Lena, Wis. ~ The pressure ramped up in Lena, Wisconsin, as Round 10 of AMSOIL Championship Off-Road Presented by Brunt unfolded at the Dirt City Motorplex. After two intense days of racing, the track was worn and unpredictable, temperatures were rising, and championship tension was at an all-time high.

Could CJ Greaves make history with career off-road win No. 200? Would anyone be able to derail Keegan Kincaid’s red-hot Pro 2 run? And in Pro Stock SXS, could Owen VanEperen make it six straight wins to further solidify his place atop the standings? With all 19 classes going head-to-head on a physically demanding course, Sunday was set to test the limits of man and machine in a pivotal midseason showdown.

Greaves Cruises to Win No. 199, Inches Closer to Off-Road Milestone in Pro 4

CJ Greaves had two shots earlier in the day to hit the coveted 200-win mark in off-road racing but came up just short in both SXS classes. He didn’t miss in Pro 4. The 30-year-old star took another major step toward career win No. 200—and a 10th Pro 4 championship—with a dominant performance on Sunday at Dirt City.

Greaves stretched out an early lead in his Toyota and never looked back, controlling the pace from start to finish in what he calls “true off-road racing.” He drove clean and fast en route to win No. 199, leaving no doubt about who owns Dirt City.

“The approach is always to take it lap by lap, pick it apart and do our thing,” said Greaves. “We got out front right off the start, and got a decent little car gap there and then just managed the race from there.”

Adrian Cenni was aiming for back-to-back Lena podiums and battled Jimmy Henderson early before Henderson rolled out of contention with what appeared to be a broken shock. Cenni held second until a mid-race caution, but on the restart, Kyle Greaves—filling in for his injured uncle Johnny Greaves in the iconic No. 22—charged into second and pulled away to secure his second podium of the weekend. Cenni stayed strong to finish third, earning his first double-podium weekend of the season.

Beat Breaks Through, Ends Kincaid’s Streak with Pro 2 Win in Lena

Ryan Beat had been chasing Keegan Kincaid all season long—often battling through traffic just to get a shot at the red-hot points leader. But on Sunday, Beat flipped the script. He forced the issue early, powering into the lead as Kincaid got shuffled back and caught in contact, eventually settling into second.

From there, Beat set a blistering pace and steadily pulled away. Kincaid’s charge came to an early end with four laps to go when he was forced to pull into the hot pits, clearing the way for Beat to cruise to his first win since Round 4 in Antigo.

“This is definitely redemption today,” said Beat. “I knew off the start I had to get a jump and just kind of pinch Keegan down. I had to control the situation and then just put my head down and put in solid laps.”

Kyle Greaves had made a key pass on Jacob Rosales earlier in the race and capitalized on Kincaid’s misfortune to take second—his third podium in the last four rounds. Rosales continues to find his groove in the Pro 2 class, locking in third for his second straight weekend on the podium.

Barry Breaks Through as Holtger’s Streak Ends in Pro Lite Showdown

Johnny Holtger entered Sunday’s Pro Lite race looking to complete the weekend sweep and extend his win streak to three, but Connor Barry once again stepped up as the spoiler. The two championship contenders started side-by-side on the front row, with Barry jumping out to an early lead while Holtger had to battle through traffic before settling into second on lap three.

The top two ran nose-to-tail until lap seven, when Holtger was forced to pull into the hot pits with a flat rear tire, handing Barry a clear track. But it wasn’t smooth sailing—Barry nearly lost it all with three laps to go after flipping his truck. Remarkably, he landed on all four wheels and didn’t miss a beat, charging on to claim his second win of the season.

“The second half I tried to be smart, but then I flipped, and that wasn’t very smart,” said Barry. “But I got back on four wheels and was able to drive it to the win.”

Behind him, Matt Wood and Joey Maciosek duked it out in the final laps. Wood secured his third straight podium in second, while Maciosek, a class rookie, earned his first podium since Round 3 in Crandon with a strong third-place finish despite a flat tire as he crossed the finish line.

Van Den Elzen Outduels Miller in Thrilling Pro Spec Finish

With the championship battle intensifying, Chris Van Den Elzen and Wyatt Miller delivered a Pro Spec classic on Sunday at Dirt City. Miller dominated the first half of the race, stretching out a five-second lead before the mandatory caution bunched up the field. That’s when Van Den Elzen went on the attack.

The points leader briefly grabbed the top spot on lap 11, and after a back-and-forth battle—with both drivers putting their trucks on two wheels—Van Den Elzen emerged out front once again to claim his fourth win in five rounds, bouncing back after Saturday’s streak-ending defeat. Miller crossed the line in second, keeping the points race tight heading into the final stretch.

