G
rant Baylor is on fire. And at the last two rounds
of the 2019 Kenda AMA National Enduro Cham-
pionship, no one has been able to put him out.
After winning the Little Raccoon National En-
duro in Wellston, Ohio, August 25, the Tely Energy
Racing KTM rider now has back-to-back wins and
three wins in the last four rounds. But even more
impressive, he's won all six tests in the previous
two rounds. That's 12 test wins in a row! No doubt a
national enduro first.
Grant took control of this weekend's race by
winning the opening test of the day by six seconds
ahead of his brother and teammate Steward Baylor.
Grant would stretch his lead with each successive
test until he finished the race with a 1:30.312-minute
advantage over Steward for the win.

"I 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 today.
So, it was another awesome
weekend."
Steward has been solid and
fast, finishing second in three of
the last four rounds, with a win
two rounds ago in Georgia. He
still holds a 36-point lead in the
series standings with four rounds
remaining, but with his brother
running away with the rounds, his
primary focus has switched to
the championship.

aggressive, but at the same time
