REDMOND, Oreg. – FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Trystan Hart pieced together a decisive night of racing at Round 5 of the 2023 AMA EnduroCross Championship, charging to second overall in the EX Pro Class and further closing in on the points-lead with just one round remaining.
Opening the Redmond, Oregon, round by posting the third-fastest qualifying time during the Pro Hot Lap segment, Hart acclimatized to the technical track layout as he tuned his KTM 350 XC-F accordingly to the surrounding terrain.

Launching off the line for Moto 1, the Canadian was in the fight from the outset, battling inside the top-five as he inched his way closer toward the front of the field. A late-race charge saw the number 84 collect a strong second-place finish to begin the evening.

Hooking up again off the start in Moto 2, Hart sliced his way into second place by the midway mark of the race, maintaining pressure on the leader as less than a second separated the pair, before a last lap move saw Hart take P1, and claim an exhilarating race win to lead the round points overall heading into the final outing.

Moto 3 saw Hart race to another race podium after a challenging start saw him work his way through the pack, this time securing third place, and reducing the gap in the championship standings to just seven points with a single round remaining in Reno, Nevada, next weekend.

Trystan Hart: “Finished up Round 5 here with second on the night! It was super-tight racing between me and Colton [Haaker] with a winner-take-all in the final race. I didn’t get the jump in Moto 3, and that was important on this track, as it was hard to pass. We made up a lot of points today here in the championship – now we’ll look ahead to Reno!”

The final round of the 2023 AMA EnduroCross Championship heads to Reno’s Reno-Sparks Livestock Event Center, Nevada, for Round 6 of this year’s series on November 18.
