Blazusiak takes the win and Championship at the Vegas EnduroCross finals


Geoff Aaron and Cody Webb round out the podium!


Las Vegas, NV (November 20, 2010) – A
capacity crowd filled the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas Nevada and watched
KTM’s Taddy Blazusiak win the race and defend his GEICO EnduroCross,
presented by E3 Sparkplugs Championship.  Christini/GEICO KTM’s Geoff
Aaron finished second in the race and also the Championship for the
second year in a row and Cody Webb, the 2010 AMA Trials champion earned
his first ever EnduroCross podium. 


Taddy
Blazusiak got the day started off by barely edging out Monster
Kawasaki’s Justin Soule to set the fastest time during the Pioneer hot
laps that puts the riders on the track by themselves for a single lap
against the clock. Geoff Aaron had the third fastest time.  Those three
riders earned the first picks for the heat races and all three also
earned quick trips to the main event by winning their respective
heats. 


Geoff
Aaron got aggressive on the start of the main event and pushed
Blazusiak a little wide to take the Girardi Wealth Management $750
Holeshot award but Taddy fought back quickly to take the lead.  Aaron
stayed close for most of the race to keep Taddy honest but ultimately
lost touch.  That allowed Taddy to edge away and take the win.  Cody
Webb appeared to have third locked up but Lucas Oil backed Colton
Haaker worked his way through the pack to take the position but then
had an ugly trip over the bars and ultimately finished fifth.  Mike
Brown and Justin Soule also fought for the final podium spot but both
had their own issues to ultimately finish fourth and sixth
respectively.  Kyle Redmond, Jamie Lanza, Cory Graffunder, Kevin
Rookstool and Destry Abbot finished seventh to eleventh. 


GEICO
EnduroCross also includes three support classes at each event and the
top finishers from the five previous rounds as well as the Vegas
daytime qualifiers earned the right to compete for AMA number one
plates.  Ty Davis rode his Husqvarna to the 35+ vet class win over Todd
Sciacqua and Kurt Nichol.  Luke Reynolds survived a last lap crash in
the rock pile to win the Open Amateur class over Mark Mcgregor and Ryan
Sandoval.  Multi time AMA Trials champion Patrick Smage won the
TrialsCross championship over Bryan Roper and Shad Petersen. 


Destry
Abbot and Matt Crouch were also honored with “Spirit of EnduroCross”
awards for their contributions and commitment to the sport.  Abbot is
always a crowd favorite and had a 100 person strong cheering section in
Vegas.  Crouch has displayed a serious commitment to EnduroCross by
traveling across the country from his home base in Texas to follow the
series and help his GEICO teammates get their bikes to all of the
races.
