Unstoppable Heat, Unbelievable Records: XDA 2025 Bike Fest Delivers

The 2025 XDA Bike Fest exploded onto the scene, unleashing an onslaught of speed, spectacle, and sheer adrenaline. From the roar of machines launching off the line to jaw-dropping record runs, this year’s showdown had it all—proving once again why “unstoppable” and “unbelievable records” are far more than just headlines—they’re the XDA reality.

Orient Express Racing Pro Street

Winner – Mark Rendeluk
Runner-up – Justin Shakir

Rendeluk Strikes Gold in Pro Street Showdown at WPGC Bike Fest

The Orient Express Racing Pro Street class brought next-level horsepower and heart-pounding drama to the WPGC Bike Fest at Maryland International Raceway. With a brutal 109-degree heat index beating down, expectations were low for big numbers—but the tuners and teams had other plans. What unfolded was one of the most thrilling Pro Street battles of the year.

Eighteen of the baddest turbocharged and supercharged bikes on the planet showed up—and seventeen of them ran 6-second passes during qualifying. That’s right—seventeen. The top of the sheet was pure insanity:

• Rodney Williford: 6.317 @ 234.13 MPH
• Mark Rendeluk: 6.354 @ 236.84 MPH
• Jason Dunigan: 6.416 @ 234.17 MPH
• Justin Shakir: 6.491 @ 233.28 MPH

The action kept building from there.

In Round One, Williford laid down a scorching 6.475 @ 239.87, while Rendeluk answered with a jaw-dropping 6.356 @ 234.33. The numbers were unreal for the heat they were running in.

Round Two got even hotter—literally and figuratively. Dunigan clicked off a 6.370 @ 234.17, Rendeluk stayed locked in with a 6.372 @ 236.59, and Williford nearly broke the internet with a 240.47 MPH blast matching the current record, held by him.

Then came the shakeup.

In the semi-finals, Mark Rendeluk squared off with teammate Jason Dunigan and advanced with a 6.354 @ 232.51. On the other side, Justin Shakir pulled off the upset of the year—taking down reigning champ Rodney Williford after Williford lost traction and couldn’t recover. Shakir’s clean 6.463 @ 232.07 sealed the deal and marked the first time Williford has missed a final since October 2023.

The final round had championship implications. Rendeluk, sitting second in points, saw a prime opportunity to close the gap. Shakir, chasing his first final appearance since last season, was hungry to capitalize.

Both riders were armed with deadly powerplants and had to be flawless. Shakir nailed the tree with a .053 to Rendeluk’s .070, but slipped at the hit—just enough for Rendeluk to power by with a 6.383 @ 237.84 to claim the W.

Beyond the win, Rendeluk’s consistency was jaw-dropping—six passes in the 6.3X zone in extreme conditions that had most teams struggling for traction and tune.

With this victory, Rendeluk is closing the gap on Williford in the points chase—and sending a message: he’s not just consistent—he’s coming for the crown.

DME Racing Real Street

Winner – Brandon Litten
Runner-up – Rickey Gadson

The DME Racing Real Street class brought high-octane drama to the WPGC Bike Fest at Maryland International Raceway, serving up a mix of chaos, controversy, and cutthroat competition. Twenty-one machines rolled to the line, each locked, loaded, and ready for battle. With the shadow of last event’s disqualification still looming, the stakes couldn’t have been higher.

The tension kicked in early. During pre-race tech, six riders were disqualified for running triple trees measuring less than an inch, violating the one-inch rule. Of those six, only three managed to fix their bikes in time to make a qualifying pass.

Qualifying was nothing short of explosive. Rickey Gadson grabbed the #1 spot with a 7.340, coming within a hair of the class record of 7.327. While the ET record stayed intact, the MPH record fell—twice. In round two, Travis Wood broke Brandon Litten’s recently set 200 mph record with a 201.97 mph blast. But Litten wasn’t having it. In round three, he struck back, reclaiming his crown with a blistering 202.45 mph run.

Eliminations were a showcase of power and precision. Gadson carried his momentum to the final, taking out Candace Bubb, Anibal Merced, and former class champion Marcus Hylton. On the other side of the ladder, Litten fought his way past Jamie Lopes, David Fondon, and Caleb Holt while also resetting the MPH again to a 203.61!

