pulled out of the race after fight-

mechanical issue.
Bauman got what vengeance
he could in main-event three, pow-

to figure out where he needed to

Kody Kopp closed out his maiden
campaign with three wins, nine
podiums and even bigger ambitions
for 2027. He said, "Honestly, I was
never on the same bike the whole
time I was on track this weekend.
We were trying different things on
the bike every time. And in today's
main event, we threw another big
change at it. It was the best the bike
felt all weekend. I could go anywhere
I wanted on track, but we were a little
tight on gearing, so I was running out
of rpms. I couldn't go any farther on
the old hog. We just ran out of gear-
ing, or else I think I could have won
that thing. But regardless, I'm happy
and proud of the season."
