Eagle River, Wis. ~ With just three rounds remaining in the AMSOIL Championship Snocross season, presented by Brunt Workwear, Saturday night at the historic World Championship Derby Complex in Eagle River carried enormous weight in the championship chase. Round 14 represented one of the final opportunities for riders to gain ground before the season finale in Duluth, placing added urgency on every lap across the national classes.

Eagle River’s legendary oval layout delivered a fast, racy track that demanded both precision and commitment. Multiple lines, big jumps, and deepening bumps challenged riders throughout the evening, rewarding those willing to attack the course while maintaining the concentration needed to avoid costly mistakes. With championships tightening and the margin for error shrinking, Saturday’s races became pivotal moments for contenders looking to either seize momentum or keep their title hopes alive.

Dillon Delivers Weekend Sweep, Takes Over Pro Points Lead

After 14 rounds of racing, the AMSOIL Pro championship has a new leader. Rookie Crayden Dillon seized control of the standings Saturday night in Eagle River with a commanding performance that completed a weekend sweep and reshaped the title fight heading into the final rounds.

Jordan Lebel grabbed the Stud Boy Holeshot to start the race, but the points leader was quickly shuffled deep into the pack as the field sorted itself out through the opening turns. Out front, Dillon capitalized immediately. Unlike the previous two rounds — where he had to charge from deep in the field to reach the podium, including Friday night’s victory — Dillon started at the front and never relinquished control. Building a gap early, he managed the race to the finish and secured his third win of the season.

“We came into the weekend, and the track was pretty boring, but it seemed to be shaping up in my favor,” said Dillon. “I don’t know, I just put in some good laps, just played it smart and got through the weekend 1-1 and I am just super stoked on that.”

The victory carried major championship implications. With Lebel finishing outside the top five and defending champion Emil Harr only managing starts, Dillon will head to Duluth with a 19-point lead over Lebel, who entered the day holding a six-point advantage.

Behind the new points leader, Daniel Benham kept the pressure on throughout the race and moved into second on lap eight after slipping past Gustav Sahlsten. The result marked Benham’s second runner-up finish of the weekend and keeps him mathematically in the title hunt.

Sahlsten rounded out the podium after a fierce late battle with Ryley Bester. Bester charged forward late in the race and the pair drag raced to the finish line, with Sahlsten edging him by just .07 seconds to secure his third podium finish of the season.

Cole Crosses First in Wild Pro Lite Final, Penalty Hands Win to Goike

The Pro Lite final delivered nonstop action Saturday night in Eagle River, with the lead changing hands multiple times in one of the most chaotic races of the season.

Evan Christian blasted off the line and grabbed the early lead, but the field was charging hard behind him. Kenny Goike quickly erased the deficit and by lap three found a fast outside line to sling past Christian and take control of the race.

Two laps later, points leader Cameron Cole had worked his way around Christian and was suddenly bar-to-bar with Goike. Cole capitalized quickly, slipping into the lead and beginning to stretch the gap as he appeared poised to complete a weekend sweep. Cole crossed the finish line first, capping off a dramatic race and seemingly securing his eighth victory of the season.

“We came like mid-pack off the start, and I had a couple of fast riders in front of me,” said Cole. “I was just trying to charge that whole race and keep my mind clear and I made some passes. I just kept charging and it felt good.”

Behind him, Christian shook off pressure from Adam Ashline before mounting a late charge on Goike, the pair battling hard through the closing laps as they navigated lapped traffic. Goike ultimately held the position to finish second, while Christian completed the podium in third.

However, following the race officials ruled that Cole had jumped under a yellow flag for a downed rider near the finish line. The penalty dropped Cole to fourth in the final results, awarding Goike his first career Pro Lite victory, with Christian second and Domenic Hegman third.
