The 2017 season showcased a battle for the title that went down to the Main Event in Las Vegas where just eight points separated the top three riders in the Race To The Ricky Carmichael Cup, with reigning champion Gavin Faith leading rivals Chris Blose and Jace Owen. After the dust settled following a pair of 250AX Class Main Events, Faith not only stood atop the podium with the overall victory, but he also put the finishing touch on a second-straight AMSOIL Arenacross title and hoisted the Ricky Carmichael Cup for the second consecutive year in Las Vegas.
