STEWARD BAYLOR TOPS THE LEAD
BELT NATIONAL ENDURO
S
teward Baylor claimed his
second national win of the
season and took a five-point
chunk out of Russell Bob-
bitt's series points lead with an
impressive performance at the
Lead Belt National Enduro in
Park Hills, Missouri—round eight
of the Kenda AMA National En-
duro Series, September 18.
The SRT/KTM rider started
strong and finished strong en
route to four test wins (he was
second in the remaining two),
while accumulating a 37-second
cushion over Bobbitt at the fin-
ish.
"This is the first time I've won
the first test in a long time," said
Baylor. "I usually start kind of
slow at these things but I was on
my game today from the begin-
ning. I felt really good all day,
and I was consistent and that
seems to be what it takes to win
a national enduro. Bobbitt and
Strang kept me on my toes but
everything just fell into place."
Baylor came into the race
sitting 21 points behind Bobbitt
in the series standings, and his
victory at the Missouri Mudders-
hosted event moved him to
within 16 points of Bobbitt with
just one race remaining.
"I'm just going into the final
round looking for a win, and let
the chips fall where they may,"
said Baylor.
Bobbitt and Josh Strang split
the other two test wins, with
Strang winning test three and
