rant Baylor picked up where he
left off last year by winning the
opening round of the 2023 Mag-
na1 Motorsports AMA National Enduro
Series presented by Moose Racing in
Sumter, South Carolina. The defending
champ made his debut on the Babbitt's
Online/Monster Energy Kawasaki a
winning one, and it was also a special
day for Kawasaki, which hadn't won a
National Enduro since Ty Davis in the
mid-1990s. (Davis won the title in 1995.)
Baylor was eighth at Sumter last year
but came on strong at the end of the
season to win his second title in three
years. The quick start he got this week
-
end, despite crashes in the final two
tests, one of which tore the radiator off
his bike, could be a bad omen for the
rest of the competition.
