Michael, Russell Split Harleywood Full
Gas Sprint Enduro Wins
L
ayne Michael (AmPro Yamaha)
and Kailub Russell (FMF/
KTM) traded overall wins at the
three-day Harleywood Full Gas
Sprint Enduro, rounds four and
five of the 2020 Kenda Full Gas
Sprint Enduro Series in Bristol,
Tennessee, September 5-7.
Round four had been sched-
uled for the previous weekend at
Harleywood, which would have
been back-to-back weekends at
the course. However, thanks to a
hurricane hovering off the coast,
the weather forecast leading up
to the first race called for two
inches of rain and 30 mph gusts,
so series promoter Jason Hooper
decided to run both rounds
over Labor Day Weekend. A call
that worked out perfectly since
Mother Nature cooperated over
the three-day holiday.
The race for the overall win
ended up being a dogfight
between Russell and Michael all
weekend, and Michael's vic-
tory at round four (Saturday and
Sunday) marked the first time this
year anyone has able to wrestle
the top step of the podium away
from Russell.
