History will be made as local hero Jack Brunell (Stark Future Racing) bids to become Arenacross British Champion for the first time after a decade of trying.

The Windsor rider leads the standings by 12 points, but with double points on offer in the Traxxas Pro Class, Brunell will be looking over his shoulder in London as his teammate Justin Bogle (Stark Future Racing) and Adam Chatfield (Mark McCann 64 YouTube Channel) remain in mathematical contention to take the crown.

In the team standings, the Stark Future Racing team lead on 86 points, with Mark McCann 64 YouTube Channel in second with 71 and FUS Marsh Geartec Husqvarna just two points behind in third.

Matt Bates, Arenacross Promoter said: “It’s always amazing for Arenacross to end our championship at the iconic OVO Arena Wembley, London, and with an almost guaranteed championship win for Jack, everything is shaping up to be an incredible night for the entire Arenacross show.

“Not only this, but making history in Motocross is something that I’m also incredibly proud of; Stark winning their first official FIM sanctioned championship will mark a new era in the sport… and that happened at Arenacross.”

Championship leader Jack Brunell, Stark Future Racing said: “Wembley is so special to me because it’s my home race.

“I can’t wait to get out there and do what I need to do to bring my first championship home. It’s going to be an emotional night for me and my family.”

Championship Standings

With double points on offer for the final round, this makes a win in the Main Event worth 30 points, although an extra two Bonus Points will be available for the fastest lap in morning timed practice, another two for top Qualifier from the initial heat races, and two more for winning the Head-to-Head Final before the LCQ.

This makes a top score of 34 possible for the night (you can’t be top Qualifier and win the Head-to-Heads!), meaning that although Harri Kullas is not able to ride after injuring his shoulder at Birmingham, it does mean that Justin Bogle, Adam Chatfield, and Ashley Greedy are still in with a mathematical chance.  If Bogle were to collect maximum points, then Brunell would need 7th in the Main Event to still be Champion.  That becomes 9th if Bogle doesn’t get the 4 Bonus Points before the Main Event.

To be Champion, Chatfield needs to win the Main Event even if Brunell doesn’t score at all, as does Greedy, although he would need Bonus Points as well to topple Jack’s total. Both would need Bogle to finish lower than 7th as well!
