pionship. It was a measured ride
under pressure, rewarding the
consistency that had carried him
through the season.
Cole Zeller made sure the day
belonged to him, too. The KTM
rider won the overall and showed
that he will be a contender next
year. Zeller and Hoeft came into
the finish line bar to bar for the
physical lead, a fitting snapshot
of the close competition across
the Pro classes. While Pretscherer
could celebrate the championship,
Zeller left Parker with the race
victory and a strong performance.
Pretscherer finished on top with
227 points, followed by Zeller with
218 and Colton Aeck with 174.
The season finale also gave
the series a chance to recognize
two more champions. Aeck won
the Open Pro Championship,
while Travis Damon claimed the
Vet Pro title.
Looking ahead to 2027, WORCS
kicks off in Taft, California, Janu-
ary 8-10, and the 10-round sched-
ule will include the return of the
Stateline race at Primm, along
with established venues such as
Washougal and Glen Helen.
