Round 2 of the season delivered another full weekend of high-intensity ATV racing, with Saturday reserved for the Women’s Pro division before the Pro and Pro-Am riders lined up on Sunday. From holeshots to heartbreak, the weekend had a little bit of everything and in the Pro ranks especially, the action never let up.

Saturday’s Women’s Pro race opened the program with an explosive start. Torey Matajcich launched off the line to grab the holeshot, immediately putting herself at the front of the pack and setting the early tempo. She looked aggressive and comfortable in the opening laps, but the race quickly shifted when a mechanical issue surfaced. Rather than pushing the machine to its limit and risking a DNF, Matajcich made the smart championship move, backing it down and riding conservatively to secure valuable points. That decision kept her in the title hunt, but it opened the door for reigning champion Layne Fryar. Fryar was methodical throughout the race, keeping her laps consistent and mistake-free while others dealt with setbacks. Once she assumed control, she never relinquished it, riding to a confident Round 2 victory. Behind her, Bailey Baron and Dakota Hibler kept the pressure on and rounded out a competitive podium battle. With Matajcich salvaging points despite adversity and Fryar adding another win to her résumé, the Women’s Pro championship remains tight and compelling.

Sunday belonged to the Pro and Pro-Am divisions, and it was clear early on that the Pro class would be the epicenter of the weekend’s drama. From the first lap, the intensity was dialed up. Travis Damon set the pace and laid down fast, clean laps that forced the rest of the field to respond. Gage Leaver and Logan Huff stayed within striking distance, making every lap through the technical sections count.

The Pro section of the track proved to be the defining feature of the race and the source of the biggest shakeups. It was there that Max Lindquist suffered a mechanical failure that ended his day prematurely. In a class where every second matters, the loss of a front-runner immediately reshaped the battle at the front. That same Pro section also caught out Beau Baron. After taking the wrong line into the section, Baron had a small mishap that resulted in a penalty, dropping him down the order and eliminating what could have been a strong finish. The section demanded precision and punished even the smallest mistakes, a reminder that in Pro racing, execution is everything. Between Lindquist’s mechanical trouble and Baron’s penalty, the Pro class easily delivered the most action and unpredictability of the entire weekend.

In Pro-Am, however, the storyline was much more straightforward. Eduardo Rojas left no doubt about who controls the class right now. From the outset, Rojas rode with confidence and authority, putting together smooth, consistent laps while keeping challengers at bay. He avoided mistakes, managed the technical sections efficiently, and steadily built his advantage. With his Round 2 victory, Rojas now opens the season with two straight wins and undeniable momentum. He’s coming into this year sharp and focused, and if the early rounds are any indication, the Pro-Am field will have to elevate its game to disrupt his run at the top.

Next up, the series heads to Sunny Lake Havasu for the infamous Havasu round. A venue known for its brutal roughness and race-altering conditions. If history is any indicator, the demanding terrain will shake up the standings and test both machines and riders to their limits. Expect another weekend where anything can happen.
