OFF-ROAD AMA ENDUROCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 3 / OCTOBER 26, 2019 FORD IDAHO CENTER / NAMPA, IDAHO P76 fastest time on his SRT Offroad Yamaha, and Hart was third fast- est. Blazusiak and Beta USA- backed Max Gerston rounded out the top five. Moto 1 Blazusiak took the Fox Holeshot in the first moto of the night with Haaker close behind. Haaker stalked Blazusiak for the entire race and made a last-lap pass to take the win. Blazusiak felt that German rider Tim Apolle held him up in the closing stages of the race, allowing Haaker to close in, leaving Blazusiak very frustrated at the finish. Gerston rode a strong race to barely beat out Hart at the finish line. Utah's Nick Thompson had a great finish to take fifth in the opening moto on his KTM. Moto 2 For moto two, the gate picks are reversed from moto-one results so this meant that Haaker and Blazusiak would have the last and second-to-last gate picks on row two. Noah Kepple came out of turn one with the lead ahead of Ty Cullins on his TM. Haaker and Blazusiak were midpack but quickly moved through the field, and Haaker passed Kepple in the pro lane to take the lead on lap four. Blazusiak was not far behind and worked his way to second place but could not make a dent in Haaker's lead. Hart had another strong moto to finish third. Graffunder was fourth and Gerston was fifth. Moto 3 After winning the first two mo- tos, Haaker just needed a third- place finish in moto three to take the overall and championship. He made things easy on himself by taking the Fox holeshot and led a few laps before Blazu- siak moved into the lead. From there, Haaker just managed his Haaker battled Taddy Blazusiak (111) for the 2019 title. Blazusiak fought hard but came up a little short. (Right) Trystan Hart finished out the night on the podium.
