Davis Tops High Voltage Sprint Enduro
G
rant Davis delivered a com-
manding performance in a
wet, slippery round five of the
2026 U.S. Sprint Enduro Series,
taking a decisive overall victory
at the High Voltage Sprint En-
duro in Maidsville, West Virginia,
April 25-26, after going 1-1 over
the two days of competition.
With only two rounds left on the
calendar, the FMF KTM Fac-
tory-backed rider significantly
strengthened his championship
prospects, especially as his clos-
est rival and previous round win-
ner, Cody Barnes, was sidelined
by a hard crash in Kentucky last
weekend. The incident is expect-
ed to keep the Liqui Moly Beta
rider out for the remainder of the
season, further opening the door
for Davis as the title fight enters
its final stretch.

two, but the battle intensified in
test three when Rockstar En-

the cross test with the fastest
time, stopping the clock 1.2

1.6 seconds ahead of Cleveland,
the top Pro 2 rider. Meanwhile,
