2024 Arenacross Rounds 9-10 Reno Results

Press Release | February 13, 2024

Rounds nine and 10 of the AMA Arenacross Championship took to the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center in Reno, Nevada, February 9-10, for a doubleheader weekend. The series points are closer than ever, with just four rounds remaining. Kyle Peters is looking to claim his fifth Arenacross title, while challenger Ryan Breece wants to upset the current guard. Breece did just that as he swept both nights of racing and closed within single digits of the championship points lead.

Friday night proved to be a perfect night for Breece as he topped the charts in qualifying before winning his heat race. The longer track layout suited his style as he shot out to the early lead in race one and led every lap of the first main event. Even when the running order flipped for main two, Breece made quick work of the slower riders and found his way to the lead by lap two. Two wins earned him maximum points for the first night of racing.

Peters’ night didn’t go the way he wanted, with his main rival Breece taking both the wins. In race one, the defending champ just couldn’t get to the front as fast as Breece. With Austin Politelli sandwiched between them, Peters watched as Breece ran away with the early lead. Then, in main two, Peters struggled to get through the front row. After five laps, he managed to get into podium territory, but Breece had checked out with an insurmountable four-plus-seconds lead.

Politelli earned a pair of thirds after a successful heat-race win.

Night two saw the same set of results in the final races of the weekend. Breece got to the lead on lap two after overtaking Crockett Meyers and never looked back. Meanwhile, Peters started back in ninth and took nine whole laps to move into second. Breece again worked up a five-second lead and was untouchable in race one. Politelli battled Izaih Clark for third.

Main two saw both Breece and Peters start out on row two. Carnage on lap one allowed Kyle Bitterman to lead early while Breece sliced through the field on the opening laps.

By lap four, the Yamaha rider took control of the lead with Peters hot on his heels. The gap stayed less than one second between the two, but Breece managed to hold the top spot. A clean sweep of the weekend moves him just nine points back from Peters. CN