When the final round came, both riders were razor-sharp on the tree—Gadson with a .052 light to Litten’s .060. Gadson made a hard charge, but Litten was tucked in and unleashed his best pass of the weekend, taking the win with a 7.396 over Gadson’s 7.480.

With the victory, Litten moves into third in the championship standings, while Gadson maintains his grip on the points lead with just two races left in the season.

HTP Performance Super Stock

Winner – Jeremy Teasley
Runner-up – Mike Davis

Teasley Triumphs Again in HTP Performance Super Stock at WPGC Bike Fest

The HTP Performance Super Stock class delivered edge-of-your-seat action at the WPGC Bike Fest, bringing raw horsepower and razor-sharp reaction times to Maryland International Raceway in the true hand clutch class.

Qualifying was once again ruled by Tim Cottrell, who locked in the #1 qualifier position for the third race in a row with a blistering 8.877-second pass. Cottrell’s consistent performance carried him through the early rounds and into the semi-finals, where he met the always-dangerous Mike Davis—currently sitting second in points. Cottrell cut a strong .110 light to Davis’ .122 and appeared to have the upper hand off the line. But trouble struck as Cottrell fought to tame a wheelie on his ZX-14. That hesitation cost him critical momentum, allowing Davis to power past and claim the win with an 8.937 to Cottrell’s 9.263.

Davis advanced to his second final round appearance of the season, setting the stage for a showdown with reigning class champion Jeremy Teasley. After opening the season with a win, Teasley had struggled to find his groove at the last two events. But at Bike Fest, the champ was back in top form. He tore through the field with wins over Seth Leach, Jayden Litten, and Mike Geer to punch his ticket to the final.

In the last pass of the day, Davis struck first with a .103 light to Teasley’s .127, but that early jump wasn’t enough. Teasley unleashed the full might of his Super Stock machine, reeling in Davis with a clean, controlled 8.933 run to Davis’ 9.020.

The HTP Performance Super Stock class continues to show why it’s a fan favorite—tight races, dramatic turns, and no shortage of championship-caliber talent.

Team Skittles ATV Shootout

Winner – Blake Chavis
Runner-up – Tevon Huntley

Blake Chavis Keeps His Streak Alive in Team Skittles ATV Shootout at WPGC Bike Fest

For the fourth straight event, Blake Chavis proved why he’s the top dog in the Team Skittles ATV Shootout, locking down the #1 qualifying spot once again at the WPGC Bike Fest at Maryland International Raceway. The rivalry between Chavis and Tevon Huntley continued to heat up, as the two standout riders faced off in yet another highly anticipated final-round showdown.

Riding the wave of momentum from three previous finals, Chavis earned a first-round bye and then powered past Jayden Muchmore to secure his fourth consecutive trip to the money round.

On the other side of the bracket, Huntley came in with something to prove after suffering a mechanical failure in the waterbox during their last final matchup. He fought his way through a stacked field, defeating Jose MCintron and Rickey Torres with clean, aggressive passes to earn his shot at redemption.

In the final, Huntley launched first with a .086 reaction and surged toward the eighth-mile stripe. Chavis was close behind, leaving with a .112 light and quickly going to work closing the gap. But Huntley’s run unraveled mid-track, and Chavis made the clean pass around him—crossing the stripe with a 4.819 to Huntley’s slowed 7.196.

With another win in the books, Blake Chavis solidifies his grip on the class and sends a clear message: he’s not just in the hunt—he’s running the show.

AGM Boosted Bulls

Winner – Derek Sobiech / Night Stalker
Runner-up – Alex Moore / Big Kountry

The AGM Boosted Bulls class brought the heat to the WPGC Bike Fest at Maryland International Raceway with the return of Derek Sobiech and his sinister steed, Night Stalker. After taking the month of June off, Sobiech came back swinging—and with a vengeance.

At the last event, Sobiech finished runner-up to points leader Malcolm Phillips. But this weekend, Phillips was a no-show, opening the door for the rest of the field to claw their way back into the championship chase.

Sobiech secured a bye in the first round, automatically advancing to the final. There, he would square off against Alex Moore on Big Kountry, who earned his spot by taking out Frankie Stotz and Reddi-Wip with some clever gamesmanship at the tree, throwing Stotz off rhythm and snatching the win.