Hunter VanZile appeared to have third locked up until a spin in the final turns dropped him out of contention. After review, Dylan Parsons was officially credited with third, earning his fourth podium of the season.

Minder Makes His Move, Denies Buth Sweep with Pro Buggy Win

Billy Buth was eyeing a weekend sweep in Pro Buggy and looking to strengthen his grip on the points lead, but the driver lined up next to him had different plans. Round one winner Chaden Minder, a key player in the championship chase, rocketed off the start and never looked back—leading early and again after a mid-race restart to claim his second win of the season.

Buth and Zachary Drapkin both got around Ryan Schwalbe following the restart, with Drapkin taking the edge in a tight battle for second. He held off Buth in the closing laps to notch his fifth podium of the season, while Buth settled for third, keeping the points race tight heading into the final stretch.

Bootle Holds Off Greaves to Tighten Title Race in Pro SXS Thriller

CJ Greaves was hunting career off-road win No. 199 on Sunday as he lined up alongside Jeb Bootle in a marquee Pro SXS showdown. But Bootle made him wait until Pro 4, outdueling the defending champ in a wire-to-wire battle to pick up his fourth win of the season.

Both drivers have been building momentum—Bootle with a win at ERX and Greaves returning to form with a dominant Round 9 victory. On Sunday, they were the class of the field, running nose-to-tail from start to finish. Bootle withstood every challenge Greaves threw his way to lock in the win, while Greaves settled for second and a strong two-podium weekend in Lena.

Points leader Owen VanEperen rebounded from a tough 15th-place finish on Saturday, slicing through the field to claim third. But the title race tightened significantly—what was a 34-point lead now stands at just one over Bootle heading into the final stretch.

VanEperen Rallies for Sixth Straight in Gritty Pro Stock SXS Comeback

Owen VanEperen has made a habit of winning with outright speed and clean air, but Sunday’s Pro Stock SXS race demanded something different—grit and a comeback. After a mid-pack start and a brief stall that dropped him to 11th, VanEperen refired and charged back through the field, determined to keep his win streak alive.

Up front, Tyson Marquardt controlled the pace early until a near roll on lap five allowed David Gay to slip into the lead. Gay held strong under pressure, but on lap 13, VanEperen completed his rally and took over the top spot, driving to his sixth consecutive win in one of his most hard-fought victories yet. 

Gay finished just a car length back for his second podium of the weekend, while Cross Kirchmeier held steady in third for the second half of the race, earning his fifth podium of the season.

PRO AM SXS: The Pro AM SXS class has been one of the most competitive of the season, with five different winners heading into Sunday’s action. Make that six, as Trent Peetz broke through with a wire-to-wire victory—his first win of the year after just two prior top-five finishes.

Round eight winner Matthew Boerschinger, currently second in the standings and chasing Saturday winner Lucas Houle, stayed within striking distance all race long and collected his fourth podium of the season in second. Jacob Blemke worked his way through traffic and made a late move around Houle with two laps to go, securing his third podium of the year in third.

FREEDOM RACE LIFTS PRO AM TURBO SXS: Blake Enloe, fresh off his second win of the season on Saturday, looked poised for a weekend sweep after leading the opening three laps on Sunday. But a sudden slowdown on lap four allowed points leader Rick Schroeder to take control of the race.

As the laps wound down, Rory Navin charged into second and set up a thrilling drag race to the finish. Schroeder held his line and fended off the late pressure to secure his sixth win of the season. Navin’s strong push came up just short, but he added a seventh podium to his consistent season. Enloe was able to refire after his mid-race issue and battled back to round out the podium in third.

SUPER STOCK TRUCK: With the Stock Truck vs. Super Stock Truck Shootout drawing extra attention on Saturday night, several top-tier trucks returned to the track for Sunday’s Super Stock showdown—including former champion Nick Visser. Now competing in Pro Spec, Visser made a guest appearance and showed he hasn’t lost a step, starting in the second row and taking control by lap two.

He held off early pressure from defending champion Cory Holtger, then fended off a late charge from Nick Byng to secure the win. Byng, known for his strong second-half drives, proved it once again by taking over second after the restart and earning his second points podium of the weekend. Holtger stayed consistent, rounding out the podium in third for his fourth straight top-three finish.

STOCK TRUCK: Sunday’s Stock Truck race played out nearly identically to Saturday’s showdown. Brian Peot once again jumped out front and led through the first half, but Saturday winner Colt Wierzba made his move off the restart, slipping into the lead after the mandatory caution.

The two stayed locked in a tight battle to the checkers, with Wierzba edging Peot by just half a second to complete the weekend sweep. Round 8 winner Dustin Rogaczewski had one of the strongest drives of the day, charging through the entire field to claim third.

