Jimmy Henderson entered Glen Helen with the PRO4 points lead and survived a wild Friday night that saw hometown favorite RJ Anderson take the win. Anderson charged to the front Friday after Henderson spun while battling for the lead, while Mickey Thomas finished second and Adrian Cenni took third. Henderson\u2019s championship advantage over CJ Greaves was reduced, setting up a winner-take-all feel for the finale. Henderson answered when it mattered most, securing the PRO4 championship and capping a season-long battle that also included Greaves and Thomas. The title was especially hard-earned after Henderson had to fight through the chaos at Glen Helen, where the rough track and limited visibility made every lap a challenge.<\/p>\r\n

Ryan Beat also entered the weekend with a championship lead and came under pressure from Johnny Holtger during the final rounds. Beat finished third in Friday night's PRO2 race, but a post-race penalty dropped him from the podium and moved Ricky Gutierrez into third. Cole Mamer stole the show, charging from deep in the field to claim his first career PRO2 victory in only his second race in the class. Holtger finished second. Despite the late pressure, Beat held on to capture the PRO2 championship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16445\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]\"\" Connor Barry closed out the season with the Pro-Lite points championship.

Connor Barry had already done enough Friday night to put the Pro-Lite championship out of reach. Barry took control of the race before the midway point and drove away for his third victory in four rounds. The win not only delivered another victory but officially secured his 2026 Pro-Lite championship. Madix Bailey finished second, while Kyle Knott earned his first career Pro-Lite podium with a third-place finish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16447\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]\"\" Nick Visser was victorious this season in Pro-Spec.

Nick Visser secured the Pro-Spec championship despite massive pressure from Avery Hemmer, while Jeb Bootle came into Glen Helen with an advantage in Pro Side-by-Side.
