G
rant Baylor came into the final round
of the 2020 Kenda AMA National
Enduro Championship needing only
to finish 11th or better to wrap up the title.
The FactoryOne Sherco team rider opted for
better and claimed the number-one plate for
2020 with the overall win over his older broth-
er, Steward, who finished out the season in
second. Grant, however, had to fight for the
day's win, as Stew battled the Shercro rider
right down to the final test of the year. Unfor-
tunately for him, Steward came up just four
seconds short of beating his "little" brother.
Grant rode conservatively off the start of
the Caprock Canyon National Enduro in west
Texas but picked up his pace as the day went
on, winning two of the five tests on the day.
"Obviously I was a little bit nervous, but I
knew all I needed to do was just get through
the race today and come out of it healthy,"
Grant said. "As long as I came out healthy
and the bike finished, I basically had the
championship. So that was my goal. I didn't
doubt the bike. The bike has been solid all
year. Other than that, I just had to keep it on
two wheels, and I did all day. I just wanted to
stay smooth and I ended up getting the win
here today."
Grant Baylor wrapped up
the 2020 AMA National
Enduro Championship at
the final round. He edged
out his brother, Steward, by
just four seconds.
