Successfully fending off the challenge, Kelley would power his KTM 350 XC-F to the Camp Coker Bullet round victory and took control of the 2025 championship lead leaving the fourth round.

Ben Kelley: "I don’t think a comfortable win is going to happen anymore. This is probably the best I have ever rode here, and in the past if I rode like that, I could win by a few minutes. Not a chance anymore! The guys behind me were ripping, but I felt so good and the bike felt so good. I made some aggressive passes at the start there, which were really important. We earned this one, myself and the team, and I am so stoked for everyone that supports me.”

FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers' defending XC2 250 Pro Champion Davis kept the riders at the front of the field on their toes throughout the six-lap, three-hour encounter, bringing his KTM 250 XC-F home for the XC2 Pro 250 Class win and P3 on the podium overall.

Grant Davis: "I got off to a decent start and just tried to go as fast as I could, honestly. I got in tow with the XC1 boys there, tried to chase them down and got close, and ended up third overall. I crashed a few times on the last lap, but overall, I’m pumped on my ride and keen to keep the ball rolling and try to get the overall victory at the next one.”

Following closely behind Davis was XC2 250 Pro Class teammate Angus Riordan, who shadowed his teammate onboard his KTM 250 XC-F, coming home in second place in class.

Angus Riordan: "I had Cody [Barnes] breathing down my neck the whole race – I just couldn’t shake him! He got around me on the last lap, right in front of my brother and family, which was a bit embarrassing, so I thought, ‘I’d better get going,’ and managed to make a move, but otherwise for me it was a pretty smooth race.”

Defending GNCC Series Champion and Round 2 winner Johnny Girroir encountered a challenging day out at the Camp Coker GNCC, recording a DNF result in the XC1 Open Pro Class, retiring his KTM 350 XC-F after unfortunately crashing in the early stages of the race.

Additionally, FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers’ Brandy Richards experienced a heavy fall at the Camp Coker round, with the WXC Class contender sustaining injuries that ruled her out for the remainder of the weekend. Additional information on Brandy's condition will be made available in due course.
