SEATTLE (AP) — James Stewart raced to his second straight AMA Supercross victory and fifth of the season, easily beating Kevin Windham in cold conditions Saturday night in front of 52,683 fans at Qwest Field.

Stewart, the Yamaha star from Haines City, Fla., was making his third start since his felony arrest last month in Florida for impersonating a police officer.

Points leader Ryan Villopoto was fourth. He has a six-point lead over Chad Reed, third Saturday night, with two races left. Ryan Dungey, the fifth-place finisher, is third — seven points behind Villopoto.

Stewart is fourth, nine points behind the leader.

Earlier, Honda’s Cole Seely, from Corona, Calif., won the AMA Supercross Lites West race, leading wire-to-wire for his second victory of the season. Broc Tickle was third to take the points lead.
