Larry Lawrence BOWERS, AMES SHARE ARENACROSS WINS N earing the halfway point of the AMSOIL Aren- across Series, the tour stopped in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, January 31-February 1, for the first time in 10 years. Team Monster Energy AMSOIL Bab- bitts Kawasaki Team riders Tyler Bowers and Zach Ames each raced to overall wins during the two nights of racing. Bowers took Friday's win with a 1-3 in the two fi- nals over his teammate Ames (2-5) and last year's series runner-up, privateer Jeff Gibson (9-4). TiLube Tuf Racing Honda's Jacob Hayes (4-10) and Okla- homa's Cory Green (3-11) rounded out the top five. "I won that first main Friday, but picked the 16 inversion case and had to start last again in that second main," Bowers said. "I'm not fond of that case deal, but I tried to make the best of it and came through the pack and got third, so I salvaged the win somehow." The points leader coming into Milwaukee, Ames, won Saturday night's overall with a 2-3 and now leaves the cold upper Midwest with the red plate once again as the tour heads out West for the next five events. "My goal is to come in here and to get as many wins as I can and to stay on the box," Ames said. "If you are winning and up front every weekend, the points will come." TiLube Tuf Racing Pabst Blue Ribbon's Kyle Re- gal finished second overall on Saturday with a 1-7 score, while Bowers, who went down in the first main event, went 10-1 for third overall.
