"I felt like I got definitely better each moto," said Abbott. "In that third moto, I think I got around Trystan on lap two or three, and then I led until a lap to ROUND 6 / NOVEMBER 18, 2023 RENO-SPARKS LIVESTOCK EVENTS CENTER / RENO, NV OFF-ROAD I IRC TIRE ENDUROCROSS SERIES PRESENTED BY PROGRESSIVE P64 Defending champ Walker came into the final with the points lead but luck wasn't on his side.
