A
longstanding stop on the
Red Line Oil AMA National
Enduro Series, presented by
MSR and Beta Motorcycles, the
Seat Concepts Muddobbers
National welcomed competitors
with unseasonably warm tem

peratures on October 4.
The race was held on Satur-
day to allow competitors the
opportunity to spectate the FIM
Motocross of Nations the follow-
ing day in nearby Crawfordsville,
Indiana, and the key time was
pushed back to 10 a.m. to allow
riders more time for travel.
Racers started the day with
two 7.5-mile tests before tack

ling an 8.5-mile section and an
eight-mile section. Test five was
shorter at just 4.5 miles, and the
day ended with an 8.5-mile sec-

ideal, although some sections
had a bit of dust.
Finishing fourth on the day,
Steward Baylor Jr collected the
2025 Redline Oil AMA National
Enduro Championship with one
round yet to go. Despite dealing
with both injuries and illness
throughout the year, along with
stiff competition from teammate
Josh Toth, the Rocky Mountain
Red Bear Kawasaki Team Green
rider overcame the challenges
to secure his sixth AMA National
Enduro Championship. The
31-year-old previously won the
title in 2012, 2017, 2018, 2019
and 2021.
"It definitely was not easy, but
I was always in the right place at
the right time and able to answer
anything that Josh [Toth] threw
at me," said Steward. "Obviously,
I'm super bummed that it went
down like that with Josh getting
injured. I kind of played out the
rounds, and I knew this would be
a round where he would be good.
But after test one in Missouri, I
just knew I needed to ride con
