Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Colton Haaker clinched runner-up at Round 6 of the AMA U.S. Hard Enduro Series, marking his third Pro class podium of the season. The Silver Kings Hard Enduro in Kellogg, Idaho, challenged Haaker for nearly three hours. 
 
He settled into second early in the race and held the spot until the checkered flag, keeping close tabs on the leader throughout. Despite the challenging terrain, he finished just 38 seconds behind the leader and pulled a large gap on the third place finisher. 
 
“We did a three hour race; they kind of told us it would be about six hours,” Haaker said. “It ended up being a little bit less, but had a good battle. There was lots of pushing. A couple moments I didn't know really if I was going to get out of, but ultimately the bike worked great. I kept it majority on two wheels and came away with a second, just right behind first place. So overall, it was a good day, but I really, really would have liked that top spot. Congrats to my competitor who beat me, but you know we'll put it together for the next one and come back swinging.”
 
Husqvarna-mounted rider Daniel Lewis scored a top five finish at the event. Other Husqvarna riders Cory Graffunder and Kyle Tapio rounded out the top 10, taking seventh and ninth, respectively.
