The AMA EnduroCross series will make a first time visit to the state of Arizona this weekend and Taylor Robert headlines a long list of locals ready to showcase their talent inside the WestWorld Arena. Robert, a two time EnduroCross main event winner, is coming off his first ever FIM Enduro World Champioship event win last week in France. Several of the top stars of EnduroCross call the Phoenix area home including Beta’s Max Gerston, Cooper Abbott, Mason Ottersberg and Mitch Carvolth, who happens to be Robert’s roommate.
And all of the above riders would tell you that Destry Abbott, Cooper’s father and a multi-time AMA Hare & Hound champion, played a role in their racing success. Destry is hoping to be on hand for his first EnduroCross event of the season as he has been enduring his own battle with Leukemia over the past several months.
Due to his Enduro World Championship commitments for 2016, this will be Robert’s first EnduroCross of the year. But he did win the last EnduroCross race he competed in at the 2015 season finale in Ontario, California. “I’m really looking forward to the Phoenix EnduroCross,” Robert said. “We have a really big off-road scene in Arizona and a handful of guys that can qualify for a main event so it should be really exciting for the hometown crowd.”

Robert and the Arizona locals will be looking to break up the stranglehold at the top between Husqvarna’s Colton Haaker and KTM’s Cody Webb. Haaker won the first two events of the year and Webb won the most recent round in Salt Lake City. Haaker currently has a one point lead over Webb leading into Phoenix.
