him to drop back to eighth.
That left Goerke out front with
Faith and Regal in tow by the
end of the opening lap. The top-
three held their positions until
the finish, landing the top-three
in a tight bout for the overall.
On account of Goerke's win in
the second main event, he was
crowned the overall winner at
the Mid-America Center. Faith
claimed second with his pair
of second-place finishes while
Regal collected third.
Hayes, who led the Aren-
across Class Championship
coming into Iowa, finished a
disappointing ninth overall with
his 8-11 score. The sub-par finish
dropped him from the points
lead, and although the title is still
well within his reach, he lost a
14-point lead in the champion-
ship. Regal now moves into the
lead—but with very little breath-
ing room. The top-three are only
separated by a single point in
the championship, as Hayes and
Goerke are tied for second, only
one point behind Regal.
ARENACROSS LITES
The Western Regional Ar-
enacross Lites competition
returned to the stage as the
series came to the Mid-America
Center. Daniel Blair took his third
main event win of the season,
and extended his lead in the
West championship with another
dominant victory.
Blair grabbed the holeshot
aboard his Motosport.com/Hae-
seker Racing KTM and never
looked back. As Blair opened
up his lead, he left Scott Zont
and Josh Cartwright to battle for
second. Cartwright eventually
secured the point, and KTM-
mounted Dave Ginolfi also got
around Zont to capture the final
podium position. In the end,
there was no stopping Blair as
he blazed to a flag-to-flag victory.
Blair put another handful of
points over Cody VanBuskirk
(who finished sixth in Iowa).
Brandon Glenn—who finished
fifth on the night—now sits third
in the Western Regional Lites
Championship.
