Jace Owen
ARENACROSS
IMAGE / LANG WORDS / LANG DESIGN / WILSON
>> Jack Links Tuf Racing Honda’s Jace Owen is the big sur- prise of 2017 Arenacross. Everyone knew he has the speed to win races and contend for a championship, but win every main event? Seems impossible in such an unpredictable se- ries. Jace has executed every start and handled each Main Event in the same way. Holeshot, Win. Even with a perfectly executed plan, Arenacross is so crazy that a tough block
or another rider could cross the track and cause a disaster for the leader. So far all is perfect for Owen. Remarkably,
he continued his winning ways on Friday night in Baltimore. Three holeshots (Heat race, Main Event 1, Main Event 2) and three wins. His six race win streak would come to an end on Saturday night, finishing 2nd overall to Monster Energy Babbitts Kawasaki’s Gavin Faith. Still keeping his results on the podium, Jace holds a 20 point lead over Gavin Faith and isn’t losing the red plate anytime soon.