RACE-DRIVEN SPORTSMAN SXS: Running out front early didn’t prove to be the winning formula in Sunday’s Sportsman SXS race. Brody Duescher led the opening lap, and points leader Code St. Peter took over until just after the mandatory caution, when he pulled off the track, handing the lead to Riley Marquardt.

The shuffle continued two laps later as Bryce Carlson made a clean pass on Bryce Powers for the top spot and never looked back, securing his first win of the season. Jacob Blemke, filling in for Kaitlyn Anderson, put on a show—charging from 29th to second. Zack Wirhanowicz also stormed through the field, moving from tenth on lap five to grab his first podium of the year in third.

1600 SINGLE BUGGY: Connor Schulz delivered a near carbon-copy performance in Sunday’s 1600 Single Buggy race, mirroring his earlier win in 1600 Light Buggy. Starting ninth once again, Schulz charged to the front by lap three and steadily pulled away from the field to secure his fifth win of the season.

Saturday winner Taylor Roloff started tenth and made his move after the mandatory caution, passing Michael Seefeldt and locking in a strong second-place finish. Travis Trelstad continued his consistent run, pushing hard to claim third and earn his third straight podium.

1600 LIGHT BUGGY: Connor Schulz is starting to find his rhythm in 1600 Single Buggy, adding another impressive drive to his growing streak. After starting ninth, Schulz sliced through the field with precision, taking the lead by the end of lap two and never looking back on his way to a third consecutive win.

Tom Perryman, the winner of Round 6, was the closest challenger and collected his second podium of the season with a solid runner-up finish. Evan Hockers, also a Round 6 winner, worked his way up from 11th to grab third—his sixth podium of the year.

MOD KART: Carter Zahara came out flying in Sunday’s Mod Kart race, showing impressive early pace before coming to a sudden stop while leading. That handed the top spot to Wesley Vande Voort, who appeared poised for his second win of the season—until he too came to a halt.

From there, Lincoln Mandsager took full advantage, powering ahead for a dominant victory and a weekend sweep in Lena. Behind him, Corbyn Wassenberg and Chase Alsteen engaged in a thrilling second-half battle, crossing the line just 0.3 seconds apart, with Wassenberg securing the runner-up spot.

SHORT COURSE KARTS: The second half of the Short Course Kart season kicked off with intense competition and no clear runaway favorite, as six different drivers had claimed wins entering Lena. Round eight winner Jarrett Meulemans looked to become a two-time victor with an early lead on Sunday, but Roman Tullberg continued his charge.

Tullberg took control on lap three and held strong under pressure from Meulemans to complete the weekend sweep and take over the points lead from his brother Jacobi. Meulemans notched his second podium of the season in second, while Ava Plummer made a bold last-lap pass to secure third in a crowded battle for the final podium spot.

YOUTH SXS: Isaac Otto was aiming for a weekend sweep in Youth SXS after grabbing the win on Saturday, and he looked strong early, leading deep into the race while fending off Alexander Walraven. But on lap seven, Logan Fritzinger went on the hunt—charging from third to first in under a lap to secure his eighth win of the season.

With Fritzinger out front, the battle continued behind him as Walraven turned up the pressure on Otto. In the final lap, Walraven slipped past to claim a career-best second-place finish and his second podium of the season. Otto settled for third after leading much of the race.

570 SXS: Peyton Weisbrod looked untouchable early in Sunday’s 570 SXS race, pulling away from the field in the opening laps. But Raymond Deininger mounted a late-race charge and executed a last-lap pass to edge out the points leader and earn his fifth win of the season.

Weisbrod capped a strong weekend with her second podium, finishing just a car length behind Deininger. Saturday winner Kody Krantz made a hard charge from ninth on the grid, slipping past Jack Betts on the final lap to grab third—just inches behind Weisbrod at the line.

170 SXS: Jersey Kleikamp continued her impressive season in 170 SXS, extending her perfect podium streak with another dominant performance on Sunday. After winning on Saturday, she found clean air by lap three and never looked back, cruising to the weekend sweep.

Points leader Miles Packenham slotted into second on lap four and held steady, collecting his second podium of the weekend. The battle for third was a tight one, with multiple drivers in the mix, but Tucker Packenham made the decisive move on the final lap, slipping past Drew Gerber to claim the final podium spot.

200 SXS: Grayson Forseth appeared to be on his way to another 200 SXS win, holding the lead with just a couple of turns to go. But a late-race issue forced him to pull off, opening the door for Finnly Pence to capitalize and drive through for his first win of the season.

Dallas Carlson, running just behind the leaders, moved up to second and secured his seventh podium of the 2025 season. Henry Holtger advanced into third, locking in his second podium of the weekend with another strong drive.
