Kailub Russell Tops Rockcrusher Full
Gas Sprint Enduro
F
MF/KTM's Kailub Russell
claimed the overall win at
Rockcrusher Full Gas Sprint
Enduro, round three of the 2020
Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro
Series, held at the Rockcrusher
Farm in Young Harris, Georgia,
August 8-9. The overall win was
Russell's third of the season, al-
though he split the individual day
wins with Team Babbitt's Online/
Monster Energy/Kawasaki Team
Green's Josh Strang, who won
Sunday's event by 2.5 seconds.

took the overall win by just under
13 seconds.
The weekend started out wet
and slick, after spotty rain show-
ers on Friday left the course a
little greasy on Saturday morn-

Saturday afternoon.
Russell ripped off an incred-
ible time in the second test of
the day, the enduro test, which
was 11 seconds faster than team-
mates Strang and Jordan Ash-
burn, who was actually second-
fastest in the test.
Russell's "burner" put the
North Carolina rider in a position
no one else could touch all day,
leading to Saturday's individual
win by over 16 seconds, with
Strang second and Trail Jesters
Racing KTM's Johnny Girrior in
third (First Pro2 rider), another
half second behind Strang.
Russell carried that cushion
into Sunday, and although Strang
topped Russell in Sunday's
results by over two seconds,
Russell took the overall victory
by a comfortable margin.
"I was able to get the win on
day one," said Russell. "On day
two, I rode well for the most
