KYLE PETERS CLINCHES FOURTH-CONSECUTIVE AMA ARENACROSS TITLE

Kyle Peters.

Phoenix Racing Honda rider Kyle Peters has earned the AMA Arenacross Championship for the fourth time, clinching the crown with a 2-1 main-event tally aboard his CRF250R this weekend at the Salem Civic Center in Salem, Virginia. This crown was the sweetest yet for Peters, in part because it was clinched in front of his hometown crowd (Peters hails from Greensboro, North Carolina, about two hours south of Salem) and had about 50 family and friends on hand.) Perhaps more importantly, it came following a long recovery from a burst fracture of his C5 and C6 vertebrae, incurred in a crash shortly after earning last year’s Arenacross crown.

This actually marks the fifth-consecutive AMA Arenacross crown for David Eller-owned Phoenix Racing Honda, as the North Carolina-based team won it with Jace Owen in 2019. Phoenix stays busy campaigning a number of championships aboard Honda machinery, including the AMA Supercross 250SX East Region series, AMA Grand National Cross Country (GNCC), AMA National Enduro (NEPG), U.S. Sprint Enduro and Amateur National Motocross.

“Everyone at Honda sends a huge congratulations to Kyle,” said Brandon Wilson, Sports Manager at American Honda. “Even one AMA Arenacross Championship is impressive, but four in a row is amazing—and this one is even more incredible given his injury and recovery. Congrats are also in order for David Eller and Phoenix Racing Honda, who have once again demonstrated why they’re such an important racing partner for American Honda. We look forward to continued success.”
