[American Motorcyclist Association] - Flawless second main event secures second overa
The following is an industry press release...
Steven Mages captures Western Regional Arenacross Lites class win KANSAS CITY, Mo. (February 28, 2015) - The seventh round of the 2015 season of AMSOIL Arenacross, featuring Ricky Carmichael's Road to Supercross, featured the championship's return to Sprint Center on Saturday night. After highly competitive night of competition across a pair of Arenacross Class Main Events, Team Babbitt's Monster Energy/AMSOIL Kawasaki's Matt Goerke earned his second overall victory of the season via tiebreaker over Husqvarna TiLUBE TUF Racing's Gavin Faith. In the second round of the Western Regional Arenacross Lites Class Championship, Slaka Wear KTM's Steven Mages took his second Main Event win of the season with a wire-to-wire effort.Broadcast Alert: Nashville round of 2015 season premieres on FOX Sports 1 this Sunday at 10 a.m. PST / 1 p.m. EST Goerke now has two overall wins in 2015. The lead group paced one another for the bulk of the Main Event, until Goerke made his move onto the podium with a pass on Hayes on Lap 10 before the rhythm section. When the checkered flag flew, Regal and Goerke followed Faith in second and third, respectively, while Hayes and Team Babbitt's Kawasaki's Chris Blose rounded out the top five. Faith had the opportunity to select the inversion for the second Main Event, and with the help of the crowd he chose the case with the number zero, meaning no riders would be inverted. Goerke's (36) win in the second Main Event was his key to victory.

After taking control of third early in the race, Faith applied consistent pressure on Regal for several laps. On Lap 12, Faith took the inside line on his teammate just after the finish line and secured second. He tried to put a charge on Goerke, but in the end it wasn't enough. Goerke raced to the second Main Event win, with Faith second and Regal third. Earlier in the evening Goerke took the win in the RMATV/MC Head 2 Head Challenge, which awarded him an additional championship bonus point that ultimately put him into a tie with Faith for the overall win. With a tiebreaker needed to determine the winner, Goerke's second Main Event victory was the edge he needed to surpass Faith in the overall classification. Goerke (3-1), Faith (1-2) and Regal (2-3) completed the overall podium, with Kiniry fourth (6-4) and Mages fifth (9-5). Goerke's success, combined with Hayes' misfortune, brings him to within a single point of his teammate in the championship standings. Regal maintains control of third, nine points out of the lead. Faith narrowly missed out on his second overall win. Photo Credit: Josh Rud / ShiftOne Photography Mages' victory gives him an exclusive distinction. He is the only rider in AMSOIL Arenacross to earn a Main Event win in every class of competition - Arenacross Class, Eastern Regional Arenacross Lites Class and Western Regional Arenacross Lites Class. Blair, who entered the night with a six-point lead and finished sixth in the Main Event, holds a five-point advantage over Glenn with VanBuskirk third, 15 points behind.
