Behind him, Snodgrass fought through mechanical troubles that kept him in the hunt early but ultimately opened the door for the SLR Honda duo of Lynn and Carter Klein, making his Pro 450 debut, to power past and secure the remaining podium spots. At the end of 120 grueling minutes, it was DeMartile putting on a clinic, crossing the line over a minute clear of the field. DeMartile leads the Pro 450-class championship over Lynn, 144-138. Ryan Surratt, who did not start the race, is a distant third on 98. In the Pro 250 class, reigning champ Mason Semmens demon - strated once again why he's the rider to beat in 2025. The FMF RPM KTM star delivered an excel - lent performance, not only domi- nating his class but also charging all the way up to an impressive third overall in the combined moto scores. The race started with Kawasaki's Tristun Alvarez pulling a huge wheelie off the line to secure the holeshot, but Sem - mens quickly moved to the front and pulled away. Behind him, the battle of the day was between Jake Alvarez and Semmens' teammate, Noah Gordon. Gordon held the advantage early, but Jake Alvarez stayed persistent, closing the gap and making his move as the two went bar-to-bar over the final jump before the finish line, sliding into second and keeping the spot until the checkered flag. Tristun Alvarez finished fourth. Semmens has a 35-point lead in the class championship over a tied Jake Alvarez and Gordon. The Pro-Am class delivered its own fireworks as a stacked field thundered down the short start straight, with Kayden Lynn grab - bing the holeshot and immedi- ately building a gap in the opening laps. Kayden Lynn looked strong early, but the sweltering heat and thick humidity hanging in the cornfields pushed riders and machines to their limits—claim - ing Jaxzen Tully with a mechani- cal issue that ended his charge prematurely. Up front, David Fry was relentless. After settling into second, he found his rhythm in the second half of the race and started closing in on Kayden Lynn, eventually slicing past to take the lead. Once Fry had a clear track, he never looked back, powering to the Pro-Am victory. Kayden Lynn held tough for second, while Gavin Dugan capitalized on the chaos to earn a hard-fought third to round out the podium. Four-time race winner in 2025, Carter Klein, who did not suit up for the Pro-Am race, still has a comfortable points lead over Kayden Lynn, 122 to 86. Saturday's racing delivered just as much excitement as Sunday's premier classes, with rising talent and new faces making their mark. In the Women's Pro division, the heat was turned all the way up— both figuratively and literally—as riders battled through low 90s tem - peratures and heavy humidity. Nor- Cal's Kylie Alvarez wasted no time showing she belonged, putting her motocross skills on full display in her WORCS debut. Alvarez charged to the front and never looked back, earning an impressive first-career WORCS victory over current points leader Lauren Woods, making a bold statement that she's here to contend. Woods still enjoys a comfortable points lead. In the 125 Pro class, Tristun Alvarez stole the show. Already juggling double duty over the weekend, Alvarez dominated the small-bore class with speed and control, claiming the win as he continues his chase for a third career title in the division. His Saturday success carried mo - mentum into Sunday's Pro 250 race, showcasing how versatile and determined the young rider has become. Connor Moore OVERALL 450 PRO 1. Dare DeMartile (Bet) 2.
