Kyle Peters looking to All-Time Arenacross record

The fifth-time AMA Arenacross champ has re-signed with Phoenix Honda to chase the record of sixth titles.

Last season Peters clinched his fifth AMA Arenacross title, becoming just the third rider in the history to claim five consecutive championships, joining Dennis Hawthorne (1986 – 1990) and Buddy Antunez (1998 – 2001).

Each of the Greensboro, North Carolina, native’s crowns has come in different ways. He dominated last year’s championship, clinching it with two rounds remaining, despite having to overcome a broken neck suffered the previous off-season. Conversely, this year was hard-fought since the December 1 opener in Boise, Idaho. Peters faced adversity including crashes, run-ins with other riders, an injured thumb, and severe anxiety from self-imposed pressure to win. In addition, title-rival Ryan Breece opted to compete aboard a 450cc machine, a decision (allowed by the rules) that turned out to be an advantage given that several of the tour stops were held at elevation. In the end, Peters still managed to take his fifth crown, with just a five-point margin.

The 2024-2025 AMA Arenacross season is set to start on November 15th – 16th with a double-header round in Reno, Colorado, and then move to Boise, Arizona, for another double-header round before the series resumes in 2025.
