VOL. 55 ISSUE 44 NOVEMBER 6, 2018 P83 happy about where we're going from here." Fifth place went to Cullins, who recovered from his tough first lap. The strong finish also earned Cullins the Junior Endu- roCross titleā€”a championship within a championship for riders 21 and under. The 19-year-old also finished the season in sixth place. "I've been working super hard all year," Cullins said. "My main goal was to get top fives and, about halfway through the season, I was in the lead for the Junior Championship and I focused on that as the goal for the year. It's just been a great year. I finished top-five in half the races, I shared the holeshot tonight with Colton Haaker and I am just looking forward to getting the details for next year dialed in and come back better than ever." Even by Costa Mesa I only had a couple 12-minute motos in me before the race. I just fell apart in the main and couldn't hold on. Losing the championship is a bummer, but it's nice to cap of the season with a big win here in Idaho like this. I was doing stuff on the track no one else was doing and it was fun to win the crowd over by jumping big stuff. Now, it's off to get my arm pump under control and SuperEnduro prep." The battle for third in the race and championship between Tremaine and Redmond was intense. Redmond came into the race with a single-point lead over Tremaine, so whichever rider finished in front of the other would take the spot. Tremaine quickly worked up from eighth position on lap one to lock into a battle with Redmond. They traded third a few times before Tremaine opened a gap in the closing laps. Redmond held on for fourth in the race and cham- pionship. "The season started off great with the Alta electric bike," said Tremaine. "They were putting in a lot of effort with me and the EnduroCross program and they, unfortunately, closed up shop. So, I'm really lucky Beta took a chance with me and I just tried to keep my head down and not let anything get to me, so there really isn't a reason I shouldn't have performed on any bike. Going into the off-season I'm working really hard. I'm really Austin Paden and Rocky Butler. HERE'S TO THE FANS! The 2018 EnduroCross series had a large increase in spectator attendance, which was noticed and appreciated by the riders. "From the very first race at Prescott Valley, the crowds were great, and it was great to hear cheers when you made a pass or cleared the joker lane," Colton Haaker said. STATS Although Colton Haaker managed to take the 2018 EnduroCross Cham- pionship, Webb still holds the upper hand in terms of championships and career wins. Webb has earned three championships (2014, 2015 and 2017) and has 21-career main event wins. Haaker now has two championships (2016 and 2018) and 15 career main event wins. Taddy Blazusiak holds the all-time records with five consecutive championships (2009-2013) and 31 main-event wins. Briefly... Haaker and crew celebrate a hard-fought championship.
