ROUND 13 / OCTOBER 26, 2025 IRONMAN RACEWAY / CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA OFF-ROAD I PROGRESSIVE GRAND NATIONAL CROSS-COUNTRY SERIES P84 Jayson Crawford and Isaiah Brown. Husqvarna-mounted James Jenkins wrapped up the XC3 title at the previous round and didn't race the Ironman. The WXC Women's Pro divi - sion was a battle between Rock- star Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Korie Steede, Rocky Mountain Red Bear Kawasaki Team Green's Rachael Archer and FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers' Brandy Rich - ards. But the title came down to Steede and Archer, with the winner claiming the WXC Cham- pionship title. After two hours of rigorous battle among the three riders, Steede emerged as the win - ner, followed by Richards and three, I flipped the switch and started to get going—felt more like the old Johnny! I haven't had a lot of bike time this year through injury, and it has been a bit of a rollercoaster for me, but overall, I am happy." Rocky Mountain Red Bear Racing Team Green Kawasaki's Grant Baylor had his best ride in a few races with a fifth overall. Sixth overall went to Honda rider Brody Johnson, also second in the XC2 class. Ashburn held on for seventh, with AmPro Ya - maha's Kailub Russell and Liqui Moly Beta's Josh Strang finishing eighth and ninth, respectively. New Jersey's Ryder Sigety won the XC3 125 Pro-Am class, topping fellow Yamaha riders I was, but I wasn't at the front going to the woods, so I put my head down and made some quick moves, and I felt good and was able to take the lead at one point. After that, I had three good crashes back-to-back on the same lap and lost touch with Mike. I put myself in a hole, and from there it was tough to get going again, but I found my flow. I'm bummed to not get that win." Defending champ Girroir looked more like his old self and brought home a fourth overall finish on his FMF KTM Factory ride, but it wasn't easy. "It was a brutal round here in Ironman," Girroir said. "After the first two laps, I thought I was in for a long day, although from lap Liam Draper was third overall and second in the XC1 class.
