Trystan Hart won the second round of the 2026 AMA EnduroCross Championship at Nampa’s Ford Idaho Center on October 17. His 1-2-1 finishes put him ahead of Jonny Walker and Ryder LeBlond on the night, setting up an intriguing third round in Everett, Washington, on October 24. [1]
The decisive third moto began with Hart and Walker level in the overall scoring. Walker led early, but a crash in the matrix section on lap three allowed Hart through. LeBlond followed and kept the pressure on to the finish, crossing the line 1.460 seconds behind Hart. Walker recovered to fourth in that moto and second overall; LeBlond completed the overall podium.

Walker remains first in the championship with 47 points. LeBlond is second on 42, followed by Hart on 40 and Cooper Abbott on 38. The distinction matters: Hart took the event victory, but Walker leaves Idaho with the season lead. A single strong night has put Hart closer to the front without erasing the work still ahead. [1]
A response to the opener
The opening round in Las Vegas explains why Nampa was important for Hart. Walker won at the Orleans Arena on October 3, taking the overall from LeBlond on the final-moto tiebreaker after both riders finished with six points. Abbott was third. Hart’s opener ended with a seventh overall after a third-moto disqualification for prohibited on-track assistance, according to the organizer’s official report. Nampa supplied a much cleaner set of results and a direct response to that difficult start. [2]
Everett now marks the midpoint of the six-round season. Angel of the Winds Arena hosts round three on October 24, followed by Salt Lake City’s Maverik Center on November 7. The championship closes at the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls with rounds on consecutive nights, November 13 and 14. The organizer describes that format as the first back-to-back, two-night championship finale in series history. [3]
That compact finish gives the next race added significance. With only three rounds scheduled after Everett, riders cannot count on a long run of later events to recover lost points. The immediate question is whether Hart can repeat his Nampa consistency while Walker and LeBlond protect the positions they have built through the opening two stops. [3]
