FLORENCE, SC – February 18, 2018 – (Motor Sports Newswire) –  AMSOIL Arenacross made its first-ever appearance at the Florence Center in Florence, South Carolina where Gavin Faith had a perfect night, winning both Main Events and clenching the extra point in the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Head 2 Head Challenge.

The first 250AX Main Event saw Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Gavin Faith lead the entire 15 laps to take the first win with TiLube Rockford Fosgate Honda’s Chris Blose finishing second and GPF Babbitt’s Online Kawasaki’s Isaac Teasdale third.

The second 250AX Main Event started slightly similar with Faith getting a solid start and leading all 15 laps. Toward the end of the Main Event, Jacob Hayes made the pass stick on Chris Blose to finish second in the second Main Event, but Blose’s 2-3 finishes landed him second overall with Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jacob Hayes going 4-2 for third overall.

In the AX Lites East Class Main Event, Isaac Teasdale got off to a solid start and never looked back, picking up his first Main Event victory of the 2018 season.