But the mind games stopped there.

In the final, Night Stalker lived up to its name. Sobiech did what he does best—left first, left hard, and didn’t look back. Moore never had a chance. Sobiech crossed the stripe with a decisive win, leaving Big Kountry in the dust and the crowd on its feet.

With this win, Derek Sobiech now moves into third place in the season points standings, keeping his championship hopes alive and the pressure on the rest of the class as the series barrels toward its conclusion.

Shore Car Wash Solutions Nitrous Bulls

Winner – Tony Patton / Big Durty
Runner-up – Jeremy Teasley / AMEX

The Shore Car Wash Solutions Nitrous Bulls class wasn’t here for fun and games—this was straight pressure at the WPGC Bike Fest. Maryland International Raceway turned into a warzone, and the Nitrous Bulls were out for blood.

Tony Patton on Big Durty came in locked and loaded. He smoked Jaques Gaskin on Arm & Hammer like it was routine, earning yet another trip to the final and showing everyone why he’s holding the top spot in the points.

Waiting for him? None other than Jeremy Teasley on AMEX—a.k.a. the GOAT. Teasley got to the final by taking out Aubrey Valentine on Moon Knight, and he looked ready to run it all the way through.

But Patton wasn’t impressed by the name or the legacy. When the tree dropped, Big Durty got busy. Patton left hard, never looked back, and made it crystal clear—he’s the man running Nitrous Bulls right now.

Teasley may be the GOAT, but this round? Patton snatched his card and kept the crown.

East Coast Collision Monster Bulls

Winner –  Dany Bernier / Bad Bern
Runner-up – Josh Eubanks / Maverick

Bad Bern Burns the Block in Monster Bulls at WPGC Bike Fest

The East Coast Collision Monster Bulls class popped off heavy at the WPGC Bike Fest, where the streets’ most savage machines rolled into Maryland International Raceway looking for smoke. No time slips. No mercy. Just raw grudge racing—winner takes all, loser talks later.

Dany Bernier on Bad Bern came in still smoldering from his first final-round loss of the season at the 190Hookup.com Superbike Showdown. And this time? He wasn’t here to play nice. Bernier went full beast mode—Justin “Gin” Gilmore on Day of the Dead? Gone. Spencer Claycomb on One Trip? One and done. Bernier bulldozed his way to his fourth final of the season.

But waiting on the other side? A legend making his first Monster Bulls appearance this season—Josh Eubanks on Maverick. He didn’t tiptoe in, either. Eubanks brought smoke, taking out reigning champ Crow Teasley on Unhinged and Henry Wise on New Jersey Drive like it was light work.

The final was a certified street war. Two killers. No clocks. Just guts and grip.

But when the dust settled, it was Bad Bern who laid the law down. Bernier crossed the line first, sending Eubanks packing and reminding him that this yard already got a boss.

Bernier’s message was loud: If you want the crown, you better come harder next time.

Tommie’s Motorsports DMV Bulls

Winner –  Travis Wood / Thunderbolt
Runner-up – Desmond Spauling / NWA

Travis Wood Drops the Hammer in Tommie’s Motorsports DMV Bulls

The DMV Bulls class ain’t for the timid. This is where rising killers earn their stripes. Low buy-in, max pressure—Nitrous, boost, whatever… just bring it. If you want smoke, this is the yard where you get tested.

And at the WPGC Bike Fest, Travis Wood brought straight thunder to a scorching Maryland International Raceway. Riding Thunderbolt, Wood was locked in from the jump. He cracked off wins against Dell Joes on Checkmate and Myles Taylor on The Kraken, fighting his way to his first final-round appearance of the season.

Standing in his way? Desmond Spaulding on NWA—the current points leader and fresh off a win. Spaulding had all the confidence, all the momentum, and all the smoke on his side of the track.

But Thunderbolt was dialed in.

When the beams dropped, Wood launched like a missile, beat Spaulding off the line, and never looked back. Spaulding might’ve been talking slick—but Wood hit the stripe before he even knew what time it was.

First final. First win. Thunderbolt made it loud and clear—Travis Wood’s here for war.

