IN THE WIND P56 HAYES SWEEPS TACOMA ARENACROSS T eam Babbitt's Monster Ener- gy Kawasaki's Jacob Hayes topped the Tacoma, Washing- ton, stop of the 2015 AMSOIL Arenacross, featuring Ricky Car- michael's Road to Supercross, on April 18. It marked Hayes' first win of the playoff-inspired Race to the Championship, which he dominated by leading every lap of the two main events for a clean sweep in the Tacoma Dome. Matt Goerke took second on the night with a pair of runner- up finishes, giving the Babbitt's Kawasaki team a 1-2 sweep. Current Race to the Champion- ship points leader Kyle Regal piloted his TiLUBE TUF Racing Husqvarna to third overall with a 5-3 tally. His second main event podium tipped the scales in his favor against Travis Sewell, who carded a 6-4 finish (Sewell earned an additional champion- ship point for winning the Head 2 Head Challenge). Suzuki's Cory Green rounded out the top-five. The win gave Hayes a step up in the Race to the Cham- pionship, where he now sits in the runner-up position, but Regal still leads the way by eight points. In the Western Regional Aren- across Lites Class, Slaka Wear KTM's Steven Mages also swept the Pacific Northwest, earning his fourth main event win of the season.
