BALTIMORE, Md. (January 15,
2010) – The second round of the AMA Arenacross Series kicked off in fine
fashion on Friday night from Baltimore’s 1st Mariner Arena. An
enthusiastic crowd was on hand to witness Babbitt’s Monster Energy/Ti
Lube Kawasaki’s Tyler Bowers, of Danville, Ky., take his second straight
win. Foremost Insurance Yamaha’s Jim Neese, of
Julian, N.C., raced to a well-deserved AMA Arenacross Lites class victory. As the premier AMA
Arenacross class blasted out of the gates for its Friday night main event, Spinechillers/Storm Lake Honda’s Nathan Skaggs, of
Chillicothe, Ohio, Babbitt’s Monster Energy/Ti Lube Kawasaki’s Josh
Demuth, of North Richland Hills, Texas, Tuf
Honda’s Brock Sellards, of Sherodsville,
Ohio, and Jackson Performance KTM’s Kelly Smith, of Ludington, Mich., led
the field. Bowers was forced to overcome a bad start, but quickly mad his way to the front of the pack. Smith experienced
bike issues early in the main, and was forced to drop out while running third.
As Bowers made the move on Skaggs, who won his heat race earlier in the
evening, Demuth and Sellards were engaged in a stellar
battle for third. In the final corner, the duo came together with Demuth coming
out on the better end while Sellards dropped back to
ninth. Skaggs followed Bowers across the line while Demuth held on for third. Neese capitalized on
his veteran experience to take control of the AMA Arenacross Lites class and in
the end, held off his hard charging teammate Tyler Bright, of Lexington, N.C.,
and Factory Pech Racing Kawasaki’s Devon
Pilkington, of Virginia Beach, Va., in third. The Baltimore
Arenacross continues tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. ET. Tickets are
