AMA AX Heads to Finale

  • AMA AX Heads to Finale
AURORA, Ill. – Just hours before the penultimate round of the 2010 AMA Arenacross Series, the complexion of the AMA Arenacross class championship changed dramatically when the series’ most successful rider this season, Tyler Bowers, suffered a year-ending injury. As a result, the championship battle will be decided between one of Bowers’ Babbitt’s Monster Energy/TiLIBE Kawasaki teammates – Josh Demuth or Chad Johnson.
 
The showdown began last weekend in Dayton, with Johnson making a statement by capturing his second win of the season and gaining three points on Demuth, who finished second. Now, the deficit between the two riders sits at 22 points and with two nights of racing in store for this weekend’s season finale from Denver and the Denver Coliseum, the title is still up for grabs.
 
Despite the unfortunate outcome for Bowers, the Babbitt’s team is still assured of sweeping the top three spots in the final standings, a true statement of how stellar the team has been this season. Regardless of who walks away with the number one plate on Saturday night, 2010 will go down as arguably the most impressive single-season performance by a team in AMA Arenacross Series history.
 
While the AMA Arenacross Lites Eastern Regional Championship wrapped up its 2010 season last weekend with GPF/Babbitt’s Kawasaki’s Daniel Aulsaybrook claiming the title, the Western Regional Championship will crown its winner this weekend as well. Currently, Aulsaybrook’s GPF/Babbitt’s Kawasaki teammate A.J. Catanzaro sits atop the standings with a comfortable 20-point lead heading into the final two races of the season.
 
Should Catanzaro secure the Western Regional title, it would make a clean sweep of all 2010 AMA Arenacross Series championships for Babbitt’s-backed teams, a feat that has never been achieved before.
 
This weekend’s race from Denver marks the series’ return to the Rocky Mountain state for the first time since the 2008 season. That season, AMA Arenacross Series veterans Kelly Smith and Brock Sellards raced to the premier class victories while Kyle Calderini boasted a clean sweep of the two nights of AMA Arenacross Lites class action.
 
Advance tickets are available for this weekend’s Denver Arenacross from the Denver Coliseum Box Office, Ticketmaster charge by phone and ticketmaster.com. Tickets cost $2 more the day of the race.
 
Tickets are available online at www.arenacross.com and www.ticketmaster.com. For more information on the AMA Arenacross Series log on to www.arenacross.com.
