This past weekend Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy TiLUBE Kawasaki rolled into chilly Kansas City, Missouri for Round 4 of the 2010 AMA Arenacross Series. Destined to keep the winning streak alive in the magnificent Kemper Sports Complex, with a one night race format, Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy TiLUBE Kawasaki had Saturday night to shine!
When the gate dropped for heat one, Demuth roared off the line ripping the hole shot, leading the race wire to wire and taking the win! Chad Johnsonstarted strong in 4th place and battled into 3rd for a podium finish!
Heat two was a piece of cake for Tyler “Hitman” Bowers! Bowers grabbed 1st place and set the fastest lap time of the evening, giving Bowers the first gate pick for the main event!
Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy TiLUBE Kawasaki set the fastest three lap times of the night! Bowers 1st, Johnson 2nd and Demuth 3rd. All riders were coming in hot and ready to challenge for Saturday night’s championship! Under the lights of the main event, the gate dropped and Josh Demuth stormed off the line! The Sheriff was back in town! Demuth pulled the hole shot, distanced himself from the pack and never looked back! Demuth proudly claimed his first win of the season! Chad Johnson left the gate in the fourth place, coming in strong and not too far behind Bowers. Charging the pack, Johnson moved into 2nd place to join his teammate on the podium!
With a five-race winning streak behind him, Tyler bowers had his first run of bad luck this season! An unlucky crash resulted in a cut front brake hose that wrapped around his front wheel! Fortunately for Bowers the hose broke and he was able to go on and finish 8th in the main event!
“Another amazing weekend for Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy TiLUBE Kawasaki, we are so happy for Josh Demuth to get a taste of the win! Having the Sheriff back on top is exciting! Looking forward to seeing what he brings next weekend! All the riders put everything they have into this race and they all deserve the win! Every weekend is another weekend of success for Team Babbitt’s!!” expressed Eddie Babbitt, Team Owner.