Hems Site Solutions All Motor Bulls

Winner –  David Fondon / Shadow
Runner-up –  Jordan Angelo / Da Setup

David Fondon Slays the King in Hems Site Solutions All Motor Bulls

The streets came alive at the WPGC Bike Fest as the Hems Site Solutions All Motor Bulls class brought the noise—and David Fondon came to collect.

Riding Shadow, Fondon wasn’t on anybody’s radar coming into the weekend. But that didn’t matter. He handled business like a straight killer, taking out Mark Blake on Right Way and then bodying La Payne on Dark Knight to punch his ticket to the final.

Waiting for him? The undefeated points leader Jordan Angelo on Da Setup—cool, confident, and gunning for his third win of the season. Angelo made light work of Jeff Kanagie on Gotti and Turon Davis on DTFI to claim his third final-round appearance. He was walking like a champ and riding like one too.

But Fondon? He wasn’t reading the script.

When the beams dropped, Shadow launched with bad intentions. Fondon threw down the kind of pass that shakes the class up—clean, cold, and lethal. The streak? Snapped. The king? Knocked off. Angelo caught that L, and Fondon claimed his first All Motor Bulls win of the season in savage fashion.

Shadow stepped out the dark—and left with the crown.

1 Stop Speed 4.60 Index

Winner – Ronald Procopio
Runner-up – Shawn Rainey

The 1 Stop Speed 4.60 Index class lit up Maryland International Raceway during the WPGC Bike Fest, delivering tight action and fierce battles from the first qualifying round to the final pass.

Qualifying saw seven racers dip into the competitive 4.60 zone, but it was Durwood Rawling who threw down a perfect 4.600 to earn the coveted #1 qualifying spot. Rawling’s precision didn’t carry into eliminations, however, as he ran a 5.393 in round two and was eliminated by a hard-charging Shawn Rainey.

Rainey was on a mission. After taking out Rawling, he went on a tear through the ladder—defeating Brevin Bond, James Taylor, and Rickey Butler Jr.—to punch his ticket to his first final-round appearance of the season.

Meanwhile, reigning champion Ronald Procopio was running his own clinic on the opposite side of the ladder. Procopio sliced through Anthony Hunnicutt, Joey Brandgard, Darrel Hollins, Errand Pielert, and even took down family in Joe Procopio to reach the final round.

Unfortunately, the final round never turned into the showdown fans were hoping for. Shawn Rainey was unable to make the call due to mechanical issues, handing Ronald Procopio a solo pass and the event win as he powered down the track under the beams.

Despite the anticlimactic finish, the 1 Stop Speed 4.60 Index class once again proved why it’s one of the most exciting and unpredictable categories on the circuit. With Procopio strengthening his hold on the championship and Rainey making a statement with his strongest showing yet, the chase for the title is far from over.

Capital Brand Group 5.60 Index

Winner – Mark Schwalm
Runner-up – Rico Brown

The Capital Brand Group 5.60 Index class brought explosive action to the WPGC Bike Fest at Maryland International Raceway, where throttle control, strategy, and nerves of steel made the difference between victory and defeat.

In qualifying, the field was tight—but Kenneth Babiak set the bar early, landing the #1 spot with a dead-on 5.607-second pass, the only competitor to run on the index. However, his momentum was short-lived after going way off the mark with a 5.90 in round two, handing the win to Donovan Noakes.

As eliminations unfolded, it became clear who the heavy hitters were. Rico Brown and Mark Schwalm emerged as the dominant forces, each slicing through five rounds of competition to meet in the final. For Schwalm, this marked back-to-back final round appearances, having earned runner-up honors at Rockingham to Duane Jackson. This time, however, he was determined to go one step further.

The final round promised fireworks, with both riders red-hot at the tree all day long. But when the lights came down, Brown pushed just a hair too hard and lit the red bulb with a -.021 reaction time—handing the win and the points lead to Schwalm.

It was Schwalm’s first win of the season and a major step forward in the championship chase as the season heads into its final stretch.

Breezewood Farms Top Sportsman

Winner – Dustin Lee
Runner-up – Joe Procopio

The Breezewood Farms Top Sportsman class delivered high-octane excitement at Maryland International Raceway during the WPGC Bike Fest, showcasing intense side-by-side battles and championship-level performances all weekend long.

Qualifying kicked off with Kevin Johnson setting the pace, laying down a sharp 7.600-second pass to earn the #1 spot. But in a surprising twist, Johnson’s race day ended early in round one after a slow reaction time allowed Wilson Burkead to slip past him and end his campaign.

