ABA Fall Nationals Phoenix, AZ

The ABA Fall Nationals are traditionally a pressure cooker for a few Pros since it is the last chance to gain points towards the ABA Pro title. This year it was the same scenario once again. Kyle Bennett, who has been on a hot streak lately with wins at the last 5 ABA Nationals, needed to win at least one more time to make the gap between him and the current #1 ranked pro, Bubba Harris, even smaller. While 22 other Pros came to the ABA Fall Nationals to take home a win, Kyle and the rest of the Double A Marketing Pros looked to take home a win in Phoenix. Here is how they finished up for the last weekend before the ABA Grands:

Kyle Bennett has been winning races all season, but within the last 2 months, he has won at least one day of AA Pro at all the ABA Nationals. Coming into phoenix, Kyle sat 160 points out of first and that translates into 2 spots in the main event at the ABA Grands. A win would get him another 40 points and he would just need to beat the points leader by one spot at the ABA grands. On Saturday, Kyle looked quick, but Bubba Harris was not to be beat, and Kyle finished 4th for the day. On Sunday, it was all KB as he took home the win and more importantly, the points. It will be an all star showdown at the ABA Grands, as Kyle looks to take home his first ABA Pro title. Kyle's sponsors include Free Agent, KHS, Answer, Kenda, Sun Ringle, UGP, Truvativ, Velo, S & M bars, ATI, Shimano, Profile, Powerbar, Cyto Sport, and BMXpros.com.

Brandon Meadows was one of the top riders in Phoenix. Brandon raced AA Pro and Pro Cruiser both days and was the only rider to make it to all 4 main events. Unfortunately, on Saturday in the first round of the main event he was taken out and crashed; injuring his shoulder. Brandon tried to race the next 3 main events, but was unable to hold onto his handle bars. On Sunday morning Brandon awoke feeling race ready and he made it a great day, as he finished 4th in AA Pro and Pro Cruiser. Brandon's sponsors include Specialized, Fly Racing, Tangent, Thomson, Shimano, Cyto Sport/Cyto Max, Sun Ringle, Powerbar, and BMXpros.com.

Randy Stumpfhauser had a good weekend in Phoenix making 3 out of 4 main events. On Saturday, Stumpy rode to a 3rd place finish in Pro Cruiser. On Sunday it was a off day with 2 crashes holding him back to 6th place in AA Pro and 8th in Pro Cruiser. Randy looks to retain his ABA #1 Pro Cruiser title at the ABA Grands next month in Tulsa, OK.
