San Bernardino, Calif. ~ A full season of AMSOIL Championship Off-Road presented by Brunt Workwear came down to one final night under the bright lights of Glen Helen Raceway. Championships remained wide open in five of the seven Pro classes, and after what happened Friday night, nothing felt secure.

PRO4 was wild. PRO SPEC was equally unpredictable. PRO2 nearly took the lid off the place. On Saturday the points were tighter, the pressure was higher and there was nowhere left on the schedule to recover.

And then there’s Glen Helen. Gnarly, rough and constantly changing, the Southern California track had already proven it was more than willing to fight back. One mistake can erase a season’s worth of work. One pass can decide a championship.

No more tomorrow. No more next round. One final night. Seven Pro classes. Five championships still hanging in the balance.

Henderson Top Driver in PRO4 as Anderson Sweeps Glen Helen

There were storylines everywhere heading into the final PRO4 race of 2026. Could CJ Greaves pull off the improbable and upset Jimmy Henderson’s championship run? Could RJ Anderson complete a hometown sweep? And how would the legendary Johnny Greaves close an illustrious career in his final drive?

CJ Greaves went after the first question immediately. His championship scenario was daunting—win, collect the halfway bonus and have Henderson finish last—but Greaves did his part early, vaulting into the lead and controlling the race through the opening half. His title hopes disappeared on lap 11 when his truck stalled, allowing much of the field to sweep past.

That put Friday winner Anderson back into contention, but the hometown favorite had his hands full with a vintage charge from the “Wildman” Adrian Cenni. The two went door-to-door in a throwback PRO4 battle until the final lap, when Cenni tried to duck underneath Anderson, caught a rut and flipped. Anderson stayed upright and drove to the win, completing the Glen Helen sweep in front of his hometown crowd.

“I have to admit, I wasn’t my best today,” said Anderson. “There were a few instances out there I got a bit sketchy. Then I got into the battle with the Wildman. But we ended up persevering. These are my hometown fans out here. My people. So, woooo!”

Mickey Thomas had a comeback of his own. Third in points entering the finale, Thomas ran second early before a spin sent him toward the back. He charged through the field to finish second, giving him runner-up finishes on both nights at Glen Helen.

While the race unfolded around him, Henderson executed his championship plan with patience. He elected to start last, stayed out of the early chaos and even declined an opportunity to engage Johnny Greaves as the field began to spread out. By the final lap, Henderson had worked his way to fourth.

Then came his one aggressive move. Henderson worked around CJ Greaves and the lapped truck of Cenni in the final turn, taking third at the checkers and putting a podium finish on the first PRO4 championship of his career.

“This means so much to me,” said Henderson. “It is everything this team has done. Through every mistake we made, here we are. We pulled through it. This is what a points championship is about. The entire team working together.”

CJ Greaves finished fourth and closed the season 17 points behind Henderson. Thomas ended the year just four points behind Greaves in third, bringing one of the tightest championship fights of the season to a fitting conclusion under the lights at Glen Helen.

Win Propels Beat to PRO2 Title

Ryan Beat entered Saturday night with a 17-point advantage over Johnny Holtger and a PRO2 championship within reach. Rather than play it safe, Beat put an exclamation point on the season.

The battle stayed tight throughout the first half, with Ricky Gutierrez and Holtger swapping positions behind Beat while keeping the leader within reach. Beat stayed clean out front, but after the mid-race restart, Friday winner Cole Mamer came charging.

Mamer restarted fourth and immediately went to work, going door-to-door with Holtger and Gutierrez before moving onto Beat’s rear bumper within a matter of turns. The two battled side-by-side for the lead, but Mamer briefly went off track with two laps remaining, giving Beat the breathing room he needed.

Beat drove away from there, ending the season the same way he started it—with a win—and securing the 2026 PRO2 championship.

“I was crying the whole last lap,” said Beat. “I’ve raced this class for six years and I have four second places and a third. To finally bring it home means so much to me.”

Mamer capped an aggressive and impressive weekend with his second podium in as many nights, finishing second. With Holtger dropping out earlier, Ronnie Anderson moved into the final podium position and held off newly crowned Supercross champion Ken Roczen over the final lap to finish third.

Championship in Hand, Barry Sweeps PRO LITE 

Connor Barry clinched the PRO LITE championship Friday night, but he still had one goal left for Saturday: put an exclamation point on the season. Mission accomplished.

After earning the top qualifying spot, Barry came out swinging. Madix Bailey grabbed the holeshot, but pushed wide just a few turns later, allowing Barry to duck underneath and take the lead. From there, the newly crowned champion drove away from the field, completing the Glen Helen weekend sweep and earning his fourth win in the final five rounds.

“The goal out here was to just go out and win,” said Barry. “There were some games played out there, and not sure what that was all about, but we went out and smoked ’em and got it done.”

The opening half was herky-jerky, with two major crashes and Joey Maciosek stalling on the parade lap. Maciosek was able to refire and join the race, then steadily worked his way forward. By the halfway mark, he pushed past Bailey into second and held the spot for his eighth podium in the past nine rounds.

Bailey finished third, completing an impressive season debut at Glen Helen with podium finishes on both nights.

