sewell began his journey to victory by winning the rmatv/mC head 2 head Challenge earlier in the eve- ning, beating out rockstar energy drink husqvarna factory racing presented by fmC and otsff rider Gared steinke in the final race and earning an additional championship bonus point.
sewell kept his Ktm out front to start the first arenacross Class main event, with team Babbitt’s/monster energy/amsoiL Kawa- saki’s Jacob hayes and steinke in tow. team Babbitt’s/monster energy/amsoiL Kawasaki’s Gavin faith and Chris Blose started in fourth and fifth.
sewell was able to open an early gap on hayes, while faith moved into podium position on Lap 1 by passing steinke. Blose looked to follow his teammate past steinke, but the Kawasaki rider went down and dropped outside the top 10. With his sights set on the front, faith closed in on hayes for second and made the pass on Lap 2. the teammates remained just a few bike lengths from one another over the ensuing laps, allowing sewell to extend his lead. on Lap 9 hayes returned the favor and reclaimed second from faith. sewell cruised to the win three seconds ahead of hayes, with faith in third. steinke finished fourth with GeiCo honda’s Chase sexton in fifth.
sewell’s fourth main event win of the season gave him the chance to choose the inversion heading into the second main event, ultimately selecting the case with the number zero, meaning there would be no inversion.
