Supercross // Anaheim 2 // Highlights:

• Kitchen qualified second
• Kitchen won the opening main event
• Kitchen’s 1-2-3 main events scores earned his the overall victory
• Kitchen now sits tied for the Western Regional 250SX championship lead

The riders enjoyed the first dry race since the opening round at the same venue, but were challenged with a new race format of three main events. As the sole representation for the team with Vohland on the sidelines, Kitchen immediately rose to the challenge and found himself second overall during the afternoon qualifying practices. That speed translated to the first main event as he launched out and took over the lead, winning the opening race wire-to-wire.

The second main event saw Kitchen execute another strong start and found himself in third. He stayed with the front pack and was able to get by for second, where he finished. The third main event was more of the same, with Kitchen taking the coveted final holeshot and filing into second. He stayed on the leader but knew he didn’t need to make the pass to get the overall, so he kept up a good pace before finishing third in the final race to give him his second career supercross victory and move into a tie for the championship lead.

“The triple crown format is always a crazy night,” said Kitchen. “You really have to be consistent and then in that final race know where you need to be in order to finish the overall. I knew I was in a good spot and tried to ride smart, but I made a few mistakes towards the end. It worked out, and I’m really happy to be able to give this win to the team. They have worked really hard and we’ll keep at it to come back strong in two weeks in Glendale.”
