SEATTLE (March 24, 2024) – Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Levi Kitchen earned his second win of the season in front of his Washington state hometown fans, extending his Western Regional 250SX points lead inside Seattle’s Lumen Field. Even without rain falling during the evening, the track was treacherous, and Kitchen’s skills in the challenging conditions shined as he crossed the finish line 21 seconds ahead of the runner-up. He now has an eight-point lead in the championship with four tough rounds remaining.

The native out of southern Washington not only entered the Seattle round with the red plate that he solely secured at the last Western Regional 250SX round six weeks ago, but Kitchen also brought with him the confidence of riding in tough conditions. While it wasn’t raining during the race, it had been a wet week leading into the round that left the track capable of extreme ruts.

After qualifying second overall, it was clear from his dominant heat race win that Kitchen was feeling comfortable on a track that so many weren’t able to ride with the same kind of ease. When the gate dropped for the main event, Kitchen secured his second holeshot of the season and never looked back. He had opened the lead to over 10 seconds, and when the rider in second crashed, Kitchen had a comfortable 20+ second lead to ride safely home to the checkered flag. The win gained him valuable points, boosting his lead to eight points over second.

“It’s been a long time coming to have a night turn out like this, and it feels great,” said Kitchen. “That was a really tough track, and I just felt good, like myself. I did get frustrated a few times when I made some mistakes, but I just had to tell myself to stay with it. That kind of track needed patience and to not override, so I’m thankful I got the good start and was able to focus on hitting my lines and keeping the Kawasaki at the front. It’s nice to get a little bit of room in the points, but we have some tough racing ahead with the triple crown and shootouts, so we’ll keep our focus during the week and come back strong next weekend.”
