From ISRT / MX4Christ Kawasaki Race Team
The ISRT Kawasaki team rolled into Empower Field at Mile High—home of the Denver Broncos—ready for a
high-altitude showdown in Round 16 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.
Friday: Pulp MX Privateer Challenge
Before the main event on Saturday, Logan Leitzel and Bubba Pauli lined up for the fan-favorite Pulp MX LCQ
Challenge , a unique privateer-only race with a hefty prize purse and streamed live on VurbMoto’s YouTube
channel—drawing over 42,000 viewers. The event featured a two-moto format: a traditional gate drop in
Moto 1 and a staggered start in Moto 2, inverted based on the finishing order of the first race. When the
checkers flew and the scores were tallied, Bubba Pauli came away with a 17th overall, while Logan Leitzel
landed in 19th.
Saturday: The Main Show Brings Ups and Downs
Race day brought its share of highs and heartbreaks for the ISRT crew.
● Bubba Pauli narrowly missed qualifying for the night show, falling just a few spots short. With one round
left, he’s focused on regrouping and closing the season strong in Salt Lake City.
● Logan Leitzel put in a solid effort in qualifying, posting the 36th fastest time. He went on to finish 16th in
his heat, sending him to the LCQ. Unfortunately, a crash ended his night early, cutting his main event hopes
short.
● Freddie Noren was the highlight of the weekend for the team. After qualifying 21st, Freddie rocketed out
of the gate in his heat and held strong in 6th before a late-race pass dropped him to 7th—still one of his best
heat finishes of the year. In the main event, Freddie stayed consistent and crossed the line in 15th, marking
one of his top results of the season.
With just one round remaining, the ISRT Kawasaki squad has its sights set on a strong finish in Salt Lake City.
It’s been a season full of challenges, but the team is ready to dig deep and finish on a high note.
