EVERETT, Wash. – The opening round of the 2023 AMA EnduroCross Championship took off in Everett, Washington, on Saturday evening, with FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Trystan Hart beginning his title quest with a fifth-place result in the EX Pro Class.
In charging to the second-fastest time during the Hot Lap segment, Hart achieved comfort early in the day's proceedings on the tight circuit inside the Angel of the Winds Arena, coming to grips with the technical log and tire sections that characterized the circuit layout.

After a second-place start in the opening race, Hart secured the lead from lap two, maintaining position and a fast pace before a fall with one lap remaining relegated last year's runner-up to second position. A difficult start in the second outing saw the Canadian climb his way from the rear of the field forward, making a move for fifth place on the final lap.

Another mid-field start in the final race saw Hart begin his race in 10th place, making steady progress through the field and resulting in an eighth-place finish by race's end. Combined, those results saw him earn fifth overall for the event to open the new season.

The AMA EnduroCross Championship now heads to the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona, for round two of the series on October 21.

Trystan Hart“My day started off pretty good here at round one. I'm really excited to be back racing the EnduroCross championship this year after coming so close to the title last year. I was able to finish in P2 for both the Hot Lap and the opening moto, and then from there, honestly, I just struggled. Disappointing night to finish up fifth, but we'll regroup as a team and come out stronger in Arizona for the next round."
