of the Amsoil Arenacross Race to
the Ricky Carmichael Cup at the
Golden 1 Center in Sacramento,
California, April 1. Chris Blose
(Rockstar Energy/OTSFF/Ya-
maha, in association with Cycle

a perfect night, winning the

Blose held off points leader
Gavin Faith (Team Babbitt's/Mon-
ster Energy/Amsoil Kawasaki,

Head 2 Head Challenge, as well
as in both main events. The two
riders battled for the lead in the
first main, with Blose taking the
win just inches ahead of Faith. In
the second race, Blose was able
to establish a small lead and took
the checkers two seconds ahead
of Faith.
Jace Owens (Team TiLUBE/
Jack's Links/TUF Racing Honda)
was third in both races, keeping
his championship hopes alive.
In the race for the champion-
ship, Faith still leads.
He has a seven-point
advantage over new
runner-up Blose.
Owen slips down a
notch but trails Blose
by just one point,
127-126.
Fourth in the
championship is
Daniel Herrlein who
trails Owen by 25 points. Herrlein
was sixth overall in Sacramento
with 8-5 results.

the championship.
