ARENACRO
IG EASY
The final night of action before AMSOIL Arenacross’ annual Race to the Championship commenced in “The Big Easy” on Saturday, in front of a captive audience inside Smoothie King Center. With momentum on the line heading into the battle for the Ricky Carmichael Cup, Woodstock KTM’s Daniel Herrlein picked an opportune time to capture the first 250AX Class overall win of his career. In the Eastern Regional AX Lites Class, Team Babbitt’s/GPF/Monster Energy Kawasaki/MMCR’s Jacob Williamson took a big win, preventing Yamaha/Rock River bLU cRU rider Justin Cooper from clinching the championship. Before the Main Event action in the 250AX Class got underway, the RMATV/MC Head 2 Head Challenge set the tone for the battle for victory, with Rockstar Energy/OTSFF/Yamaha, in association with Cycle Trader
and Rock River, rider Chris Blose taking the win over Team Babbitt’s/Monster Energy/AMSOIL Kawasaki, presented by AP Design, rider Gavin Faith. Blose earned an additional championship bonus point with his triumphant effort. When the opening Main Event got underway it was Faith who put his Kawasaki
out front early over Herrlein and TiLUBE/Jack Link’s/TUF Racing Honda’s Jace Owen, the championship leader. The clear track allowed Faith to sprint out to a healthy multiple-second lead after just one lap, with Owen passing Herrlein to move into second. From there the lead group stabilized, with Faith maintaining his margin of about three seconds.>>
