It was a move watched by many as a statement \u2014 the series is expanding its geographical footprint and opening up the title race to more regional involvement. <\/span>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_14194\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]\"\" Jimmy Henderson swept the weekend in Pro4 at Glen Helen. Photo: Champ Off Road[\/caption]\r\n\r\nHeading into the event, the championship picture was razor-thin. Drivers in PRO2, PRO4, SxS, and buggy classes all entered knowing their result in San Bernardino could make or break their season. 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\"]\"\" Ricky G had a successful weekend at Glen Helen in Pro2 claiming the top podium spot two days in a row.

While Henderson swept the weekend on the podium, CJ Greaves secured his tenth Pro4 championship of the night. Over in Pro2, Ricky G also swept the weekend. Keegan Kincaid came out on top in the season points battle and clinched the championship. The points were tight between Connor Barry and Holtger. While Barry did make it to the podium, luck was Holtger\u2019s side as he came away with the ProLite Championship.\r\n\r\nWyatt Miller brought home the championship in ProSpec, Chaden Minder in ProBuggy and Owen VanEperen was awarded the championship in the ProSXS class.","excerpt":"

The opening rounds of the season were originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, March 14th<\/sup> and 15th<\/sup>, 2020 at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California. The series says the weeklong forecast leading into the weekend is filled with rain that will present an array of potential challenges in putting on the event. The series was forced to make a proactive cancellation in the best interest of all parties.\r\n\r\n\u201cThis was not a decision that we came to lightly. We know that our competitors have put in months of preparation for this weekend, and we know our passionate fanbase has been eagerly awaiting the start of the 2020 season,\u201d explained Ritchie Lewis, Director of Race Operations. \u201cFrom the moment we became aware of the weather forecast and were subsequently forced to consider making such a difficult decision, we took every single element into consideration. Ultimately, the ability to host a successful event, both for our competitors and for our fans, was the driving force behind our decision. Given how persistent the precipitation is expected to be during the week of the race, it would present a significant challenge in getting the venue properly prepared for the weekend, and we believed it was in the best interest of the entire short course community to take a proactive approach to reschedule those rounds, with the intention of providing our competitors ample notice of the change.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Series is expected to continue racing Saturday April 25th<\/sup> and Sunday April 26th<\/sup> in Chandler, Arizona. Any presale tickets can be exchanged for another event within the series. The two rounds of missed racing will be made up at other events later in the season.","excerpt":"
