The team as successfully accomplished their first goal, now the Babbitt’s Monster Energy Kawasaki team must prepare for what could be their biggest challenge all year.
The final round coming up this weekend at the Mohegan Sun is also the U.S. Open of Arenacross which will carry a $100,000 purse, with $50,000 going to the winner, making this event the largest arenacross purse in the world.

We predict this will be our toughest challenge all year.”
