SATURDAY

Top three finishers were a repeat in the 250cc and 450cc classes on Saturday night in front of a capacity crowd. Winning both the 250cc and 450cc would be Darcy Lange who rode with enough determination to overcome going down twice in the 450cc main to still win...true champions always find a way to the front. Working his way through poor starts would be 15 year old Tyler Bowers who now sits second in the BooKoo Arenacross Championship Series point standings. After taking a trip to the hospital Friday night after a hard get-off was Colt Humphrey who came back to take a pair of third place finishes.
