The 2016 AMA EnduroCross Championship will wrap up inside the Citizens Business Bank Arena this weekend in Ontario, California and Colton Haaker is on the verge of wrapping up his first title. The Husqvarna factory rider comes in with a fourteen point lead over KTM’s Cody Webb and only needs a seventh place finish to clinch it. Haaker has five wins and two second place finishes so far in 2016 but EnduroCross obstacles make nothing a sure thing.

Webb, the two time defending AMA EnduroCross champion, has two wins, four seconds and one third place finish so far in 2016 and will need to win to keep any hopes of a third championship alive.

The battle for third position in the championship is also very interesting a Husqvarna’s Mike Brown currently holds a five point lead over twenty year old Ty Tremaine, who rides for the RPM KTM team. Brown is a motorcycle racing legend that refuses to give an inch while Tremaine is proving to be one of the stars of the future.
Beta backed Kyle Redmond and Max Gerston are currently fifth and sixth and still have a chance at third as well. Seventh is held by SRT KTM backed Cory Graffunder. Trystan Hart and Noah Kepple are close behind holding eighth and ninth respectively and are also among the young riders competing for the Junior Championship for riders twenty-one and under. GasGas backed Geoff Aaron rounds out the top ten.
There is also a manufacturer’s championship on the line in Ontario and for the first time in several years, KTM is facing stiff competition from Husqvarna. The manufacturer’s championship counts the main event points for the top two finishers for each brand and Husqvarna currently has a one point lead over KTM, 289 to 288 respectively. And Beta is a solid third with 206 points.
The Open Amateur, Vet and TrialsCross classes will all be gunning for AMA Grand Championship number one plates as the regional winners at all eight events (including the morning race in Ontario) face off in the evening main events. In the Vet class, former champion Kurt Nicholl will be attempting to take the number one plate on the Alta Electric bike.
