With classes stacked, racing was hot, hot, hot! The Ch4se Challenge Pro Am always brings in a crowd which means great racing! Who doesn’t love some good racing? Just makes it even better when it’s a Saturday night under the lights! Not only is the Kids racing so intense but the whole vibe with Chase home and all the riders putting in the little extra to prove themselves and it started off with the small bikes tonight!

The kids in the 50cc Beginner class have made such big improvements this racing season! If you looked back to their first race out here you would think they were completely different kids! As they take off the line, Callahan Preban (10) takes the lead! In a close group behind him was Kaiden Shelton (44), Charlie Wolfe (831), and Asa Adams (704). Within the second lap they were already switching positions as Adams got around Wolfe but still staying in their group. Third lap around and Preban takes a fall putting Shelton in the lead! As Preban was trying to get going again it took him a minute which put him down in sixth. As we watch these little guys go around, Austin Ames (520) brings himself into their battle and gets right behind Adams in front of Wolfe! But it doesn’t take long before Wolfe gets right back and switches spots with Ames. This group had everybody on their toes with it being checkered flag time… Shelton staying as smooth as he can to take his first ever win! Adams hung on to finish in second place, Wolfe taking third, and Preban made it to fourth with Ames behind him finishing in fifth! These little ones put on quite a great race and I can’t wait to see how they do at the next one! 

The 40+ B/C class was the biggest it has been all season with 26 in the class! Gate drops and they all head into the first corner, each hoping to get that holeshot. Only one will get there first, who will it be? Ben Wolfe (749) pulls the holeshot to take the lead! Wolfe was holding the lead while Michael Jones (123) was hanging on him in second. The two went over the two jumps and down the straight away right next to each other, raising the intensity! They go into the corner and Jones takes the lead to put Wolfe in second place with a group right on their heels. These guys are mixing things up as the race goes on as Jones is keeping in the lead, Jason Mott (75) in second now, and Tyler Knowleton (921) moved up in third, while Wolfe hanging out in fourth. Jones inches away while Knowleton is hanging right on Mott’s tail! Wolfe looks like he’s getting comfy and just trying to stay smooth to stay in that fourth place spot. Wolfe may have to take it up a notch as Adam Fusinetti (528) is creeping up on him. Luckily for Wolfe that checkered flag is out as Jones takes the win, Mott finishes is second, Knowleton takes third, and Wolfe holds off Fusinetti to take fourth!

The crowd rushes over to the fence as the 250 A class lines up, waiting for the intense racing to begin. Card goes up, gate drops, they head to that first corner and Jace Kessler (511) pulls the holeshot! While Kessler holds the lead, Patrick Murphy (235) is hanging on him in second, the two pull away while the entire rest of the class is closer than ever, hitting one another’s back tire while they go into every corner, passes being made back and forth. Things heat up as the race goes on, that’s when the battle between Ezra Hastings (333) and Talan Zollers (99) starts. Zollers trying to find any way he can to get around Hastings, one goes inside the other goes outside, this continues for a few laps till Zollers makes the pass and pulls away! Jordan Biese (11) quickly creeps up on Hastings. Next lap in and both Biese and Nick Wallace (48) get around Hastings while Ward makes his way right onto Hastings’ heels! You can tell when these guys are getting close to the end of the race as they get tired from the 10 laps. Mistakes can’t be made at this point. Kessler comes around one last time to get the checkered flag and take the win! Murphy held onto second place with Zollers finishing in third!

Sean Heronemus (55) takes the lead in the 25+ B/C class with Tyler Spizzirri (143) in second place staying nice and close for the first couple laps around. Corner before finish line jump about second lap in, Spizzirri takes inside hump while Heronemus took outside, Spizzirri gets right up next to him as they go over jump but it just wasn’t enough to make the pass. Heronemus keeps in the lead but Spizzirri isn’t giving up just yet! Fourth lap in, they go into section after straight away when they came in on some lappers. Spizzirri snuck in on the very inside of the lapper while Heronemus got caught behind which led Spizzirri to take the lead! Spizzirri kept his speed up and stayed smooth to take the win!

Logan Webb (53) and Aiden Biersteker (32) put on quite a battle in the Schoolboy class earlier in the night and they did it again in the 125cc class with Brody Brewer (586) in the mix this time! The race started off with Brewer and Webb bouncing off one another battling for the lead! The two go in the corner looking like they lock together for a second leaving the inside of the corner wide open for Biersteker to sneak in and bring himself right in between the two! Brewer in the lead, Biersteker in second now, and Webb in third and not too happy about it as he begins to ride more aggressively. Biersteker holds him off till right before they head down the straight away when Webb makes the pass on him to take back second place. It was time for the checkered flag as Brewer took the win, Webb takes second, and Biersteker with a third place! These guys put on quite a show for us on this night in not just one but two classes which doesn’t happen all the time!
