Peters Aces Arkansas Arenacross
D
espite already having
clinched the title with two
rounds remaining, Kyle Peters
showed he isn't planning on
backing off in this year's Aren-
across Series. He swept round
13 in Little Rock, Arkansas with
wins in both pro main events and
further solidified his dominance
this season.
Main one was smooth sailing
for Peters. A good start put him
out front on the tight and tech
-
nical course. Soft dirt created
tricky conditions as racers faced
deep ruts and unpredictable lines
during the main event. Peters got
away from fellow Honda riders
Kyle Bitterman and Izaih Clark
who finished second and third,
respectively.
Race two flipped the grid and
put Peters on the back row with
the other podium finishers. The
challenging conditions made
it tough for Peters to get to the
front while Bitterman led the
way. Peters found himself locked
in a battle with Jared Lesher for
second place. The two duked it
out with Peters ultimately getting
the advantage. With only a few
laps remaining, Peters overtook
Bitterman for the lead with a
smooth line through the rutted
whoop section. This pass sealed
the deal as Peters went on to
take the top spot over Bitterman
and Lesher.
"I was really deep in the pack
and the ruts made it difficult
to pass," Peters said. "Found a
good line in the whoops and was
able to make it happen with one
or two to go. Really stoked to
take both wins."
Round 14, the series finale,
takes place next weekend in
Lexington, Kentucky.
