Not one to sit idly by in defeat, Ken rebounded at round two at Hangtown, the final California round. He dominated both motos, passing Dungey on the way to establishing himself as the man to beat in this series. This was the last race we'd see Ken not sporting the red plate of the points leader.

Next to Muddy Creek Raceway for the Tennessee National, where Ken would begin a mid-season run of wins that put his competition on the mental ropes of defeat. Dungey actually traded wins with Ken in the motos, but Ken's 2-1 would give him the overall yet again.

Round six, the halfway point. Red Bud played host to what was arguably Ken's best ride of the entire year, a race where he would pass and pull away from Dungey, Trey Canard, and Eli Tomac in two near-perfect, championship-worthy performances.

Spring Creek was the first serious emergence of Eli Tomac, the spoiler of the series. He missed the first four rounds with a broken collarbone, but had finished on the podium at each race since. At Spring Creek, he dominated both motos, catching and passing Ken in the process. Ken actually finished in fourth in moto two, taking third overall on the day behind Tomac and Dungey.

At the final round in Utah, all Ken had to do was ride it home and stay on two wheels. He did it, and now he is the champion. Congrats Kenny on an epic season.
