On the podium Adam said : "My first thought was, 'What I life I get to live!' That whole race I knew he was behind me. We had a gap and I knew it was going to come down to the Joker Lane and - just the opportunity to race with Eli. He's accomplished so much and just to be out there on the track with him. I'm stoked to be out there. Honestly, I always looked up to Eli and so just to be out there racing with him is unreal. And to come out on top of my first race is, I just can't ask for anything better..." .Cianciarulo also showed some insight into a racer's development when asked if the win taking place in the stadium where his Supercross championship slipped away gave him a sense of redemption. "It's a little bit of redemption but to be honest with you I look at Vegas now - after winning the outdoor motocross championship - I look at Vegas as something that helped me get there. I really don't look back on that race and think, 'Oh, man.' I think it's really helped me grow. And what a better way, to get a Monster Cup win in 450. I always love coming here, even that night, it sucked, obviously, but I love Vegas and I'm just so grateful, can't say that enough."
