podium Mason Kerr and Zachary
Butkiewicz.
Bitterman led the charge in the first
450 Pro Sport heat. He ended up tak-
ing first place with Skyler Adams com-
ing in second and Butkiewicz third.
Heat two provided a little preview of
the main action with Peters and Owen
battling for the top spot. Owen edged
out Peters for first place and Steinke
took third.
The 250 Pro Sport main was
another intense battle between the
Phoenix Racing Team and Team Bab-
bitt's riders. Owen took the top step of
the podium for the first time over the
weekend. Peters and Gared Steinke
joined Owen on the podium. Bitter-
man, who was battling Steinke for
third, was docked a lap after cutting a
corner on the start, but the matter is
still under review with the AMA.
A new face to the podium and
the series came to light in the 450
Pro Sport main on Saturday night
when privateer Mason Kerr took third
place. Kerr came out strong and
edged out Sanayei (fourth) and Bit-
terman (fifth) for the final spot on the
podium.
Owen and Peters put on another
exciting battle for the top spot in the
class, with Owen crossing the finish
line first, followed by Peters in second.
After the first two rounds of racing,
Owen leads the series over Peters by
one point.
"I made a mistake night one," Owen
said. "I came in too hot. But I feel
good about how I'm closing out the
first two rounds. This season, it's not
going to be easy, I know that. There're
some fast guys and we're going to
have to work for it."
"I don't know what it was tonight
[Saturday]—just not my night," Peters
said. "I was feeling under the weather
this morning but we're going to get
back at it next week. I know Jace will
be tough, but we'll get there." CN
