BLOSE CONQUERS PENNSYLVANIA
ARENACROSS
T
he third stop of the AMSOIL
Arenacross Series in Al-
lentown, Pennsylvania, was
intended to be a double-header,
but the blizzard that ravaged
the east coast cut the week-
end short. Friday night's pro-
gram went off without a hitch,
but that's all the action racers
would see in the PPL Center,
as Saturday and Sunday night
events were canceled due to
the severe weather.
Babbitt's Monster Energy Ka-
wasaki's Chris Blose became the
first repeat winner of the season
following an exceptionally consis-
tent night, extending the Bab-
bitt's Kawasaki win streak to four
races. In the Eastern Regional
Lites, it was yet another Babbitt's
Kawasaki on top of the
podium—Jacob Wil-
liamson led every lap of the main
event making his career-first
Arenacross win a dominant one.
In the first Arenacross class
main event, Woodstock KTM's
Travis Sewell grabbed the hole-
shot and ran away with the lead.
Blose got out to a top-five start,
and began working his way
forward. The points leader found
his way into third place behind
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's Kyle
Regal, which turned into sec-
ond when Regal crashed in the
whoops. Sewell held the lead to
the finish, taking the win by nearly
five seconds ahead of Blose and
Babbitt's Kawasaki's Gavin Faith.
Blose grabbed the holeshot in
the second main event, and went
on to have a battle with his Ka-
wasaki teammate Jacob Hayes.
After a daring pass in the sand
section, Hayes secured the lead,
but Blose's second-place finish
was all he needed to capture the
overall win on the night. Sewell
collected second with his 1-5
score while TiLUBE Honda's Ben
Lamay rounded out the podium
with a 7-3.
Blose continues to lead the
championship with his teammates
Hayes and Faith now second and
third in points, respectively. CN
