RACE TIME: TEAM BABBITT'S

Round seven of the Grand National Cross Country Series took place at the Sunday Creek Raceway for the long-running John Penton GNCC, where heavy storms early in the weekend would once again leave treacherous conditions for Team Babbitt’s/Monster Energy/Kawasaki riders, Josh Strang and Grant Baylor, to contend with over the course of the three-hour event.

Round four of the AMA National Enduro Series took place over the weekend in the Appalachian foothills of Virginia, where Babbitt’s/Monster Energy/Kawasaki rider Grant Baylor overcame adversity to take a fifth-place overall finish to retain his points lead in the NE Pro 1 class heading into round five of the series next month.

Babbitt’s Online/Monster Energy®/Kawasaki Team Green™ took on the sixth round of the GNCC series over the weekend at the famous Ironman MX facility in western Indiana. Overnight thunder and hail storms on Saturday left the 10.5-mile track soaked with plenty of mud bogs and water crossings for the No. 17 of Josh Strang and the No. 314 of Grant Baylor to contest with while defending XC-2 champion Lyndon Snodgrass would unfortunately not be able to contest the race due to a lingering sickness.

Round Three of the AMA National Enduro Series took place over the weekend in the foothills of northwest Arkansas, close to the Buffalo River, where Babbitt’s Online/Monster Energy/Kawasaki’s Grant Baylor took the win in commanding fashion after nearly 60 miles of rocky, technical, and dry terrain.
