On the PRO2 side, Ken Roczen \u2014 the motocross and supercross star \u2014 made his debut in the series, adding fresh intrigue to an already stacked field. From the opening maneuvers to the final checkered flag, battles erupted at every turn. Tricks, air time, wheel-to-wheel action and some strategic gambles all played roles. In typical Glen Helen fashion, drivers had to manage dust, blind crests, and uneven terrain all while pushing for max speed.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_14195\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Champ-Off-Road-Glen-Helen_RickyG-1024x683.jpg\")

Henderson has four wins this season. In Pro2, Crandon\u2019s hometown hero Keegan Kincaid was at it again. Kincaid is considered a master at Crandon. Kincaid knows every inch of that track and fans love to watch him wheel around the track. Kincaid nailed the race wire to wire coming away clean out of the landrush start, getting the holeshot and commanding the field all the way to end.
