Povolny Jr. (Kawasaki) 3) Kevin
Markwardt (Honda) Lites Recap: The hole shot was grabbed by Illinois’s
Cameron Lansing. James Povolny started
around fourth (I believe) with the 16 year old favorite Tyler Bowers of Yamaha
of Troy around 10th. The track was simple and very safe which
lead to even more difficult passing than normal. Watching Lansing begin to stretch out the lead Minnesota native
made his move up to second place and began hunting down the Suzuki mounted
Lansing. In the meantime Bowers was regulated to
slowly getting through the pack. With
the 125 east coast series on the horizon Tyler was methodical and he eventually
took second. Tyler showed maturity to
ride a smart race to keep himself healthy for the east coast Supercross
series. Bowers made it up to second
place where he finished. Back to our battle up front. Povolny caught and passed Lansing and had a
comfortable lead through out the race even when he caught lappers. Nice accomplishment for a Vet rider! Cameron Lansing rounded out the podium with
a well-deserved 3rd place. Arenacross Recap: Tyler Bowers wasn’t happy with a second in
the Lites class and he showed the field that from the start of the Arenacross
race. Bowers holeshotted and prompted
developed a sizable lead and it looked like he was cruising. Tyler did end up on top of the box in the
Arenacross class. That savvy Vet rider James Povolny used his
skill and flat out speed to nail down a second but wasn’t a serious threat to
the youngster. After James cleared
traffic he rode to a second place finish with out any pressure. The battle of the night was for third place
in this class: Scott Metz, Kevin
Markwardt, 908 and Lansing. Markwardt
was faster and showed it by winning this battle. After Kevin was locking up his third place Metz threw it away
leaving Lansing the other survivor of the battle. Like Lansing in the Lites class Kevin had a very nice ride and
was quite happy on the podium. Night two of Arenacross racing is Saturday
at the Sears Center in Chicago, IL. |
