Breece Best At Guthrie Arenacross
T
he AMA Arenacross Series
returned to the Lazy E Arena
in Guthrie, Oklahoma, on Janu
-
ary 27 for the second time in two
weeks. Round seven of the 2024
season marks the halfway point
of the series, which saw a longer
track than usual, with lap times
nearing 40 seconds apiece.
Ryan Breece made ground in
the championship hunt by taking
a dominant 1-1 victory over title
rival and defending champ Kyle
Peters.
Breece bumped up his confi
-
dence by starting the day with
the fastest qualifying time and
made it even stronger by scoring
a heat-race win.
In main one, the Yamaha
rider, Breece, jumped out to the
early lead and held the top spot
for every lap of the 13-lap race.
Peters stayed close in second
but lost the tow midway through
the race.
Izaih Clark rounded out the
box in race one.
Race two flipped the start or
-
der and forced both Breece and
Peters to the back row. Breece
managed to get up front early
and crossed the first lap in third
place. It took just two more laps
for him to find the lead, which
spelled trouble for Peters, who
started back in sixth. Although
he fought his way through the
field, it was too little, too late for
Peters, as Breece's lead was over
three seconds by the time Peters
got into second place.
Jared Lesher clawed his way
through the field to grab third in
race two. A 1-1 victory for Breece
moves him to within 19 points of
championship leader Peters.
"I just started clicking off laps,"
Breece said. "I had a good line
there to the right [in the whoop]
and then was able to keep on
going and bring that thing home
to the finish. It feels really freak
-
ing good, this is what we've been
striving for."
Ronald Johnson topped the
AX ProAm division, with Jayden
Riley sweeping the A/B All-Stars
race.
