Little 500

Black Key Bulls captures second consecutive Little 500 title

Black Key Bulls are Little 500 champions for the second-consecutive season. Following a lap 81 crash involving several contending teams, BKB and Sigma Alpha Epsilon capitalized on the opportunity and broke away from the pack. The two rivals collaborated on the track and coordinated exchanges in the pits to distance themselves from the field including a strong Cutters team. BKB made what ultimately became the winning move with 38 laps to go when Black Key Bulls rider Wiley Close and SAE’s Luke Naas headed towards their pits for another coordinated exchange. Suddenly, Close veered back onto the track and sprinted away from Naas. BKB never looked back en route to victory.
