VOLUME 57 ISSUE 9 MARCH 3, 2020 P35
The 450 Pro Main
brought some drama yet
again for Bitterman, despite
a strong start off the gate.
He went to pass a lapper
at one point and almost
took Sanayei down in the
process, ultimately fall-
ing victim and crashing,
himself. At this point it was
Sanayei's race to lose and
he held on to claim the win
over Peters, Bitterman and
Steinke. Sanayei's win in
the 450 Pro Sport class
was his first of the series. Peters
came in second, followed by
Bitterman in third and Steinke in
fourth.
On Saturday night, Kyle Bitter-
man was not to be denied. After
dominating in the heat races,
the 250 Pro Sport main was all
his. Peters mounted a charge to
secure the top podium spot but
could not contend with Bitter-
man. Peters ultimately finished
second, followed by another sol-
id showing from Darian Sanayei
in third place.
The 450 Pro Sport main was
once again all Bitterman, he
capped off a successful weekend
by sweeping the pro classes in
the final main event of the night.
Darian Sanayei finished his strong
showing on the weekend with
a second-place finish, and Kyle
Peters rounded out the podium
coming in third. Peters also se-
cured the AMA Arenacross National
Championship Title after his two
podium finishes of the evening.
His career-first national champi-
onship is the cherry on a fantastic
season. Peters has been dominant
throughout the entire AMA Kicker
Arenacross series, securing 13
wins throughout the season, and
finishing in second or third in the
remaining races.
Bitterman's dominant night on
Saturday moves him into second
place in the series ahead of Jace
Owen by 44 points. Steinke trails
Owen by six points in the champi-
onship, and could move into third
overall next weekend in Amarillo.
Rounds 10 and 11 from Salt Lake
