Josh Demuth Wins Friday Reno Toyota AMA Arenacross Series
Round
Dan Reardon takes the Toyota Arenacross Lites class at the Reno
Livestock Events Center
AURORA, Ill. (November 16, 2007) Josh Demuth took the Toyota
Certified Used Vehicle holeshot and led wire to wire for his second victory
of the season aboard his Rockstar Honda. None of the top three season points
leaders were able to finish in the top 8 as a broken bike (Robbie Reynard),
a crash (Kelly Smith) and failure to qualify for the main (Chad Johnson) left
the door wide open for the rest of the racers to make up points in the season
points chase. Both Danny Smith and Billy Laninovich took full advantage of the
season leaders misfortunes finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively. The Lites
winner Dan Reardon looked great in what he said will be his only weekend on
the tour this year as he prepares for the upcoming Supercross season.