Hemmer Holds of Van Den Elzen, Sweeps PRO SPEC as Visser Battles to Title

Three drivers entered Saturday night with a shot at the PRO SPEC championship. Nick Visser led Chris Van Den Elzen by 13 points, while Friday winner Avery Hemmer had closed to within 19. The equation for Visser was simple: finish fifth or better and the championship was his, regardless of what happened around him.

Getting there was anything but simple.

The opening laps were a slugfest, with trucks bouncing and battling across the rough Glen Helen track. Wesley Vande Voort slipped through to lead the opening lap before a broken wheel sent him to the hot pits. Van Den Elzen briefly inherited the top spot, but Visser attacked immediately and pushed his way into the lead. Then, on lap three, Hemmer sprinted past the championship contenders and took control.

From there, Hemmer left the bumping and grinding behind. Fresh off a maximum-points night on Friday, she drove away from the chaos and completed the weekend sweep, earning all 114 available points at Glen Helen.

“This weekend is definitely up there,” said Hemmer. “We had some ups and downs here last year, but this win helps make it better. Didn’t really make any mistakes out there and Chris ran it right to the end and I had to protect every corner.”

Behind her, the championship went all the way to the final turns. Defending champion Wyatt Miller worked his way past both Visser and Van Den Elzen and into second, complicating the title math even further. Van Den Elzen eventually moved back into second and finished roughly five feet behind Hemmer, meaning he needed Visser outside the top five to have a chance at the title.

Visser was sitting fifth on the final lap when Miller flipped, knocking him out of the race and moving Visser to fourth. That was more than enough to secure the 2026 PRO SPEC championship. Van Den Elzen finished second, while Ronald Kosciesza completed a remarkable charge from dead last, moving into third on the final lap to complete the podium.

Mason, Jr. Steals Late Win, Cole Bernloehr Captures PRO Buggy Title

The PRO Buggy championship between Cole Bernloehr and Tony Keepers came down to the final laps of the season, but Saturday’s race for the win turned into a West Coast versus Midwest showdown.

Jordan Bernloehr, the 2024 PRO Buggy champion, was a rocket from the start. The Midwest racer grabbed the early lead and held it nearly to the finish, but West Coast standout Dave Mason, Jr. never let him get away. The two stayed locked in a dogfight until a slight bobble by Bernloehr with two turns remaining gave Mason the opening he needed. Mason made the pass and held on by half a second for the win and his fourth podium of the season.

“I was just trying to see out there,” said Mason, Jr. “Jordan was running so hard, throwing dirt on me. He never made a mistake, and I had to push with everything I had.”

Behind them, Cole Bernloehr kept his focus on the bigger prize. Starting tenth, the points leader stayed clear of the crowded battle ahead and worked his way to seventh. Keepers needed to make up ground and did his part, getting around Ezra Ebberth and Friday winner Zachary Drapkin on lap 12 before catching the back of the lead battle and finishing third.

Keepers’ late charge wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit. Cole Bernloehr finished seventh and secured the 2026 PRO Buggy championship by 12 points over Keepers.

Bootle Clinches as Late Race Move Leads to Win

What looked like a lost cause became a championship opportunity for CJ Greaves on Friday night, when he cut a sizeable deficit to Jeb Bootle nearly in half. On Saturday, the roles quickly reversed.

Greaves bolted into the lead but slowed on the opening lap, opening the door for Ronnie Anderson to take control. Anderson set the pace with Cash LeCroy in pursuit for the next 11 laps. LeCroy eventually made his move underneath the leader, but contact sent Anderson onto his hood and completely reshuffled the race.

Bootle had started eighth and spent the first half running at a championship pace rather than forcing the issue. Anderson’s crash changed the equation, moving Bootle from third into the lead. From there, he held off every challenge, including a late green-white-checkered restart that put Augie Renezeder and Rodney VanEperen directly on his tail.

Bootle never flinched, driving to the season-finale victory and the 2026 PRO SxS championship as Greaves never returned to full power and dropped to ninth on the final lap.

“We were pushed back to eighth or something back there, so it was just patience,” said Bootle. “I told my crew after last night that I just wanted to bring this car back in one piece. It takes an army and I am so blessed to finally get this championship.”

Renezeder backed up a strong Friday night with a charge through the field to finish second, earning his first career Championship Off-Road podium. Rodney VanEperen followed in third, delivering CFMOTO its first-ever PRO SxS podium with the team’s new machine.

PRO STOCK SxS Sweep for Champion Kirchmeier

Cross Kirchmeier finished the season the same way he started it—with a weekend sweep. After clinching the PRO STOCK SxS title Friday night, Kirchmeier entered Saturday with nothing left to protect and one thing left to accomplish: finish his championship season with another win.

Kirchmeier put an exclamation point on the year, pairing a dialed-in car with a championship-winning drive to lead wire-to-wire for his second victory of the weekend and sixth of the season.

“I really, really wanted to win,” said Kirchmeier. “I wanted to go out on a win. If something happens, it doesn’t matter. I could go as hard as I wanted.”

Round thirteen winner Brody Sands never let Kirchmeier relax, staying on his rear bumper lap after lap before finishing just .785 seconds behind in second. Sands had pressure of his own from Jeb Bootle, holding him off by half a second at the line.

Bootle rebounded from a tough Friday, working clear of David Gay late and finishing third to close out the 2026 season on the podium.
