ROUND 4 / AUGUST 2, 2020
WELLSTON, OHIO
P64
Pro 2 division.
"It felt like I was riding good all
day, personally," said Delong. "I
just had some issues with some
bottlenecks out there, just other
people stuck in the trail. I tried
to go around them and tried to
do my best and sometimes it
worked, and sometimes it didn't.
It's just the luck of the game and
you can't do anything about it. I
tried as hard as I could. I made
one personal mistake. I fell in the
last test. That was the only crash I
had all day."
Rachel Gutish raced the day
before and won the Battle of the
Goats in North Carolina, and then
drove all night to compete at the
Little Raccoon Enduro, coming
right off the bat, so I just kind of
tried to keep it together and ride
a smooth race. I'm pretty excited
on a National Enduro win. This is
nothing I've ever done before, so
I'm pumped on it."
Beta USA's Cody Barnes was
ninth overall and second in the NE
Pro 2 class. "I rode pretty solid,
only a couple little mistakes here
and there," said Barnes. "My Beta
250RR was running awesome
and was handling great. Overall it
was a good day. Just need to limit
some mistakes and go a little bit
faster and hopefully come out with
the win the next one."
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Craig Delong rounded out the top
10 and finished third in the NE
Thorn Devlin finished sixth. The
Beta USA rider was fourth in test
five behind Toth, and the Baylor
brothers. In the overall standings
he was just 29 seconds behind
Kelley.
Cory Buttrick rode a privateer
Husqvarna to seventh overall, just a
bit under two minutes behind Dev-
lin. Although he's been concentrat-
ing on GNCC, Buttrick grew up in
nearby Logan, Ohio, so this race
was a natural for him to ride.
760 Husqvarna's Ben Nelko
was eighth overall and first in the
NE Pro2 class.
"The day went awesome,"
said Nelko. "I came out with the
first test win (in the Pro 2 class).
I think I was 30 seconds ahead
Ben Kelley took
fourth for the third
consecutive race.
