Bowers Rebounds with
Big Win in Tulsa, Leads Babbitts Podium Sweep
Tyler Bright Races to Lites Class Victory
TULSA, Okla. (February 6, 2010) After making
a stellar debut one year ago, the AMA Arenacross Series
sophomore outing at Tulsas state-of-the-art BOK
Center returned and kept the thousands of Oklahoma fans
on their feet as Babbitts Monster Energy/Ti Lube
Kawasakis Tyler Bowers, of Danville, Ky., bounced
back from a tough outing last week to win his sixth
race of the 2010 season. Foremost Insurance Yamahas
Tyler Bright, of Lexington, N.C., grabbed the victory
in the AMA Arenacross Lites class.
The Tuf Honda duo of Brock Sellards, of Sherrodsville,
Ohio, and reigning series champion Jeff Gibson, of Thornville,
Ohio, were the first riders through turn one in the
25-lap AMA Arenacross main event and looked strong through
the early portion of the race, but the Babbitts
Monster Energy/TiLube Kawasaki trio of Bowers and teammates
Josh Demuth, of North Richland Hills, Texas, and Chad
Johnson, of Rhinelander, Wis., kept the pressure applied
and eventually worked their way by. The top three riders
in the premier AMA Arenacross class championship went
on to sweep the podium Bowers, Demuth, Johnson.
It marks the second time in 2010 that the Babbitts
squad swept the overall podium.
After a strong outing one week ago, Bright maintained
the momentum on Saturday night. GPF/Babbitts Kawasakis
Daniel Aulsaybrook, of Ortonville, Mich., grabbed the
AMA Arenacross Lites class hole shot and went on to
lead during the early portion of the main event. However,
a fall opened the door for Bright, who made the pass
for the lead and never looked back. Oklahoma native
Cory Green, of Nowata, Okla., secured the runner-up
spot while GPF/Babbitts Kawasakis A.J. Catanzaro,
Middlefield, Conn., rounded out the podium in third.
After losing 12 points last week, Bowers gained five
over Johnson and extended his points lead to 20 points.
Green moves into a tie with Catanzaro in the AMA Arenacross
Lites Western Regional Championship.
The AMA Arenacross Series continues next weekend from
Youngstown, Ohio at the Coveli Center next Friday and
Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
