FRESNO,
Calif. (February
27, 2010) – The 2010 AMA Arenacross Series’ West Coast debut was a
showcase evening for the AMA Arenacross and AMA Arenacross Lites class’
leading riders as the series made its second visit to Fresno’s Save
Mart Center. Babbitt’s Monster Energy/Ti Lube Kawasaki’s Tyler Bowers,
of Danville, Ky., returned to the top step of the podium in the premier
AMA Arenacross class, winning his seventh race of the season and
extending his points lead. In the AMA Arenacross Lites Western Regional
Championship, GPF/Babbitt’s Kawasaki’s A.J. Catanzaro, of Middlefield,
Conn., maintained the momentum garnered over the past couple weeks to
grab his second victory of the year.

Lake Honda’s Nathan Skaggs, of Chillicothe, Ohio, raced to the AMA
Arenacross class holeshot, but was quickly overcome by the Babbitt’s
Monster Energy/Ti Lube Kawasaki trio of Bowers and teammates Chad
Johnson, of Rhinelander, Wis., and Josh Demuth, of North Richland
Hills, Texas. The most dominant riders of the season went on to capture
the team’s
fourth podium sweep of 2010 in that same
order, relatively unchallenged by their competitors. After eight
rounds, the Babbitt’s squad has won 11 of the 12 races this season.
