Peterson Claims First Career Pro Win as Harr’s Streak Ends

The AMSOIL Pro Triple Crown in Eagle River saw a shake-up as defending champion Emil Harr entered the weekend with seven straight wins and a 43-point lead. With five rounds of racing left, strong starts and qualifying were crucial, and Harr delivered early, lining up well and grabbing good starts to take wins in the first two rounds. But in round three, his dominance hit a roadblock—just after the start, Harr nosed in hard while trying to avoid another rider, was ejected from his sled, and finished tenth, leaving the door open for a new overall winner.

That opportunity fell to Adam Peterson and Hunter Patenaude, who entered the final round tied in points after finishing 2-3 and 3-2 in the first two rounds. In the final round, Evan Daudt led early, but it was Jacob Yurk who charged from sixth to first, taking the win over Daudt. Peterson held steady in third, securing enough points to clinch his first career Pro victory. Patenaude faded to eighth, leaving Peterson to celebrate a breakthrough win.

“I want more,” said Peterson. “That’s all I want, I want more. We got lucky with that last one, but all in all it was a great day.”

Despite the crash, Harr’s strong first two rounds helped him salvage a second-place overall finish, as he collected 12 valuable points to maintain his championship lead. Patenaude, who faded to eighth in the last round, earned his first podium of the season, finishing third overall for the weekend, a much-needed boost as he looks to gain momentum in the closing rounds.

Cole Wins First as Scheele Flips Deficit into Points Lead

The Anderson’s Maple Syrup Pro Lite championship battle continues to shift as Anson Scheele and Crayden Dillon trade setbacks and momentum heading into the final two weekends. Just one week after Scheele got tangled off the start, it was Dillon’s turn for trouble, as he got buried dead last after a tight turn-one jam-up. That left the door open for Scheele and Cameron Cole, who both nailed the start and found clean air at the front.

It was a tight race early, but Cole showed great late-season form and stamina, mastering the short track to claim his first career Pro Lite win.

“It’s so special. The whole team has been putting in so much work and the hard work pays off,” said Cole.” I went into this race with who knows what’s going to happen and I ended up on top of the box.”

 Scheele was just a step behind but held on for second, flipping his four-point deficit into a 10-point lead as Dillon fought his way back to finish tenth. Meanwhile, Kellen Chapuran delivered his best ride of the year, charging to third place and earning his first career podium in the class.

Hauger Capitalizes for Pro AM Women’s Win

The Bikeman Performance Pro AM Women’s final saw a rare struggle from points leader and defending champion Malene Cottew, who started mid-pack and was charging toward the front when she tried to pass Inanna Hauger for the lead. But Hauger held her line, and Cottew tipped over, eventually dropping out of contention. That opened the door for Hauger, who had grabbed the holeshot and never looked back, leading start to finish for her second win of the season. With four rounds remaining, Hauger has kept Cottew within 41 points, keeping the title chase alive.

Cerissa Blessum moved into second place after Cottew’s exit, securing a strong podium finish. Ava McCurdy, earning her fifth podium of the season, had to fight off a challenge from Victoria Dillon but held on to claim third place at the checkered flag.

Todd Shakes Up Pro AM Plus 30 with Second Win

Since joining the Thomas Sno Sports Pro AM Plus 30 class in round six, Corin Todd has made his presence felt, and he proved it again with his second win of the season. Despite his late start, Todd has been a consistent podium contender, and his latest victory keeps the title battle interesting as the season winds down.

It was a tough night for points leader Andy Lieders, who got buried off the start, allowing Brian Peterson to gain ground in the standings. The round one winner secured his seventh podium, while Tyler Oomen continued his strong season with his eighth podium of the year, keeping himself in the championship conversation.

Dylan Lebel Extends Winning Streak in FXR Sport Final

Dylan Lebel kept his momentum rolling in the FXR Sport final, leading start to finish to claim his fifth straight win and seventh overall. The points leader added another key victory to his season, further solidifying his spot at the top of the standings.
