Daniel Herlein took a surprise win at the Reno Arenacross.
In the Arenacross Lites West Class, GPF Babbitt’s Online competitor Ryan Breece extended his points lead by taking the main event victory.
The first 250AX moto saw tight action into the first turn, where Hayes got held up after the start, and Blose took off with the early lead. By Lap six, Hayes moved into second place behind Blose, with TZR Sportland 2 rider Travis Sewell and Woodstock KTM’s Daniel Herrlein also at the front of the pack and sandwiched between the action. Hayes waited until the final turn of the race to take the inside line on Blose, and the two connected and went down with both riders scrambling to get on their bikes and finish the race. Hayes made quick work and ended up taking the win with Sewell in second, Herrlein third and Blose fourth.
The second moto saw Blose get out to an early lead with Herrlein, Hayes and Sewell in tow. Hayes worked his way up to second behind Blose, and it seemed as if Blose would have an easy win ahead of Hayes until an eventful last lap when Hayes ran Blose high on the straight before heading into the whoops, and the two made contact. Herrlein and Sewell both made passes on the top running duo, with Herrlein pulling off his first win of the season and Sewell in second followed by Hayes and Blose. One point separates Blose and Hayes as the series concludes in Las Vegas to crown a new 250AX Champion on May 4.
In the fourth round of the AX Lites West Championship, Rockford Fosgate TiLube Honda’s Carson Brown took the early lead with Ryan Breece and Plumbing Plus rider Kevin Moranz in third. Halfway through the race, Breece saw the opportunity to make the pass on Brown and took the lead. Moranz also made the pass on Brown to secure second a couple of laps later.
The win did not come easy for Breece, as Moranz was quickly making up time and gave a solid effort up until the checkered flag, but the race win belonged to the current points leader, Breece, followed by Moranz in second and Brown third. CN
