OWEN, FAITH SPLIT BALTIMORE AX WINS
J
ace Owen saw his winning
streak come to an end during
the third stop of the Amsoil Ar-
enacross Series at Royal Farms
Arena in Baltimore, Maryland,
January 20-21, but he still came
away with a strong weekend in
the first double-header of the
season.
Owen (TiLUBE Jack Link's
TUF Racing Honda) continued
his winning ways Friday night by
topping both main events, just
like he has done the previous
two rounds. Owen led Gavin
Faith (Team Babbitt's Monster
Energy Amsoil Kawasaki) across
the finish line in first place in
the first main event, with Chris
Blose (Rockstar Energy OTSFF
Yamaha), Steven Mages (Cus-
tom Powersports Spinechillers
TiLUBE Racing Kawasaki) and
Matt Goerke (Rockstar Energy
OTSFF Yamaha) rounding out
the top five.
It was the second night of rac-
ing that things started to unravel
a bit for Owen. For the first time
in the young season, Owen was
shut out on the night, though he
still claimed second overall with
2-4 results.
Faith ended up being Owen's
weekend spoiler. Faith won
both nights, which included an
all-out battle with Owen in the
first main event. Faith nailed
the holeshot and was closely
chased by Owen the whole way.
Later in the race, however, Faith
began to open up a small lead
which he carried to the finish
line, officially snapping Owen's
winning streak of five main event
wins. Mages took third followed
by Travis Sewell (Kawasaki) and
Daniel Herriein (KTM).
