BALTIMORE, Md. (January 16,
2010) – Four races and two rounds into the 2010 AMA Arenacross Series and
Babbitt’s Monster Energy/Ti Lube Kawasaki’s Tyler Bowers, of
Danville, Ky., is making it clear that the path to the premier AMA Arenacross
class championship will go through him. Bowers raced to his third straight
victory Saturday night in Baltimore’s 1st Mariner Arena,
giving him a sweep of the weekend. Foremost Insurance Suzuki’s Tyler
Bright, of Lexington, N.C., captured the AMA Arenacross Lites victory, giving
his team a sweep of the class in Baltimore. While Bowers came
up just short of the AMA Arenacross class holeshot,
he quickly made his way to the front of the field and dominated the 25-lap
main. Since his return to the AMA Arenacross Series, Bowers has won four of the
five races he’s competed and currently holds a 16-point advantage over
his teammate Chad Johnson, of Rhinelander, Wis., the
only other rider to capture a win so far this season. Spinechillers/Storm
Lake Honda’s Nathan Skaggs, of Chillicothe, Ohio, captured his second
runner-up finish in a row while Johnson finished third. In the AMA
Arenacross Lites class, Bright came out of the gates in the main event and
almost immediately found himself out front. His teammate Jim Neese, of Julian, N.C., took the win on Friday night and
ended the weekend with another podium finish in third. GPF/Babbitt’s
Kawasaki’s A.J. Catanzaro, of Middlefield, Conn., finished second for his
best career finish in a young rookie season. The AMA Arenacross
Series continues next weekend from Hampton, Va. and the Hampton Coliseum,
January 22-24. Racing on Friday and Saturday night kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET. Tickets are
