Round 4 - AMA EnduroCross Series
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. – FMF/Maxxis/RPM KTM Racing’s Cooper Abbott secured a runner-up finish in front of his hometown crowd on Saturday, extending his podium streak to four-in-a-row in the 2021 AMA EnduroCross Series. FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Trystan Hart had a strong start to the night but he sustained a hand injury at the beginning of the second Main Event and was unable to continue racing.
 
Coming off a three-race sweep at the previous round, Hart had a confident entrance into the weekend as he earned pole position with a fast time in hot laps. He powered his KTM 350 EXC-F to a great start in race one and charged his way to a second-place finish. 
 
In race two, Hart found himself buried off the inverted start and he got caught up in a first-turn pileup, which resulted in a night-ending hand injury. After getting x-rays on Saturday night, the Canadian rider is awaiting further evaluation from his doctor this week.
 
Abbott, now holding second overall in the championship standings, had a solid night despite the excitement taking place around him. Starting the night just outside the podium in race one, the Arizona native powered his way onto the box in the second and third races, scoring 3-2 finishes to solidify second overall in front of his hometown crowd.
 
KTM-supported rider Shelby Turner had a dominant night in the Women’s Class, besting the second-place rider by 42.6 seconds after six laps of racing. Additionally, Turner scored a top-five finish in the Intermediate division.
 
The AMA EnduroCross Championship will conclude with a double-header weekend in Denver, Colorado on October 29 and 30. For more information on the series and full results, visit www.endurocross.com
