Demuth Tops Bowers on Night One in Reno


AX









  Catanzaro Races to Third Lites Win of the Season





RENO, Nev. (March 5, 2010) – ArenOcross 2010
kicked-off on Friday night in front of an excited crowd at Reno’s Livestock
& Events Center. The 2010 AMA Arenacross Series began its final month of
competition and it was another memorable night for the Babbitt’s Monster
Energy/Ti Lube Kawasaki team as Josh Demuth, of North Richland Hills, Texas,
captured his fourth win of the year, leading a Babbitt’s podium sweep. In the
AMA Arenacross Lites class, current Western Regional Championship points leader
A.J. Catanzaro, of Middlefield, Conn., earned his third win of 2010.







As Spinechillers/Storm Lake Honda’s Nathan
Skaggs, of Chillicothe, Ohio, grabbed the AMA Arenacross class Holeshot,
Demuth, with Bowers and fellow teammate Chad Johnson, of Rhinelander, Wis., in
tow, quickly made his move to the front of the field and led the rest of the
way in the 25-lap main event. The 1-2-3 finish for the Babbitt’s squad was its
fifth of the season with Bowers bringing home the runner-up spot and Johnson in
third. In the championship fight, Demuth gained three points over Bowers.



The AMA Arenacross Lites class main event was
all Catanzaro from the drop of the gate. The rookie rider took the Holeshot and
proceeded to lead every lap of the 18-lap main event. In addition to it being
his third victory, it was also his second straight win as the regional title
fight hits the midway point of its 10-race season. Reynard Mods Kawasaki’s Cory
Green, of Nowata, Okla., and No Fear/Spy Honda’s Parker Eckman, of Tustin,
Calif., finished second and third, respectively.





The gap between Bowers and Demuth currently
sits at 14 points in the premier AMA Arenacross class while Catanzaro extended
his advantage to six points over Green in the AMA Arenacross Lites Western
Regional battle.





The 2010 ArenOcross continues tomorrow night
from the Livestock&Events Center for night two. The gates drop at 7:30
p.m
.
