T
he AMA National Hare & Hound, presented
by FMF, returned from its summer break with
the Muley Run, hosted by Silver State Trail-
blazers MC in sunny Caliente, Nevada. The event
included a parade to the start area, kicking off
the iconic bomb run in a sandwash that seemed
designed with NHH racers in mind. The 85-mile
course featured two loops that took racers through
water crossings, many sandy washes, and around
dusty, flowing single-track sections to the finish.
It is a close fight in points for Pro class racers
Dante Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and
defending champion Zane Roberts (Liqui-Moly
Beta USA). Only 10 points separated them going in,
and with just three rounds remaining, all eyes were
on the pair. However, no one predicted that neither
of them would cross the finish line first. Instead,
it turned into a fierce battle between Oliveira and
Daemon Woolslayer (Norman Racing Husqvarna),
with Woolslayer ultimately claiming his first-ever
Pro class NHH win. Adding to this achievement,
Woolslayer was coming off a rib injury he sus
-
tained just before the summer break.
