As round five got underway it was AmPro Yamaha’s Ricky Russell grabbing the $250 All Balls Racing XC1 holeshot award and heading into the woods first. FMF/KTM Factory Racing's Kailub Russell maintained a sizable lead throughout the entire race, with Rockstar Energy/Factory Husqvarna Racing’s Thad Duvall trying to apply the pressure throughout the race as well. At the start of the race Toth would find himself in third as the riders came around on the opening lap. Toth would settle into his third overall position and maintain his speed. 

Coming through first in the XC2 250 Pro class and fifth overall was Trail Jesters KTM’s Ben Kelley. Even though Kelley did not get a great jump off the line, he managed to move through the pack by the time they reached the finish line on the opening lap. Coastal Racing/Husqvarna’s Craig Delong made his return to the podium, finishing second in class, after breaking his collarbone right before round one. Delong was a man on the move during the X-Factor Whitetails afternoon race. 

In the FMF XC3 125 Pro-Am class it was Trail Jesters KTM’s Jesse Ansley leading the race from the time the green flag flew as he took the $100 holeshot award, until the checkers were flying at the finish line. Factory Beta USA’s Cody Barnes came through second, even after having to stop at his pits to have his exhaust changed out from a crash earlier in the lap. Lojak Cycle Sales’ Chase Colville made his first appearance on the XC3 podium. Colville has been steadily working his way through the pack and is aiming to continue pushing forward.
