CHICAGO FANS WELCOME BOOKOO ARENACROSS
Darcy Lange proves why he is the current point leader in front of a sold out house.
This past weekend the new Sears Centre located near Chicago was host to round #6 of the K&N presents BooKoo Arenacross Championship Series brought to you by Honda. More than 16,000 fans that included the largest walk-up attendance to date at the Sears Centre witnessed close intense racing all three days.

Bowers took the win in the 250cc class followed by Lange, with Lange taking the win in the 450cc class followed by Bowers. Hofmaster on the Fiberwise Yamaha would take third in the 250cc class, with Josh Woods riding the Fun Center Suzuki taking a third in the 450cc class.

Top three finishers were a repeat in the 250cc and 450cc classes on Saturday night in front of a capacity crowd. Winning both the 250cc and 450cc would be Darcy Lange who rode with enough determination to overcome going down twice in the 450cc main to still win...true champions always find a way to the front. Working his way through poor starts would be 15 year old Tyler Bowers who now sits second in the BooKoo Arenacross Championship Series point standings. After taking a trip to the hospital Friday night after a hard get-off was Colt Humphrey who came back to take a pair of third place finishes.
