim to Ricky Carmichael the past two Supercross seasons. It is reported that McGrath has signed a four-year deal with the Austrian factory team, two years riding Supercross and the last two years doing R & D testing. Jeremy also had offers from Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Suzuki, with Yamaha and Suzuki truly stepping up to the plate. However, the main reason McGrath chose KTM was because his lap times on the 2003 prototype 250 were two seconds a lap faster than any other bike he rode.
