National Arenacross Series
Rounds 21 & 22: U.S. Cellular Arena
125cc main as he pulled the holeshot
and led from start to finish.
"This weekend has started out
awesome," Demuth said. "r got the
holeshot right off the bat and was
going through the whoop section with
no problems. I was able to make a
few things happen in the race. First
off, I rode smart the whole race. I
kept checking the signals that my
mechanic Jake Yost was giving me
during the race. Everything went so
great tonight, and I was able to put
my Shogun Yamaha on the top spot
of the podium again."
Holding on to second after a few
riders went down was Jeff Willoh. He
stayed in the top four during the
whole race, and this was Willoh's second podium of the year. He has started to show why he has the numberfour plate.
"I got a good start in the 125cc
main and was able to keep my FunCenter Suzuki in the top four positions during the whole race," Willoh
said. "I was able to make a few good
passes and was able to hold on to
second place until the end. My
mechanic, Chuck, did a great job getting my RM 125 ready for the main,
and it paid off. I want to thank him."
Taking third overall was Ryan
Huffman after he really had to work
for a podium position.
"It was an awesome race," Huffman said. "I decided to take a second-row start behind Hofmaster but
wasn't able to get a good start, so I
had to work my way up to the front of
the pack and was able to get up to
third in the end. I felt like I was the
fastest in the whoops but wasn't able
to get a good start."

osh Demuth came into Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on a bit of a'losing streak - at least for him. He won
20 main events during the beginning
part of the season. but he then went
one for eight at the last two rounds.
He had something to prove when he
got to U.S. Cellular Arena, and he
proved it, walking away with three of
the four first-place trophies. In addition, he sits 173 points ahead of second-place rider Darcy Lange, who
has missed the last three nights of
racing.
Holding on to third overall in the
points is Buddy Antunez, as he is 182
points down from Demuth and sits
only nine behind Lange. It looks like
Demuth could clinch the title at the
next round in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
This will be Demuth's second championship in the National Arenacross
Series if he pulls it off.
