ARENACROSS AMSOIL ARENACROSS SERIES FINAL ROUND / MAY 2, 2015 SOUTH POINT ARENA / LAS VEGAS, NEVADA P112 got smoke on the one side," Regal said. "Obviously when I went down I looked up and his whole bike was smoking. It was a deal where I was like, 'He's got to fight all the way through.' You never know. You could run a bike 15 laps, it's only six minutes. So it would just depend on how much of it was coming out. Like I said, he put himself in that position and blew his own bike. It was a deal where he had to make a move at first, I think, because he knew I was faster, honestly." Regal eventually fought his way back up to ninth on his twisted Husqvarna, and that was more than enough for him to land his first-ever professional championship—the 2015 Amsoil Arenacross Championship. Regal still has his eyes on Supercross, though. "I want to be [back] on the big stage," Regal said. "This is a deal where I want to try and be the best and race the best. I feel like Supercross is another level and I honestly feel like I can be competitive in that series with the right opportunity. Obviously I'm looking at all avenues and what's best for my career. I feel like this year was a huge build- ing block for me. To walk away with the Championship, would be cool to run the number one next year, but I wouldn't hesitate a second to end up in Super- cross." CN ARENACROSS CLASS - OVERALL 1.
