Video Transcript
And it all starts in 2026 right here.
As we see also 17 now, Caden Prescorn has moved to third, but the gate picks Oh, and a rider- Whoa down in the sand.
And Kellogg smells blood in the water.
Yeah, absolutely, Benjamin tucked that front end just a bit.
Man, there's the jet.
He sees it, tries to take advantage, goes around the outside right now, Zach.
Does he have the momentum?
Can he beat him to the inside line?
Oh, tags control the line.
What's Moya gonna be able to do?
Kellogg puts his way into the lead as he enters the 10 Commandments.
Final time into- Yeah the Bermuda Triangle.
Jet Kellogg, like we said, ate the Wheaties this morning- and it pays off, brings out the first checkered flag of the 45th annual Monster Energy Lorettas Amateur Motocross National.
Suspension and engine, then look at this, problems for one of our front runners early.
That is so frustrating, especially here on lap number one, because look at this, riders blowing by him now as Wisdom might've made the pass happen this time through the Ten Commandments.
He went down early, but refuses to take it as a sign of defeat.
And now a mistake from Peterson.
Now we're looking at a four-ride battle for the front running spot.
I'm telling you right now, you better keep your eyes, your eyes peeled on to number 29.
Well, here we go, into the Bermuda Triangle one more time.
Looks like he's gonna get out clean and clear.
There it is, Brandon Haas, the number 1 finishing up in position number one.
But Jaden Smart is the man of the hour as Zach, take us home, babe.
Here we go one more time through the Bermuda Triangle.
Let's see, he's gonna check up, let these lappers do what they need to do.
Yeah, you guys gonna have one more lap.
There it is.
Enjoy it.
There it is, checkered flag comes out.
Jaden Smart starts the weekend off just like he planned it.
We can't tune away here.
Look at this, one, two, three, four and five riders all in a battle into the Thor Sand Sweeper.
Just like the gaggle of geese over there in that sand sweeper turn, they're fighting tooth and nail for position.
Look, four wide, three wide.
Oh.
Oh.
Jumps the rut and says, "You know what?
I'm gonna make the best of it."
Your winner of this moto number one here in 125C race number four, I'm gonna give it up, not Cole Trickle, it's Cole Crinkle.
And already starting to try to break away, Fluhart.
A solid start here in this one.
Like we said, a couple of big- Oh!
Notables.
Oh- And a big crash big tumble right there.
I mean, a big digger.
Oh, and look at this.
Was that your leader?
Oh, no.
Wait a second.
Fluhart- That's him down into the sand section- Oh with less than half a lap left to go, an absolute heartbreak.
One more time through, both legs off the pegs- Whoa once again, final lap, white flag, turn it into checkers and how about it?
Buck- Buck Wild, Buckman gets the job done here in moto number one and- One rider going for a flip.
You've got one more turn before you lock down a moto win here in this plus 40 class.
Shorty made it look way easier than it is.
It is not as easy as he made it look there, folks.
All right, first turn action, hole shot, Enrique Rodriguez out of Guadalajara, Mexico.
How about that?
All right, Enrique, can you hold on on that number 59 machine?
I think it's already been handed off.
Yamaha rider right there in the mix.
And there's your leader to the right, and that's second, third, fourth, fifth on screen.
The number 14 just behind him here.
Oh.
Oh.
Tough break for him.
Oh.
Problems galore.
Are you kidding me?
What happened?
Time has expired.
Right on time is the 15 machine.
Joseph McCary gonna get the moto one win here in mini senior two.
They're off.
Here we go.
Let's get through the first turn.
Wow.
Oh.
Oh, that guy just sawed three wheels off.
That was- Took the hard right, aggressive.
Look at this, three wide through the Commandments.
Fourth and fifth- Look at this right there as well.
My gosh.
How about it?
19 machine, Easton Edgar able to rocket himself all the way up to the top spot.
Corvall around the inside though.
Oh, blows his feet off as he exits the corner.
Who has now moved into the number two spot.
Oh, no, and our third place rider.
Goes down.
That was- Aiden Corvall down.
That we have several of these motos have worked out just like that from short to McCary.
Oh, look at this.
Oh, oh, oh.
It's your leader.
Is that our leader?
Oh, that was your second place.
Second place.
That was Schweiger.
Ooh, there's somebody down.
Oh, man.
It's him.
This is what happens.
We're five minutes from the, the finish here.
That's the 48 on the deck.
Oh, no.
And that is Jack Ca- Cadlow as the checkered flag comes out for your winner, Easton Edgar.
Congratulations, young man.
Oh, he pumped.
Fist in the air, he rode the wheels off of that thing here in this one.
There it is.
There is the pass, I think.
Oh, he's gonna fight back, 57.
Oh.
Turner.
Turner had the preferred line there on the inside.
You know if he's fit, and he is definitely fit, 'cause here he comes again to challenge on the inside.
Oh, what a turn.
Stands it up.
Beautiful.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, side by side, wheel to wheel, teammate on teammate.
But all eyes here on the Club MX Yamaha Fly Racing ride, the number 31 rider, Malinoski, welcome to the top step, the checkered flag.
The moto win is yours, sir.
