BABBITT’S ONLINE/MONSTER ENERGY®/KAWASAKI TEAM GREEN’S GRANT BAYLOR CLAIMS FOURTH AT THE CHEROKEE NATIONAL ENDURO
Greensboro, Ga. - Round four of the AMA National Enduro Series took place over the weekend under extreme heat in the heart of Georgia at the long-running Cherokee National Enduro, where defending NE Pro-1 champion Grant Baylor would net a top-five overall finish to keep his championship hopes alive.
Baylor’s day would start off promising, as he would finish the first section of the race in the third place overall position before faltering to fourth in section two, still within striking distance of the leaders. While Baylor stayed consistent in the remaining tests of the day, his competition would begin to pull away as the day progressed, forcing the defending champion back to the fourth-place overall spot at the end of the race.
NE Pro2 rider Nick Defeo would struggle to find his flow in the tight Georgia pines but stayed consistent throughout the day and brought home a fifth-place finish in class.
Round Five of the NEPG series will take place on June 30th at the Little Raccoon National Enduro in Wellston, Ohio, where Team Babbitt’s/Monster Energy/Kawasaki Team Green’s Grant Baylor and Nick Defeo will look to place themselves back on the podium.
