Demuth Tops Bowers on Night One in Reno; Catanzaro Races to Third Lites Win of the Season
RENO, Nev. (March 5, 2010) – ArenOcross 2010 kicked-off on Friday night in front of an excited crowd at Reno’s Livestock & Events Center. The 2010 AMA Arenacross Series began its final month of competition and it was another memorable night for the Babbitt’s Monster Energy/Ti Lube Kawasaki team as Josh Demuth, of North Richland Hills, Texas, captured his fourth win of the year, leading a Babbitt’s podium sweep. In the AMA Arenacross Lites class, current Western Regional Championship points leader A.J. Catanzaro, of Middlefield, Conn., earned his third win of 2010.
As Spinechillers/Storm Lake Honda’s Nathan Skaggs, of Chillicothe, Ohio, grabbed the AMA Arenacross class Holeshot, Demuth, with Bowers and fellow teammate Chad Johnson, of Rhinelander, Wis., in tow, quickly made his move to the front of the field and led the rest of the way in the 25-lap main event. The 1-2-3 finish for the Babbitt’s squad was its fifth of the season with Bowers bringing home the runner-up spot and Johnson in third. In the championship fight, Demuth gained three points over Bowers.
The AMA Arenacross Lites class main event was all Catanzaro from the drop of the gate. The rookie rider took the Holeshot and proceeded to lead every lap of the 18-lap main event. In addition to it being his third victory, it was also his second straight win as the regional title fight hits the midway point of its 10-race season. Reynard Mods Kawasaki’s Cory Green, of Nowata, Okla., and No Fear/Spy Honda’s Parker Eckman, of Tustin, Calif., finished second and third, respectively.
The gap between Bowers and Demuth currently sits at 14 points in the premier AMA Arenacross class while Catanzaro extended his advantage to six points over Green in the AMA Arenacross Lites Western Regional battle.
The 2010 ArenOcross continues tomorrow night from the Livestock & Events Center for night two. The gates drop at 7:30 p.m.
