Newport Beach’s Ward gains gold

CARSON — Jeff Ward, a Newport Beach resident, showed Saturday that he still has what it takes to win, even at age 47.

Ward captured the gold medal in the Moto X SuperMoto event in XGames 14 at the Home Depot Center.

He finished ahead of Robbie Horton of Grovetown, Ga., and third-place finisher Brandon Currie of Anaheim.

Ward, who became the oldest gold medalist in the XGames two years ago, took home the silver medal last year.

He is a member of the Motorsports Hall of Fame.
