CHAMPIONSHIPS EARNED!
The final round in Monterey, Tennessee is officially done and dusted—and that couldn’t be more true.
Round 7 delivered dry, dusty conditions throughout the weekend. We thought we had managed to dodge all the storms that had been popping up around the region, but Mother Nature had other plans. Just as Pro podiums were getting underway, the skies opened up and sent riders, families, and spectators scrambling for cover. If that scene sounds familiar, you’re not imagining it—the 2025 season finale ended in much the same fashion, with pro riders huddled under tents waiting out the weather before interviews and celebrations could continue.
As we reflect on the conclusion of the 2026 US Sprint Enduro season, one thing is abundantly clear: we are incredibly excited about what lies ahead in 2027.
The feedback we’ve received throughout the year has been overwhelming in the best possible way. From first-time racers discovering US Sprint Enduro competition to longtime series regulars who continue to support our vision, your enthusiasm for the future of this sport has energized us more than you know. Trail Pros and US Sprint Enduro have always been committed to giving 110%, and the appreciation, encouragement, and support we receive from our racers and families fuel us to keep pushing forward.
To every rider, family member, sponsor, volunteer, and fan who attended an event this season—thank you.
We also want to recognize the incredible crew behind the scenes. This team has been absolutely clutch all season long. From pounding stakes and hanging ribbon to scoring, registration, staging, setup, teardown, and everything in between, their dedication has been unwavering. It truly takes a village to put on a championship-caliber series, and we are fortunate to have a group of people who care deeply about delivering the quality experience our racers have come to expect.
The miles traveled, long days, late nights, changing weather, and countless hours of preparation are all worth it when we see racers lined up, families enjoying the weekend, and championships being decided down to the final test.
Thank you for being part of the 2026 US Sprint Enduro season.
We’ll take a short breath, get back to work, and start building what comes next.
See you at the races in 2027.

FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Grant Davis and KTM Orange Brigade’s Cooper Jones wasted no time writing the final
chapter of the 2026 US Sprint Enduro Series, clinching their respective championships a day early at the Old Gray
Sprint Enduro in Monterey, Tennessee. In a commanding display, Davis secured both the Overall crown and the Pro
1 title, while Jones locked in the Pro 2 championship.
Demonstrating consistency and speed, Davis topped four of the thirteen scheduled race days and added seven
podium finishes, amassing an imposing 357 points with Sunday’s competition still to come. His performance placed
him 72 points ahead of Jones, who finished the season as the runner-up in the overall standings, in addition to his
Pro 2 title.
Despite missing the opening two rounds, equating to four full days of competition, Toby Cleveland (Hsq) delivered
an impressive late-season surge. The Husqvarna rider captured three victories en route to third overall and a strong
second-place finish in the highly competitive Pro 2 division.
Adding further weight to the weekend’s results, the Old Gray Sprint Enduro featured a double-points format,
amplifying both the intensity and the stakes as riders battled for final championship positioning.
Saturday
Davis and Jones wasted no time igniting a fierce battle on Saturday, trading strengths across the two test formats.
Davis held the edge in the cross tests, while Jones answered back by dominating the enduro sections. The pattern
remained consistent all day, with Davis setting the fastest time in each of the three cross tests, while Jones swept all
three enduro tests. When the final times were compiled, it was Davis’s steady performance that made the
difference. By stacking consistent top finishes, he secured the Saturday’s win, finishing nearly seven seconds ahead
of Jones. Davis’s results included two runner-up times and a third, compared to Jones’s two seconds and a fourth,
ultimately tipping the balance in Davis’s favor.
Husqvarna’s Gavin Simon delivered a strong performance, securing third overall on Saturday while claiming second
in the Pro 1 class, his time fifteen seconds adrift of Jones. Meanwhile, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Red Bear Kawasaki
Racing’s Will Sievenpiper led the Pro-Am ranks with an impressive fourth overall. Colton Shields (Hsq) completed
the top five overall and earning third place in the highly competitive Pro-Am division.
“Today’s win locked up the championship for me, and I’m pleased with that,” said Davis. “It’s been a fun year, but it’s
unfortunate that Johnny (Girroir) and Cody (Barnes) were out most of the year. I wish the season had ended
differently and we could have battled together all year.”
Brody Amos (Hsq) was the top amateur for the day with his win in the 250A division.
Sunday
On Sunday, Davis once again asserted his authority in the cross tests, setting the benchmark on all three runs. The
Pennsylvania native complemented that speed with a victory in one of the enduro sections, delivering the top score
of the day and further cementing his position at the head of the overall standings.
Jones maintained a strong pace to secure second place once more, finishing 20 seconds adrift of Davis on the day
and 27 seconds back in the combined results. His consistent performance earned him second overall for the
weekend, along with top honors in the Pro 2 division.
1st Place Grant Davis (KTM) 2nd Place Cooper Jones (KTM) 3rd Place Colton Shields (HUS)
Pro Am standout Colton Shields completed the overall podium
in third, 35 seconds behind Jones, a result that also secured him the Pro-Am class win.
“I ended up getting it done early,” said Jones. “I stayed consistent all year and I had quite a few battles with Grant,
so overall it was a super good season.”
The top three in the Pro 1 division were Davis, Simon and Ryan Amancio (KTM). Jones, Toby Cleveland (Hsq) and
Brody Johnson (Hsq) filled out the Pro 2 podium, while Shields Sievenpiper and Chase Landers (KTM) were the top
three in the Pro-Am division.
The top Amateur for the weekend was 250 A winner Brody Amos (Hsq).
In the Women’s Pro Division, FMF KTM’s Brandy Richards put on a near-flawless performance, capturing an
incredible eleven of twelve tests over the weekend. Her dominance left little room for challengers, as she
powered to both day wins and the overall victory ahead of AmPro Yamaha’s Danielle McDonald. McDonald
showed flashes of brilliance, however, snatching the lone test Richards didn’t claim, the second enduro test,
where she edged Richards by a razor-thin margin of just 0.8 seconds.
“It was a fun season and I’m really glad that Danielle rode the series, she definitely gave me a run for my
money, ” said Richards. “I struggled at the start of the year with an injury, but I came on strong at the end of
the schedule and brought home the championship, so it was a good year.”
