Three additional riders also qualified for the X Games Enduro X during the Daytona GEICO EnduroCross opener in Daytona Beach, Florida this past weekend. Factory Beta’s Kyle Redmond earned a spot with a third-place finish in the main. Kevin Rookstool was the second rider to earn an invite to X Games Austin with an eighth-place finish during a weekend in which he raced EnduroCross on Friday, Supercross on Saturday and the GNCC on Sunday. And the third rider to qualify was sixteen-year-old Ty Cullins, who won his heat race to make the main during his first pro EnduroCross race.
Three more riders will qualify for X Games Enduro X at each of the two upcoming GEICO EnduroCross events in Salt Lake City, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada.
