Cycle News Staff | February 2, 2026

The final two rounds of the Partzilla Arenacross Series saw a doubleheader weekend in Florence, South Carolina, January 29-30. Freezing temps outside the Florence Center didn’t stop the action from heating up inside as racers faced a unique track layout with multiple “jump-over” lanes.

Gage Linville at 2026 Partzilla Arenacross Final — **Gage Linville won both the Open Pro and 250 Pro titles at the Partzilla Arenacross series in South Carolina.**

Gage Linville won night one, with defending champ Luke Neese taking top honors on night two. At the end of the weekend, Linville walked out with both 250 Pro and Open Pro titles.

Friday night saw Linville sweep both of the main events. The Dirt Bike Depot KTM rider led every lap of the 250 Pro main and reminded everyone why he’s sporting the red plate. He went untouched in 250 Pro and beat Neese by just over two seconds.

Linville saw a much tougher win in the Open Pro main event as he battled Neese and his teammate Jace Kessler for the top spot. Kessler led early on, but Linville’s lines, mixed with classic Arenacross aggression, saw him move from third to first in two successive laps. Linville put in a series of hot laps to build a cushion over Neese, but the current number one closed in as lapped riders became an issue. Neese tucked the front wheel late in the race and dropped back to fourth while essentially handing the win to Linville.

Luke Neese at 2026 Partzilla Arenacross Final — **Defending champ Luke Neese ended the Partzilla Arenacross season with two wins on Saturday night.**

Neese fired back on Saturday night with two big wins. He led every lap over Linville in 250 Pro and held a slight advantage of less than a second at the line. Jace Kessler rounded out the podium in third, barely holding off Dane Morales.

Neece again repeated in Open Pro, going untouched for all 15 laps. The reigning number one showed the fans why he’s the defending champ and closed out the season with a dominant night. Linville started back in third but moved his way to second at the line and scored enough points to clinch the championship. Dane Morales ran third for most of the Open Pro main event, but a fall dropped him off the podium and allowed Kessler to round out the box.

Linville used the Partzilla series to prepare for the upcoming 250 East Supercross Championship, which kicks off in a few weeks. CN
