CALGARY, Alberta (CAN) – FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Kacy Martinez made the trip to Calgary’s Wild Rose MX Park in Alberta, Canada over the weekend to compete in her first-ever Red Bull Rocks & Logs extreme enduro event. Martinez rode her KTM 250 EXC-F to an impressive victory on Sunday in the Ladies Main Event.

 

Red Bull Rocks & Logs is a head-to-head, knock-out format of extreme racing that brings together challenging and technical design elements from enduros and harescrambles. The race format for the Ladies class was originally slated to have qualifying on Saturday and racing on Sunday, but torrential downpours and flashes of lightening cancelled all of Saturday’s on-track activity. With practice being postponed until Sunday morning, Martinez took to the muddy course first thing in the morning where she emerged with second overall in qualifying to seed her into the afternoon’s Main Event.

 

In the Main Event, Martinez shot off the line to capture the holeshot and early lead as she fended off two competitors early in the race. With every lap, Martinez was able to feel more comfortable and confident as she eventually pulled away from the field to capture the overall victory in Canada.

 

Martinez:“I couldn’t be happier about taking the win at my first Red Bull Rocks & Logs event! With Saturday’s events getting canceled due to all the rain we got, it sure made for an interesting practice on Sunday morning! But going into the Main Event, the track was looking prime with the beautiful weather and the track dried out to make for some great racing! I felt confident on my bike and I rode the track better and better each lap. I’m so stoked to bring home the win!”
