NBL BMX Elite Series Heads for a Showdown in South Park

With only TWO ELITE Series NATIONALS left before the NBL GRANDS, the NBL Star's & Stripes National in SOUTH PARK is shaping up to the a full-blown SHOWDOWN. For Free Agent's Kyle Bennett, a top four result either day will put him up with Formula's Donny Robinson and current points leader and teammate Cristian Becerine. Supercross's Krystal Hime and Samantha Cools will take fate into their own hands and with podium results, they could edge closer to Redline's Kim Hayashi and set up a three-way bid for the NBL Elite Women’s Championship title at the Grands. Profile/J&R's Mike Kapes has a good lead in Super-Ex but Felt's Jason Morris and Standard's Mike Gonzalez could get close if things go their way. Kuwahara's Jeff Upshaw, who is tucked in behind Kapes, is rumored to be moving up to Elite before South Park. Redline's Jason Carnes leads the Masters class by a good margin and GT's Joey Bradford and TLD's Amanda Geving have been dominating and lead their respective Junior classes.

The SOUTH PARK SHOWDOWN will hit the South Park BMX Track in PA, June 29-July 1 and the NBL will have live updates on the website throughout the weekend. To find out more about the fabled South Park Track, visit their website.
