The 2025 Challenge of the Americas wrapped up its season with an action-packed doubleheader at Burt Brothers Motorpark in Utah under sweltering 90-degree heat. Saturday saw standout performances from Chase Hand, who won the 100cc Senior race after Keagan Kaminski received a jump-start penalty, and Payton Anderson, who delivered a dominant, wire-to-wire win in 100cc Junior. Nolan Gagnon and Michael Faker claimed clear victories in the Shifter categories, while Luis Martinez extended his win streak in 60cc Cadet. Kingston Deamer stole the Briggs 206 Shootout heat in a final-lap thriller while Scott Falcone was the class of the Masters field. On Sunday, Kaminski bounced back to take the 100cc Senior win and clinch the series championship, while Popescu and Mann captured Junior and Masters wins, respectively. Tarango executed a masterful final-lap move to win in Cadet, and Grote inherited victory in the 206 Shootout after a penalty to Ruess. With six champions crowned, the series looks ahead to its 19th season in 2026. Faker and Gagnon doubled up in the shifter categories.
