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 City will air on Fox Sports 2 on Sunday, March 22 at 11:30 AM EST and Sunday, March 29th at 9:00 AM EST, respectively. CN FRIDAY 450 Pro Sport 1.
