Jimmy Henderson had an extremely successful weekend at Crandon International Raceway, sweeping Pro4 and winning the Red Bull Cup. Photo: Championship Off Road Racing[\/caption]\r\n\r\nSaturday brought the biggest racing day of the weekend, with World Championships on the line and the Pro divisions competing for critical championship points. Henderson was nearly untouchable in PRO4. The Georgia driver grabbed the holeshot and immediately opened a gap on the field, leading every lap for his fifth victory of the season. The win increased his championship lead over CJ Greaves to nine points with the final two rounds remaining at Glen Helen. The fight for second went down to the final laps. Mickey Thomas was fast throughout the race, but a problem with his left-front wheel allowed Greaves to close in. The two made contact with two laps remaining, and although Greaves was briefly slowed, he recovered to finish second.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16226\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Champ-Off-Road_Fall-Crandon-Pro2_Ricky-G-1024x683.jpg\")

Gutierrez took control early and quickly separated himself from the field for his first victory since Round 6 at ERX, keeping his championship hopes alive. Cory Winner appeared headed for second before an incident in the final turn with two laps remaining sent him spinning and caused water to begin pouring from the rear coolers. Ryan Beat moved into second and held on for his sixth podium in the last seven rounds. Johnny Holtger finished third, extending his podium streak to six consecutive races and moving to within 20 points of Beat in the championship standings.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16228\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-Championship-Off-Road-Racing_Fall-Crandon-Connor-Barry-1024x683.jpg\")
