BABBITT’S ONLINE/MONSTER ENERGY®/KAWASAKI TEAM GREEN™ RIDER GRANT BAYLOR CHARGES THROUGH ADVERSITY TO TAKE FIFTH OVERALL AT THE FOURTH ROUND OF THE AMA NATIONAL ENDURO SERIES
Round four of the AMA National Enduro Series took place over the weekend in the Appalachian foothills of Virginia, where Babbitt’s Online/Monster Energy®/Kawasaki Team Green™ rider Grant Baylor overcame adversity to take a fifth-place overall finish to retain his points lead in the NE Pro 1 class heading into round five of the series next month.

"My teammate Bobby Kerns and I completed all 30 laps over the course of about five hours to finish up first in the Manufacturer Stock Class and second in the overall race. In 20-25 mph winds with gusts in the 30-40 range, the water conditions were brutal. Our 2023 Kawasaki Jet Ski® Ultra® 310 LX-S shined in the conditions by holding line and allowing us to charge through the insane cross chop. This wouldn't have been possible without our great pit crew and family at Performance Fiberglass. I gave my trophy to the owner John Crabb who is a father to me, and has put his heart and soul into this endurance race team with Kawasaki. That was one hell of a race!"

“It was an unfortunate result at the end, but I'm super happy with my riding and where we're at with my KX250X. I started the race in third and passed my way into the lead through the Pro Section. I was then able to extend a decent gap ahead of the competition until I had an issue and needed to pull into the pits. We got the issue resolved and I jumped back into the race to salvage a sixth place finish.”