I- I tell you, I saw some early contact back there, Kevin, but everybody clean so far.
Darren Pine's gonna be credited with the hole shot here, 250 Limited.
Oh!
Rider down.
Oh.
Who is that?
That rider took a little tumble.
That was the number 15.
Could be the 15.
That's Bam Bam.
Top five right now, halfway point in this one right now.
Pine, Hacker, Stagg, Fazio, Hawkridge, one, two, three, four, five.
Whoa, rider down.
Sorry.
Whoa, who was that?
Sorry about that.
Is that Hawk?

Could've been the cowboy, Jacob Hawk.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
He done laid the pine wood.
He has, as here he goes to take the checkers.
Darren Pine.
250b Limited moto one winner, Darren Pine taking it.
Right outside the window, I see the number 13.
That is Talan Rogers, and he has got a handful.
Here comes Levi Letty around the outside.
Well, the best in this one, checkers are out, is gonna be Levi Letty.
Good job, Bren.
The 217s back to back on the last two laps, and that was enough to hold off Berning, who was digging.
Revs are up.
The revs are up, the gate is down.
It's time to go to work, boys, and here they come as they rifle down the land rush.
Down into the first turn and somebody with a- Nice sweep right there awesome start.
It's gonna be Rodriguez.
K-Dub is gonna be line choice right here to make it up into the Ten Commandments.
Oh, Steinbrecher chops that turn in half.
That looked like a- That looked like a Carmichael move or a Bubba move.
That was out there.
He, he didn't s- That was sick he didn't stick to the inside, he didn't stick to the outside.
He went outside and cut across the ruts.
Mason Murdy on that number 30.
He turned a 201.3, still sitting in that third position, 201.2 as they- Oh, look at this.
Look at this.
Here we go.
And inside.
Oh, boy.
Bada boom, bada bing, that's the old hat trick right there.
Now can Vicari respond?
Vicari hit a pretty big po- oh.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Vicari is down.
The dog days of summer.
Back up.
Steinbrecher did his work.
Did his work.
Danny Lewis and the boys over there got to be pretty happy right now.
He's got the start.
It's a Kawasaki.
Oh, sideways.
Did he ride it out?
No, he goes down.
Oh.
And a heat.
Tough break for Steve Mages on the 73 Kawasaki machine.
Yeah.
The Ohio native with a good start, but not for long.
It was good till it wasn't.
Two with Haas and Nicoletti on screen just behind the pass coming from Zach Osborne.
Oh, yeah, there it goes.
Did it.
Got it right.
Well, for the moment.
Weimer gonna fight, fight all you wa- oh.
Okay.
Wow.
Disrespectful.
Yeah, that was Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Hey, I'm the champion here, dog.
Swag, dude.
Zach Osborne throwing it as he makes the pass for the lead now.
Up and over the wall jump they go, and it's gonna be Zach Os, the big 16 machine, in his return to the ranch, starting things off with a win.
Moynahan or Brown.
Flame that door.
Switched the lineup right in front of Brown.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh, Brown around the outside, and he gets it done the long way.
How about that?
Rarely do you see that, but here comes Moynahan gonna try to retaliate on the inside.
Look at this.
Switches up.
Awesome.
Wow.
Look.
Crossed him up again.
Brown protecting the inside here.
Moynahan got the preferred line, though.
Hey, hey, I've s- I've been- Too fast I've been passed around the outside, I'll pass around the outside.
How you about, how you, what do you think about that?
Oh, whoa!
Oh, as they almost come together.
How about that?
Oh, what a battle.
The outside's not gonna work right here, I don't believe.
He's got two lappers to take this thing home.
Took about 10 laps to settle the score here, but Gage Brown is going to walk away with the first moto.
And buddy, that was one for the ages.
That was a great race.
The, the riding style, no different.
Uh-oh, yellow flag, we lost one of our KQ riders.
Oh, a couple more riders going down there.
Looks like that might be the 38- 38 of Dallas Avery.
Yeah.
And there's the number 11 one more time around for Ezra balk-Yost.
Welcome back to the ranch.
You are a moto winner.
It's only been 35 years in between motos probably, or more.
There's the 49 on screen of Harrison working his way through some lap traffic.
Checkers are out.
Kevin Kelly, Brennan Harrison absolutely dominated that one.
Welcome to the dance.
Brennan Harrison is absolutely elated.
They're gonna learn the full experience of the national championship right here.
That jump right here, that is a big one.
Full send.
Full send.
And he's not playing.
He's out front.
Schwager now.
Checkered flag is out.
This kid's pretty tough.
Landen Schwager- Winner is gonna take the moto win.
Now the reds are up and Gate is down in the women's class.
Atloretta, she's out front, but the battle is on right now.
Piper Belle, who's been hovering around that podium area at the professional level, on the 67 looking to take the lead from Hodges.
Once Belle made the move on Hodges, Hodges has not let her go, and now you've got Herrick right there.
Three rider battle.
Herrick's gonna split them through the middle.
Can she get them both?
Hodges has retaken the lead from Belle.
Herrick to second.
Belle's gonna go back to third.
Herrick's not done, Sophie.
