When they came around for lap two, Harper had taken over the lead, and Collins had made the jump up to second. On lap three, Harper would pull away as Hunter and Elioff would both overtake Collins and bump her back to the fourth position.

When the checkered flag flew, Harper would come in to take her sixth win of the season, while Hunter would finish in second, and Elioff in third. With Harper’s win, she extended her points lead and now holds a 24-point advantage over Hunter, who sits in second.

With Saturday’s adult racing in the books, the action continued on Sunday as the women's bike racers lined up to compete.

Rockstar Energy Factory Husqvarna Racing’s Korie Steede would grab the holeshot and lead the way, followed by Am Pro Yamaha’s Danielle McDonald, who would come in just two seconds behind Steede.

Two seconds behind her would be FMF KTM Factory Racing Lander’s Brandy Richards in her return to GNCC racing after an injury.

On the second lap, McDonald would come through right on Steede’s back tire. From there, McDonald was able to grab the lead on the third lap while Steede dropped down to fourth.

On the last lap however, Steede was able to regain the lead and grabbed her fourth win of the 2025 season. Richards would end up second, and McDonald would settle on a third for the day.

In the Women’s class, Megan Davis made her way up from third on the first lap to take the win, while Zoey Kimble ran a consistent race to take second on the day.
