Johnson Caps Off Stellar Season for Babbitt’s Kawasaki with Denver Finale Victory

DENVER, Colo.
(March 27, 2010) – Just
24 hours after Babbitt’s Monster Energy/TiLUBE Kawasaki’s Josh
Demuth, of North Richland Hills, Texas, claimed his third career AMA
Arenacross
Series championship, teammate Chad Johnson, of Rhinelander, Wis.,
captured the
2010 AMA Arenacross Series finale on Saturday night
from the Denver Coliseum to
secure the runner-up spot in the AMA Arenacross class championship. U
Motors
Honda’s Tanner Reidman, of Bismarck, N.D., won his second career AMA
Arenacross Lites victory to sweep the weekend’s races.

It was
more of the same familiar dominance
the series has become accustomed to with the Babbitt’s team as Johnson
capitalized on a great start to put himself in position to grab his
third win
of the season. Tuf Honda’s Heath Voss, of Mico, Texas, took the holeshot
for the second night in a row and led early. Johnson made his move just
before
the halfway point and never looked back. 2009 series champion Jeff
Gibson, of
Thornville, Ohio, grabbed the runner-up spot while 2010 AMA Arenacross
class
champion Demuth charged hard to round out the podium in third.

For
Reidman, he had no challengers this
weekend. Much like his performance on Friday night, Reidman grabbed the
holeshot and never looked back, leading all 18 laps of the main event to
cap
off the most successful weekend of his young career. Gnarbars Honda’s
Kyle Calderini, of Colorado Springs, Colo., and JO Suspension Kawasaki’s
Hunter Meyer, from Black Forest, Colo., completed the podium in second
and
third, respectively.

In the AMA
Arenacross class final standings,
Demuth finished 24 points ahead of Johnson while their fellow Babbit’s
teammate Tyler Bowers, of Danville, Ky., finished third for a Babbitt’s
1-2-3 sweep.

The AMA
Arenacross Series will continue in
May with the Amateur National Arenacross Championships from Las Vegas, May 8-9.
