ST. LOUIS (March 31, 2024) – Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Levi Kitchen collected a dominating second Triple Crown win of the year at The Dome at America’s Center, sweeping all three main events and stretching his points lead into double digits. With three rounds remaining that include two east/west shootout races, Kitchen added a little breathing room for himself with a 15-point gap over second in the Western Regional 250SX class championship.


The day started well for Kitchen, who earned second overall in qualifying leading into the evening’s main events. Once the gate dropped for the first race, Kitchen was all business as he came around the first corner in fourth. In the first lane he was able to move into second and then take over the lead shortly after that. He led every lap from the green flag to the checkered flag.

The second race was similar, with Kitchen getting a good jump out of the gate, and while he didn’t get the holeshot, he was fast enough to put his Kawasaki KX250 into the lead to tally another 12 laps led and his second main event win of the night. Holding a good position over his competitors heading into the third main event, Kitchen didn’t have to win to score the overall, but the rider out of Washington launched out of the start to grab the holeshot and take a third win on the night. With his dominant night, Kitchen now has tallied 67 laps led this season.

“The triple crowns are all about the start and I was able to nail three great starts to put myself in good position,” said Kitchen. “The first race, I made the start work as I wasn’t right there but made it work. I had a few moments out there, but it all came together. It will be nice to take a double-digit points lead into the next race in Nashville that’s a shootout, knowing those are unpredictable. I do think we can keep the momentum going and come out ready to win.”
