Round 3 of the 2008 ABA Pro Series, the ABA Super Nationals was held in conjunction with the 2008 USA Cycling National Championships at the Desoto BMX Track. The Desoto BMX facility is one of the nicest BMX arenas in the USA and it made for some great racing for both the ABA event and the USAC National Championships. This was the 2nd year for the USAC National Championships and this year it has become part of the Olympic Selection events for the Elite Men. The ABA race series is moving into full swing and this weekend would be another important stop for the riders who are looking to win the ABA #1 year end title. The Double A Marketing riders are all looking to do just that, and here is how they finished up at this weekends event:
Kyle Bennett has been the most consistent racer of 2008 and has his long term goal of the 2008 Olympics looking to become a reality in the next few months. Kyle has won all the important races in the USA for the Olympic selection so far this season and at the USAC National Championships, he kept that streak alive. Kyle won the Elite Men's class on Saturday night, adding another title to his impressive list, as well as more points towards becoming the automatic selection athlete for team USA. Kyle kept the wining streak going, as he won on Day 2 of the ABA Super Nationals.

Danny Caluag has already had an impressive start to the 2008 ABA season with 2 AA Pro wins in 4 ABA Pro Races. Danny looked to continue his successful ABA Pro season at day 1 of the ABA Super Nationals. Danny did just that, as he took home another huge AA Pro win at the end of the night. On Saturday, at the USAC National Championship, Danny once again was in the Pro main event. Danny rode a great lap and just missed out on the win, finishing 2nd overall in Elite Men. On Sunday, Danny was back atop the Podium again, this time in Pro Cruiser. Danny also once again was in the AA Pro Main event, where he placed 5th overall.

Randy Stumpfhauser has had a rough start of the 2008 season, with an injury he suffered at the opening round of the UCI Supercross race series in Spain. Randy is just getting back to form from that injury and made his way back to the Podium on Sunday at the Super Nationals. Randy finished up 3rd overall and looked impressive all weekend, letting his fans know he is back on track and looking for a 2008 Pro title.

Cristian Becerine was in Desoto to race his way into the main events at the Super Nationals and he did just that. On Friday, Cristian was in the main event but wound up 8th overall. On Sunday, he was once again in the main and this time finished up 6th for the day. The results may not sound utterly impressive, but just to be in the AA Pro main event these days takes all the skill and speed few riders have.
