NBL Coyote Nationals and UCI North American Event - Goodyear, AZ

The 2008 NBL season kicked off this past weekend in Goodyear, Arizona. What may now be the premier NBL Track, the Estrella Mountain Track, was a pure test of speed and skill. This track features some of the best berms and rhythm sections that the Pros have raced upon in many years. Things kicked off for the Elite men on Friday with round #8 of the UCI North American Series and then moved on to the first NBL Pro Series event, The NBL War of the Stars, on Saturday. Due to rain the race was canceled on Sunday and NBL rules call for Saturdays results to be doubled. Great news for the Double A Marketing Pros as they finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th! Here is how each rider finished up:

Kyle Bennett has had an incredible past season and it looks like he has no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The leader of the USA UCI points will be the only automatic pick to be named to Team USA and get to race at the Olympics. Kyle knows the easiest way to get to the Olympics is to be that rider. Since winning the Worlds, Kyle has been an unstoppable force in the UCI events and currently has a huge lead. On Friday, Kyle added an another important win at the UCI event and has stretched his UCI North American points lead event further. Kyle didn't stop there, as he also won the NBL Elite Main event on Saturday. Chalk up 3 wins for Kyle and a the start of what could be another NBL #1 title and a shot at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Randy Stumpfhauser looked to be the one rider who was going to dethrone Kyle in Goodyear, as his incredible first strait away power had the fans on their toes watching the race action come main event time. On Friday, Randy lead the main event until a small bobble in the rhythm section cost him dearly. Randy went from 1st to 4th in the blink of an eye. That is how tough Elite/AA Pro racing is. Randy came back to take 2nd on Saturday, giving him 2 2nd places in the NBL record books.

Cristian Becerine is one of the most consistent riders on the Pro circuit and Goodyear was another prime example. On Friday, Cristian was in the UCI Elite Men's main event but placed an uncharacteristic 7th overall. Cristian came back strong on Saturday and wound up 3rd in the main event. 3 great main event scores and another weekend of fun and keeping the fans pumped keeps Cristian as one of the top riders on the Free Agent World Team.

Danny Caluag, the 2007 ABA #1 AA and Pro Cruiser rider, joined the Double A Marketing squad just days before Goodyear and to celebrate, he wanted to go out and get another great result. On Saturday, Danny was in the Elite Men's main event and he finished 6th place. Danny was looking for more wins, like the 2 AA Pro wins he took at the ABA Season opener just 2 weeks ago. Danny's next chance will be at the ABA Guthrie, Oklahoma National at the end of this week.
