Arenacross in Youngstown, Ohio

The 2010 AMA Arenacross Series hits Youngstown, Ohio, this weekend for three days of racing starting Friday night. If you're in the area, go check it out at the Covelli Center.

The Valley's newspaper, the Youngstown Vindicator, gave some love to New Philadelphia, Ohio, native and supercross rider Brock Sellards in anticipation of the Youngstown round. Though Sellards won't race due to an injury, the Vindy gave him some good coverage that you can read by clicking here. 

Sellards was in fifth on the circuit before crashing in Oklahoma at the last round.

“On the last lap, with one turn left, I caught a hay bale, and it ripped me off my bike," he told The Vindicator. "I knocked myself out and broke my hand and got a concussion.”

RacerX also gave credit to Ohio as some of the strongest birthing grounds for motocross athletes with this story posted on their home page Thursday about the 2010 Arenacross season coming to the birthplace of aviation.

Bad news for Brock, but good news for Ohio residents and motocross fans to get some good publicity. Now only if we could get the local tracks to be more accepting of quad riders...

If you want to hit the races in Youngstown this weekend, motos start at 7:30 Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday. Tickets are available at the Covelli Centre box office.
