The popular race is part of the events of King of the Hammers week. \u00a0Much like the four wheeled vehicle course, King of the Motos features high speed desert terrain and rockcrawling over giant boulders. The course can be much harder to navigate on two wheels. Organizer Justin Leineweber threw in an extra element. The entire course was unmarked. Riders had to navigate the course via GPS units.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-434\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/King-of-the-Motos_Race-Start-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-435\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/King-of-the-Motos_Group-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\nGerman KTM rider Manuel Littenbichler had the lead on the third lap, battling Cody Webb. Unfortunately, Littenbhichler somehow bypassed the obstacle in Backdoor. He was assessed a 1-hour penalty. 2017 winner Colton Haaker received a similar penalty. The mistakes allowed Cody Webb to take the victory and the crown. Webb missed a checkpoint in 2017 and lost to Haaker. Webb has multiple wins at the King of the Motos. Webb sustained an ACL injury ten months prior to the event sidelining him from racing.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-436\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/King-of-the-Motos_RedBull-KTM-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\n\u201cThe first lap everyone was taking turns leading, making mistakes. I kind of didn\u2019t make the best decision on tires but it lasted. I ran a standard tire, just because I knew it\u2019d last, and it really kicked my butt,\u201d Webb said. \u201cSo, the first two laps I struggled, and I did all I could to hang with Manny, just to stay in his rear wheel. That last half I had a way better tire setup. And then I shot up Backdoor, and I saw him miss it, and then it was like \u201cOk, I know he missed that checkpoint.\u201d So, once I saw Manny miss that checkpoint on the final lap, I was like \u2018OK, take your time, don\u2019t mess anything up because that\u2019s going to be a big setback for him.\u201d I lost that way a couple of years ago and it sucks. Manny definitely out rode me today.\u201d\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-437\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/King-of-the-Motos_Riders-Rocks-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\nFor complete King of the Motos results, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ultra4racing.com\">www.ultra4racing.com<\/a>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-439\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/King-of-the-Motos_Uphill-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\nImages courtesy of: King of the Hammers","excerpt":"<p>King of the Motos was back in Johnson Valley over the weekend.

For years, there have been just a very small handful of racers that continuously won the event over and over. Blyler had the lead at the very end of the race with Hammertown in his sights when he rolled the car on Backdoor. Every second would count. Recovery crews positioned in the canyon had to hook up to the vehicle and get it back on all four wheels. Blyler left his co-driver behind and raced to the finish line with a 20-minute lead on corrected time.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-411\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-King-of-the-Hammers_Josh-Blyler-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\n\u201cWe really messed that up. That was really stupid,\u201d said Blyler when asked about the rollover. \u201cWe came to this race four years ago and my goal was to finish,\u201d said Blyler. Finish he did in a Miller Motorsports chassis. Right behind Blyler was Erik Miller who was eventually scored in second place on corrected time.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-412\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-King-of-the-Hammers_Erik-Miller-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-413\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-King-of-the-Hammers_MarineFlyover-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\nJust under one hundred starters took the green flag at the 2020 King of the Hammers race. The day began with a military flyover from the 29 Palms Marine Base. Loren Healy was out front early on in the race. Healy opted to run this year\u2019s King of the Hammers in a single seat race vehicle. That may have been a wrong gamble as he soon began to drop back in the field. Through the dust, Bailey Campbell was leading on her last lap with shot at the title. She would go down with mechanical issues. Cameron Steele was next up in lead as he passed Campbell. It wouldn\u2019t be long before the gremlins struck Steele too. Mechanical issues would end his run. Steele competed Thursday in the T1 Unlimited Desert truck race. Mechanical issues sidelined him there too.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-414\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-King-of-the-Hammers_Loren-Healy-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-415\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-King-of-the-Hammers_Steele-and-Bailey-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\nA potential bottleneck in Chocolate Thunder had officials scrambling to discuss a course re-route. As the leaders neared the famous obstacle, Promoter Dave Cole gave the competitors a thumbs up to go through. Crisis averted. Racers will finish throughout the night, accomplishing the impossible. Conquering one of the toughest races on the planet. Full results will be available on www.ultra4racing.com once the course closes.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-416\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-King-of-the-Hammers_Backdoor-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-417\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-King-of-the-Hammers_DownBackdoor-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-419\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-King-of-the-Hammers_JackHammer-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>","excerpt":"<p>Josh Blyler has been crowned the 2020 King at the King of the Hammers race in Johnson Valley.
