| A Couple of Top Five Finishes in Alabama Mud
At the 2026 Talladega GNCC, the Liqui Moly Factory Beta team navigated a race of attrition through Alabama mud that reached “skid-plate depth.” Veteran Josh Strang led the team with a strong race, securing 4th overall and 4th in the XC1 Open Pro class, which has propelled him to 8th in the points standings. Cody Barnes overcame an issue early on in the race to salvage a gritty 9th-place finish in the XC1 class. In the XC2 250 Pro division, Jhak Walker secured a 4th-place class finish in brutal conditions, maintaining a slim one-point lead over Brody Johnson for 2nd place in the XC2 season standings. |
