Steward Baylor took control of the series point lead in the Kenda AMA National Enduro Series with a come-from-behind win at this weekend’s John Zink National Enduro in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Steward’s brother, Grant, accompanied him on the podium in second, making it a family affair. Photographer Shan Moore was on hand to capture all the action.
