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.

Tickets for all rounds of the 2010 season can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com and www.arenacross.com.

Title Sponsor – Lucas Oil to present big and exciting raffle this Saturday at round 3 of the Amateur Supercross at Lake Elsinore MX Park

Lake Elsinore, Ca. (January 26, 2010) – The 2010 Lucas Oil Amateur Supercross held at the Lucas Oil Motorsports Complex in Lake Elsinore, California is revamping their 5-race series for the remaining 3-rounds. The Lake Elsinore crew is looking to revitalize this hot new series to a grand level.  

Unlike any other series out there, the Lucas Oil Amateur Supercross Series is unique. Because it is an actual supercross track built to specs, minus the extreme gnarly section making this track rider friendly. Since the first opening day, track builder and promoter Brandon Hiner has maintained a great challenging supercross track that is safe for all levels of riders.      

Due to weather, the first change made was postponing the original third round date that was scheduled for Sunday Jan. 24th in favor for moving it to Saturday morning, Jan. 30th. From this point on the series will now be shifted to Saturday mornings, starting January 30th.  

Round #3 – Sat. Jan. 30th/Round #4 – Sat. Feb. 6th/Round #5 – Sat. Feb. 13th.

Lucas Oils will also be giving away 1 case of oil to each racer who signs up for the third round of the Lucas Oil Amateur Supercross Series.

Temecula Motorsports Holshot $$$ Gift Cards!

Presenting series sponsor Temecula Motorsports has stepped up to be the official sponsor of the $25.00 Holshot Gift Cards presented to each 2nd moto holshot winner.

Some sectional track changes will be made starting the third round and made throughout the remaining rounds for more exciting and challenging races.
