Brock Sellards
gains point on Chad Johnson with win at Hampton
Jim Chester went
flag to flag for Arenacross Lites victory
AURORA, Ill., (Jan. 27, 2006) Brock Sellards held off a hard charging
Chad Johnson to win the AMA Arenacross main event. Sellards got off the gate
with the holeshot just in front of his team mate Jeff Northrop. Team Faiths
Kevin Johnson was third off the gate and soon pressured Northrop for the second
position. Northrop eventually parked Johnson in the Toyota hairpin turn at the
halfway mark. This mishap dropped Kevin Johnson back to fourth. Points leader
Chad Johnson pushed his way passed Northrop for the second position and challenged
Sellards for the top of the box. Kevin Johnson got on the gas and turned in
the fastest lap of the night on his way to pay back time for Northrop. Kevin
Johnson pushed Northop into the tuff blocks in the same place the two hit in
a prior lap.
Jim Chester was on fire leading from start to finish. The action behind Chester
was as good as it get in AMA Arenacross Lites. Roy Horton crashed in the first
turn on the start and got up last. He went on to pass nearly every rider to
finish second. Shawn Clark finished third.
