Three-Way Babbitt's Battle Highlights Night Two in Council Bluffs as Demuth Gains Ground in Championship
COUNCIL BLUFFS,
Iowa
(March 13, 2010) – Night two of the AMA Arenacross Series’ round from
Council Bluffs, Iowa’s Mid America Center produced one of the most
exciting battles of the season as Babbitt’s Monster Energy/TiLUBE
Kawasaki’s Josh Demuth, of North Richland Hills, Texas won his fifth
AMA Arenacross class race of the season. GPF/Babbitt’s Kawasaki’s
Daniel Aulsaybrook, of Ortonville, Mich., captured the AMA Arenacross
Lites Western Regional Championship win for his first career victory.
After
a dominating victory on Friday night, premier class points leader Tyler
Bowers, of Danville, Ky., had his hands full on Saturday evening as his
teammates Demuth and Chad Johnson, of Rhinelander, Wis., battle
bar-to-bar with the nine-time winner throughout the 25-lap main event.
The trio of riders, who have dominated the 2010 season, traded the lead
on several occasions and even had to deal with the pressure from
reigning series champion Jeff Gibson, of Thornville, Ohio, throughout
the race. Each of the Babbitt’s-mounted riders found himself at the
front of the field at some point but it was Demuth who prevailed in the
end, leading the way for another Babbitt’s podium sweep. Johnson
brought home second while Bowers was third.
