Newly-crowned NE Pro Women’s Champion Korie Steede continued her convincing run of results at Round 8 of the American National Enduro Championship (ANEC) in West Virginia over the weekend, with the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing pilot claiming an eighth-consecutive victory at the Burning Rock National Enduro.

American National Enduro Championship – Round 8

Equipped with the Husqvarna FC 250 Factory Edition, Steede arrived in West Virginia looking to continue her unbeaten run in the NE Pro Women’s category after wrapping up the class championship at the previous event.

Victory in Saturday’s Super Test was followed by wins in the opening four tests on Sunday, before podium speed in the final two outings saw her claim an eighth victory of the season in technical conditions.

One round remains in the 2026 ANEC season, with the Bob Reese Memorial National Enduro set to take place in Geneseo, Illinois, on October 31-November 1 – where Korie will be aiming to complete what has been a perfect run of results to date.
 
“The first three tests here, I found a good flow – I was gelling with the course,” reflected Steede. “Test five kind of bit me as I was stuck on a hill for around a minute, so I saw my gap evaporate before closing in again. But all-in-all it was a solid day, I did have a couple crashes and mistakes, but I’m glad to come away with another win!”

Round 8 marked a consistent outing for NE Pro1 contender Craig DeLong, who secured fifth in class aboard his Husqvarna FX 350 after recording P5 finishes in five of the six tests.

“It was a tough one here at Round 8!” said DeLong. “I struggled to stay off the ground at the start, but over the course of the event we made some good adjustments, and I felt better and better. I just need to work on myself and get better – the track was slick here and was a pretty nice ride.”

West Hare Scrambles – Round 7

Also in action over the weekend was two-time West Hare Scrambles (WHS) Pro Class Champion Mateo Oliveira, who recently wrapped up his second title at the previous round in Washington.

The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider got off to a strong start at the season-finale Rocky Mountain Hare Scramble in Colorado, holding the race lead for the opening four laps aboard his Husqvarna FE 450.

A crash while out front, however, led to a technical issue that forced the 24-year-old out of the race, with Oliveira eventually credited 35th position. In his first season with the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna team, he has successfully defended his WHS Pro Class crown – earning victories at Rounds 3 and 4, while scoring P2 results on a further four occasions.

"I got a good start at the finale and was feeling good while figuring out the track," commented Oliveira. "I was letting both the circuit and race come to me and had a decent flow before having a pretty big crash, which allowed Zane [Roberts] to close in. I knew it was going to be hard for him to pass, so I tried to regroup and breathe. Through the pit stops, we managed to open up a little gap, and then I tucked the front-end and had a small issue from what. It's part of racing, but I actually felt really good, and the track was cool – I'm pretty thankful we did a lot of good work at the beginning of the year!"
