Ryan Sipes kicked off the second half of the Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro Series with a wild, come-from-behind win at the LLR Sprint Enduro in Clarion, Pennsylvania. Sipes sat fifth after Saturday’s competition, while Josh Strang and Broc Hepler battled over the top spot. On Sunday, however, Sipes turned up the heat, winning three of six tests to take the overall victory by 12 seconds over Steward Baylor, with Josh Strang in third.
