RacerX 5 Minutes With...Ben Townley April 20, 2007 “Can you call me back in about half an hour?” asked Ben
Townley, who having just strapped his helmet on, was
talking from beneath it. “I’m just ready to do some riding.”
Thirty minutes later, BT101 was on his cell phone, talking about
what has turned into a highly dramatic championship showdown
set to take place this Saturday night at Ford Field in Detroit,
Michigan. Townley, a mere three points down on East Region
points leader Ryan Morais, is closing in on the Boost Mobile
Yamaha of Troy rider that many have down as their sentimental
favorite. Having won the last round of the series at Texas (his
third win of the series), Townley, the 2004 MX2 World Champion,
has pulled back all but three of the 22 points he lost to Morais at
the first round in Atlanta when his motor let go in Atlanta.
Townley, who hails from Taupo, New Zealand, refused to throw
in the towel, and fought his way back into the title fight, point
by point. Can he do it? Can he lay claim to the 2007 AMA East
Region Supercross Championship, a championship that has been
one of the wildest, fiercely fought series in memory? Here’s
what BT101 has to say about the matter.
