OFF-ROAD KENDA AMA NATIONAL ENDURO SERIES ROUND 4 / AUGUST 2, 2020 WELLSTON, OHIO P66 The Kenda AMA National En- duro Series resumes on August 23 for the Grassman National Enduro in Chandlersville, Ohio, for round five of its series. CN OVERALL 1. Josh Toth (KTM) 2. Steward Baylor (Kaw) 3. Grant Baylor (She) 4. Ben Kelley (KTM) 5. Ryder Lafferty (Hus) 6. Thorn Devlin (Bet) 7. Cory Buttrick (Hus) 8. Ben Nelko (Hus) 9. Cody Barnes (Bet) 10. Craig Delong (Hus) so I lost a bunch of time on one of the tests. Then on the last one I was riding really well again, but I just kissed a tree with my face and had to get back going after that. So it was a little bit tough, but I really just wanted to get on the podium today. I didn't have a goal to win or anything. So I feel pretty good about it." Kole Henslee (KTM) won the AA class ahead of Michael Pillar (Yam), with Will Sieven- piper (KTM) in third. Luke Ross topped the Open A class ahead of fellow KTM riders Eric Doug- lass and Brad Mohr. away with first in the Women's Elite class. "I raced the Battle of the Goats extreme enduro yester- day, so I came into this not really sure how things were going to go," said Gutish. "I'm not on my usual race bike for this. I'm still on the bike I raced yesterday, a 200 set up for extreme. I was running about second all day, and then in test five it was abso- lutely magical. I've never ridden a dirt bike that well in my life. I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to ride a dirt bike that well ever again. I was 21st overall. I have no idea how that hap- pened. So, I'm really hoping that I can maybe someday do that again, but for the time being I'm just over the moon about it." Enduro Engineering/ Mepmx/ Fly KTM's Mackenzie Tricker finished second, 49 seconds behind Gutish. "I won the first test, but I was still pretty cautious," said Tricker. "Then honestly, they just turned it up and I wasn't ready, really. I tried really hard to sprint those last two tests and make up the time that I lost, and I just didn't have it today, but I didn't do any- thing silly." BABB's Racing's Becca Sheets rounded out the podium in the Women's Elite class. "I came out swinging and had the lead after the second test," said Sheets. "From there, I just had to ride good, but I got hung up in a bottleneck and there was really just nowhere for me to go, Rachel Gutish won the Women's class.
