Grant Baylor won his second national enduro in a
row, at this weekend’s Little Racoon National Enduro in
Wellston, Ohio, round six of the Kenda AMA National
Enduro Series.
The Tely Energy Racing KTM rider has also won three
of the last four. And after winning all six tests for the
second event in a row, he is now sitting on a 12-test win
streak with seemingly nothing stopping him from ex-
tending the streak at the next round in Missouri in two
weeks.
After sweeping all six tests, Grant finished the event
with a 1:30.312-minute advantage over his brother and
teammate Steward Baylor.
“Couldn’t ask for a better day,” said Grant. “It was a
little slippery in places and you had to be on your toes
and be careful and just be ready for when the front end
goes to wash. But I didn’t hit the ground all day until the
last test. I went down one time in the last test and won
every test to-day. So, it was another awesome weekend.”
Despite finishing in the runner-up slot for the second
race in a row, Steward Baylor still holds onto a 36-point
lead in the series standings with four rounds remaining,
and for Stew-ard, that is the main focus.
“I could have been a little more aggressive, but at the
same time we’re looking at the championship,” said
Steward. “If I can keep in second place, and if Grant
wants to keep win-ning, I’ll let him keep winning. I’m
happy with it. I’m looking for that championship and I
know all I’ve got to do is ride smart and I’m in a really
good position as far as that goes.”
Husqvarna/ Max Motorsports/FXR Racing’s Evan Smith
rounded out the podium, despite taking a nasty fall just
be-fore the end of the final test.
