Russell Bobbitt kept his championship hopes alive with a win in the rocks at round nine of the Rekluse/AMA National Enduro Series in Noble, Maine, spoiling Charlie Mullins’ chances of wrapping up the series title early. With one round left on the schedule, Mullins came into the Maine event with a five-race win streak and a healthy 29-point lead in the standings, and another win would have given him an insurmountable lead in the title chase. However, the Obermeyer/Am Pro/FMF Yamaha rider struggled with the dry and rocky terrain in Maine while Bobbitt thrived in it. In the end, Bobbitt walked away with his first win of the season while Mullins ended the day in fifth. Mullins still has the inside track towards his first national enduro title, needing only an eighth place finish at the series finale in Indiana to get the job done.O/A
