BATTLE FOR THE CUP
The Biggest Little City in the World
With Faith and Blose continuing to control the race out front,
both Herrlein and Steinke moved past Tennant on Lap 2, with Herrlein third and Steinke fourth. Tennant would then battle with Owen for fifth. Herrlein
and Steinke then engaged in
a battle for third for several laps. Eventually, the Kawasaki rider gained the advantage on Lap 9 and took over the final podium spot. On the following lap Owen broke into the top five by passing Tennant. Blose kept Faith honest throughout the Main Event, but the defending AMSOIL Arenacross Champion was able to pull out to a lead
of just over a second in the
closing stages, crossing the
line 1.6 seconds ahead of
Blose. Steinke followed in third,
with Herrlein fourth and Owen
fifth. Faith kept the momentum
rolling into the second Main
Event, once again putting his
Kawasaki out front ahead of
Blose and Owen. Faith tried to
get away but Blose kept pace,
allowing both riders to eventually
opening a gap over Owen in
third. On Lap 6 Blose challenged
Faith for the lead, diving to the
inside in some corners, but the
champ withstood the challenge
>>
and proceeded to put distance between he and Blose over the remainder of the race.
