Peters Sweeps Tulsa Arenacross
R
ounds four and five of the
Kicker AMA Arenacross
Championship reached its half-
way point at the Lazy E Arena
in Guthrie, Oklahoma, January
21-22, with defending champion
Kyle Peters winning everything
in sight. Peters, on the Phoenix
Racing Honda, won all four main
events over the two days.
Peters' first win came Friday
night in the 250cc Pro main.
He passed fast starter Jake
Bork after the first lap and never
looked back, eventually taking
the checkered flag nearly five
seconds ahead of fellow Honda
rider Heath Harrison.
Harrison started off the race in
seventh but slowly worked his way
forward, passing Kyle Bitterman for
second on the fourth lap. Harrison
would hold the position the rest
of the way, pretty much matching
Peters lap times to the finish.
Kawasaki rider Josh Cart-
wright, who started the race in
fifth, took third approximately four
seconds behind Harrison.
Honda rider Lance Kobusch
and KTM pilot Henry Miller
rounded out the top five.
Bitterman ended up sixth and
early leader Bork dropped out
after four laps.
Peters dominated the 450
Pro main with a wire-to-wire win,
taking the checkers seven-plus
seconds ahead of Harrison.
At times, Harrison had his
hands full with both Kobusch and
Cartwright but eventually took the
checkers three seconds ahead
of Cartwright and another two
seconds ahead of Kobusch.
Miller rounded out the top five
another four seconds behind
Kobusch.
Bitterman ended up a distant
sixth after going down on the first
lap.
