Hayes took the points lead
from his teammate and now
sits 13 points ahead. Faith is
second, just one point ahead of
Blose.
Blose improved on his string
of thirds to finish second overall
on a Honda and is glad to move
well into the points mix.
"Three weekends in a row I
was in third place, so we're go-
ing in the right direction," said
Blose. "I'm happy with the prog-
ress, but at the same time I want
to be winning main events. That's
the ultimate goal and I'm striving
to achieve that."
Steinke earned his first podi-
um since last year on a Kawasa-
ki. He used an old technique for
negotiating the whoop sections
and it paid off.
"It had a little bigger whoops
so I went back to my old tech-
nique of jumping like a bunny
rabbit and it worked for me," said
Steinke. "It's been since last year
that I was on the podium. This is
the first one of the season and
many more to come."
Rockford Fosgate/TiLube/
Honda's Harrison dominated the
AX Lites class to win his third
race of the season and extend
his points lead. Teammate Jared
Lasher finished second, followed
by Kawasaki's Isaac Teasdale.
"I got the holeshot and I found
a great line through the whoops,"
said Harrison. "After the start, I
rode my own race, and I tried to
stay smooth."
The Amsoil Arenacross Series
now heads to the Florence Civic
Center in South Carolina, Febru-
ary 17-18.
