BLOSE AGAIN IN IDAHO ARENACROSS
T
he first round of the Race to
the Ricky Carmichael Cup
was held inside the Ford Idaho
Center in Nampa, Idaho, March
25, and Chris Blose (TiLube
Rockford Fosgate Honda) came
away with his second Arenacross
victory in a row, but this one
came after the points schedule
was reset for the four-round race
to the championship.
The win put Blose ahead of
Jacob Hayes (Team Babbitt's
Monster Energy Kawasaki) in the
championship point standings.
However, the big news of
the night was defending champ
Gavin Faith crashing in the
rhythm section in the first moto,
causing the race to be restarted.
Faith did not return.
Hayes actually took the first-
moto win after passing Blose late
in the race and holding on for the
victory.
The two battled for the win
again in the second moto, this
time Blose got around Hayes for
the race win and overall victory.
Earlier in the evening, Blose won
the Rocky Mountain ATV-MC
Head 2 Head Challenge, earn-
ing another point towards the
championship.
Ryan Breece (Kawasaki) was
third overall with 4-3 finishes,
and Heath Harrison (Honda) was
fourth overall with a 3-4 score.
Robbie Wageman (Yamaha)
rounded out the top five with 7-6
moto scores.
Blose now leads Hayes by two
points (42-40) with three rounds
remaining. Harrison is third with
29 points.
Breece (GPF Babbitt's Online)
also competed in the AX Lites
West class and captured his sec-
ond win in as many races.
Second place went to Isaac
Teasdale (Kawasaki), followed
