Team Davis Supreme at Glen Helen 24-Hour
V
ery few races test both
man and machine as much
as a 24-Hour Endurance race
does, and every year, racers and
spectators flock to Glen Helen
Raceway for the ultimate endur-
ance challenge. A near-record
turnout of 76 teams lined up at
this year's 3Bros 24-Hour Endur-
ance race at Glen Helen Race-
way, with a very young team of
Dustyn Davis, Lane Lorenzo, JP
Alvarez and Brennen Watson
winning the coveted overall vic-
tory with 75 laps completed.
As the clock struck 10 a.m.
Saturday, the gate dropped on
the Open Pro/Expert bikes, and
racers embarked on the day-long
race, barreling into the famous
Talladega first turn. Hero Rac-
ing Honda's Ciaran Naran on the
number-three bike and Open Ex-
pert rider Andrew Schulz battled
through the first few turns, with
Schulz taking the early lead on his
KTM two-stroke. A few turns later,
Naran passed for the lead on his
Baja-spec CRF450X, with Davis
quick in tow on his number-58
Zip-Ty Racing GasGas MC250F.
As the first lap came to a close,
the front of the pack saw two
Open Pro teams take charge, with
Davis leading on his small-bore
250F, while Naran was 20 sec
-
onds behind. Schulz maintained
third overall on track, where the
team would sit for the first hour
of the race. The third Open Pro
team, Mikey Fermoile (on bike
number 27) on his San Diego
Powerhouse CRF450RL rounded
the first lap in fourth, with Bran-
don Gravley on the Reezen/3Bros
GasGas 300 in fifth.
Davis, son of Hall of Famer Ty
Davis, set the fastest lap of the
race on lap three with a 17:42,
mere seconds ahead of Naran's
fastest of 17:44. The top two
teams were the only ones to dip
into the 17-minute range of the
entire race on the 10-mile course.