She's going for the pass.
She is.
You can see her on the outside here of Hannah.
And now the beautiful thing right there is that that gives her the inside line on this corner so she can complete that pass.
Set up very well by Maila.
She's young, but she is smart.
Hannah Hodges gonna rail the outside, try to get it back.
Oh!
Oh.
And almost lost it right there.
Uh-oh, she's down.
Wait a minute, is that Herrick the leader?
That is.
It is.
The leader has crashed, is trying to pick the bike up.
Well, Hodges, how far back was she?
Har- Third how far back was Jarvis?
30 seconds was Hannah Hodges, so let's see what happens as timing and scoring catches up, but man, another unfortunate mistake for Maila Herrick.
And she said she learns a lot from being around a more experienced rider like- Oh, no!
She is down again.
That is Herrick.
Oh, no.
You saw it, K-Dub, and is she even gonna be able to get back up?
She had that big lead, about 20 seconds last lap.
Finally, yeah.
Where's Jarvis?
Unbelievable, this is what you see at Loretta's, man.
You, no leader cannot take anything for granted.
There is Jarvis.
And Jarvis is going into the Ten Commandments here.
Same thing with Jarvis.
Whoa.
Whoa, Jarvis almost took a ride there.
You call that for a You call that- Yeah it almost got Jarvis.
As look at this, we are side by side.
Last lap battle for the lead.
You're looking at the 23 in red and the 30 in blue.
Herrick, a crash.
I don't think she's 100%.
Jarvis has got two turns to try to make the pass for the win.
And lappers.
And lappers, we can't forget about those.
We have the sand corner and the Bermuda Triangle.
This could go anywhere from here.
How about Herrick digging deep, not wanting to give in?
One turn away.
Jarvis on the outside's gotta grease this corner.
Square her up.
She did square her up.
Side by side at the finish.
Wow.
Herrick holds on by one- .1.
Yeah, .155 seconds.
Unreal battle.
Make it before this moto starts, is it's rumored now that, these kids- Oh, we had a big flip there.
Looks like everybody's okay, but stacked onto the motorcycle.
Did the old nose wheelie.
That was Gavin Giomi, who's now back in last place.
That's 42nd.
Oh, and more contact, and another rider down in the sand.
Number 91, that's gonna be, Reed Cohn.
What will the rest of the week hold for him?
Find out about that later.
We know this, moto number one goes to Easton Graves on the 31.
This is that class for the guy that's 18 to 24.
He's not 25, so he doesn't have a pl- he can't ride plus 25.
Right.
Has one bike.
He can ride 18 to 24.
He could ride the 450B as well, or 450- Oh, what a slide out.
Whoa.
No, he did not save that.
Blake Thomas with that 2:02.
Ruth with a two-minute flat.
That's what has pushed him up to- Here they come by the tower.
They're gonna be side by side as they fly by.
He goes for it.
He got posterized.
He flew right past him, Kevin.
That was the triple I was talking about one lap prior where, our leader Thomas just was not jumping.
Oh, and now Thomas down.
Oh, wow.
Baseball slide over there for our leader.
I don't even think he lost a spot.
Nah, he gets right back up on there.
There is your winner.
Moto one in the books.
It is Devin Ruth.
We're underway with the, four to six limited class as we round out the final motos of the day.
Cruz Galvin out front changing in a hurry.
Yes, it is.
Yeah.
Oh, rider down in the 10 commandment.
Man, that's a couple.
Almost Yeah, almost causes another one.
Yep.
It is.
Checkered flag is out.
Cruz Galvin taking the win.
A nice fist pump there, too, and a wheelie.
Yo, pulling a wheelie on an auto clutch.
That in a seven to eight class, we already know who the superstar riders are, but it's kind of the drill at, Loretta's.
Yeah, he's Cobra Elite for sure.
He's showing you why.
It'd be fun to watch Robert Fender, see what he can do on a 65, but he's definitely got the 50 figured out.
Checkered flag is out.
Wow, one rider stepping up and almost pulling a back flip on commandment number five.
Looks like that's gonna be the number 34 machine.
That's our third place rider, or he was.
Oh, no.
Oh.
Perry with problems and was trying to regain, reenter the track safely, now caught up in the powder berm.
Where anything can happen.
And does happen, as look at this, the back end dancing around for your leader.
Wow.
He has to back it down.
He's got a lap rider just in front of him.
You see him taking a glance over.
He knows Deining is right there.
Less than two bike lengths separate the four to six shaft drive lead.
One corner left to go, and it's a drag race now.
The checkered flag's flying, but who's gonna get it?
And it looks like it will be Anthony Pugliese Jr.
Hanging on to it.
Haiden Deining less than a second behind.
And let's take a look at this now.
This is your micro E class, the silent assassins, as we like to call them.
The new electric technology, and a lot of these riders at this age have grown up with these electric bike technologies.
So if some of our older riders that maybe jump onto a different machine say it takes a little time to adjust, these kids, this is what they've become accustomed to.
Look at this.
He hangs onto it, shuts the haters down, and Wade Lloyd gonna break out a moto win here for race number one.
Gus Weissmeyer in the number two spot.
