test, there were some techni- cal ups and downs with some ledges, and Steward hit some of those flat-out and blind. "I sent some things at the end of that last one, and if I had seen them before, I probably wouldn't have hit them as hard. That's the cool thing about enduros, and I think in those, I got lucky." Steward won the day over Grant by just nine seconds. Laf - ferty was another 16 seconds back in third place. Rockstar Energy Factory Husqvarna rider Craig Delong was fourth overall. Red Bull Factory KTM rider Ben Kelley was fifth overall, and En - duro Engineering GasGas rider Josh Toth was sixth overall. AmPro Yamaha rider Ricky Russell was seventh overall and Rockstar Energy Factory Husqvarna rider Trevor Bollinger was eighth overall, all from the NE Pro1 class. Ninth overall was the top-plac - ing NE Pro2 rider, AmPro Ya- maha's Liam Draper. Draper has been battling GasGas rider Thorn Devlin throughout the season for the class championship. "It was a good day, I was a little worried how dusty it was going to be, but it was actually pretty good," said Draper. "I felt good all day and was a little bummed to see I lost the last test by one second to not have the clean sweep on the day." Draper won the first five tests in the NE Pro2 class before get - ting edged out on the final test by Devlin, who finished fourth in the class for the day. Returning to the NE Pro2 podi - um was Rocky Mountain ATV-MC Tely Energy KTM rider Nathaniel "Bubz" Tasha. Bubz said, "I felt like I was riding good at the be- ginning of the day, but my times were not that good. Then at the end of the day, I didn't feel as good, but the times were good. Maybe I need to turn it back five percent or so to go faster." Tasha was second in the NE Pro2 class and 11th overall behind factory Beta rider Evan Smith from the NE Pro1 class in 10th overall. Winning the Women's Elite class was Enduro Engineering GasGas rider Mackenzie Tricker. Tricker won three of the five tests to win by just over one minute. "I started off pretty good, I usually start off pretty slow, but today was good," Tricker said. "I won a few tests until test four, where I had a pretty good crash and busted my lip, and I thought I threw it away." Still, she still was able to edge out Over and Out GasGas rider Rachel Gutish and GasGas rider Brooke Cosner. The top AA rider was GasGas rider Jhak Walker. CN Overall 1. Steward Baylor Jr (KTM) 2.
