FAITH STRIKES AT KENTUCKY ARENACROSS
T
he fifth round of the Amsoil
Arenacross Champion made
its stop at the Freedom Hall in
Louisville, Kentucky, Febru-
ary 4, where Gavin Faith came
away with his second win of the
season. Faith (Team Babbitt's/
Monster Energy/Amsoil Kawa-
saki, presented by AP Design)
won both main events.
In the Eastern Regional AX
Lites main event, Justin Cooper
(Yamaha Rock River bLU cRU)
claimed his third win of the sea-
son to extend his points lead in
the series.
Before the main events got
underway, Faith, the defend-
ing champ, raced to his fourth
RMATV/MC Head 2 Head Chal-
lenge win of the season, outlast-
ing championship leader Jace
Owen (TiLUBE/Jack Link's/TUF
Racing Honda).
Faith carried the momentum
of that win into the first main,
grabbing the holeshot over
Owen and Matt Goerke (Rock-
star Energy/OTSFF/Yamaha).
By the conclusion of the open-
ing lap Faith already held a lead
of over a second on the field,
which he would never relinquish.
Owen was able to keep Faith in
sight and solidified his hold on
second, while teammates Goer-
ke and Chris Blose engaged in
an exciting battle for third over
the early stages of the race.
Faith took the win 3.5 sec-
onds ahead of Owen, followed
by Goerke, Blose and Gared

getting back on
track with his
second win of
the season at