With Johnson out, the spotlight quickly shifted to two heavy hitters—Joe Procopio and Dustin Lee—who carved their way through the field with impressive consistency.

Joe Procopio, the current points leader and season opener winner, looked strong all weekend, taking out Bobby Holland, Fred Yerger, Mark Schwalm, and Rickey Butler Jr. to earn another final-round berth.

On the other side of the ladder, Dustin Lee was on a mission. Making his first final-round appearance of the season in Top Sportsman, Lee eliminated Tim Harris, Donald Haas, Sequoyah Swain, and Cory Stuebner with calculated precision.

The final round was a showdown of titans. Lee dialed a 7.96 and Procopio a 7.89. When the tree dropped, Lee grabbed the advantage with a sharp .019 light against Procopio’s .043. The pair raced side-by-side to the stripe, and in a nail-biting finish, it was Lee who turned on the win light with a 7.971 over Procopio’s 7.902.

Dustin Lee may have claimed the winner’s circle this weekend, but Joe Procopio continues to lead the championship points battle as the series heads into the final stretch.

MPS Racing Pro ET

Winner – Jeffrey Santin
Runner-up – Dale Hamilton

The MPS Racing Pro ET class delivered an electrifying showcase of skill, strategy, and consistency as 130 competitors packed the staging lanes at Maryland International Raceway for the WPGC Bike Fest.

Jeffrey Santin, fresh off a win at the previous event, came into the weekend trailing points leader Dustin Lee by just thirty points. But the championship landscape shifted quickly when Lee suffered a surprising round-three loss to Mac McAdams. With the door now open, Santin knew every round win counted—and he rose to the occasion.

Santin powered through seven intense rounds of competition, consistently hitting his marks and stacking win lights to earn another final-round appearance. On the other side of the ladder stood Dale Hamilton, a seasoned veteran known for his laser-sharp reaction times and ruthless consistency.

In the final, Hamilton dialed in at 9.02, with Santin set at 8.22. Hamilton’s tree dropped first, and he launched with an impressive .010 reaction time. Santin followed with a near-perfect .013, setting up a thrilling drag race to the stripe. Both riders pushed their machines to the limit, resulting in a double breakout finish. Hamilton ran an 8.981, while Santin clocked an 8.186—but the win light lit up in Santin’s lane by a mere 22 inches.

With back-to-back wins and a clutch performance under pressure, Jeffrey Santin now takes control of the MPS Pro ET Championship Points Chase, solidifying himself as the rider to beat heading into the back half of the season.

Brock’s Performance Street ET

Winner – Rafaelle Proctor
Runner-up – Jakhi Murphy

The Brock’s Performance Street ET class delivered another nail-biting finish at the WPGC Bike Fest, keeping fans on the edge of their seats with every round at Maryland International Raceway.

Rafaelle Proctor, who kicked off the season with a win, was back in top form, carving his way through the field to earn another shot at victory. Standing in his way was Jakhi Murphy, who had a breakout weekend and advanced to his first final-round appearance of the season.

The stage was set for a tight battle, with dial-ins nearly identical—Murphy at 9.26 and Proctor at 9.23. When the lights dropped, Murphy launched first with a .077 reaction on his GSX-R1000, but Proctor answered with a blistering .018 light, setting up a side-by-side showdown to the stripe.

Proctor quickly closed the gap and the two stayed locked together all the way to the finish line—neither rider lifting. In a photo finish, it was Proctor who got there first, tripping the beams with a 9.282 to Murphy’s 9.243 breakout.

With his second win of the season, Proctor strengthens his status as a serious contender for the championship while Murphy proves he’s a name to watch in the rounds ahead.

VooDoo Motorcycle Components Bracket Bash

Winner – Jeffery Santin
Runner-up – Travis Hunter

The VooDoo Components Bike Bash brought the heat to Maryland International Raceway during the WPGC Bike Fest, where a massive field of 118 racers lined up for battle in one of the most competitive bracket classes of the weekend. With seven grueling rounds of eliminations standing between each racer and the winner’s circle, every round was a war.

Fresh off a win at the previous event, Jeffery Santin returned to the lanes in dominant form. Calm, calculated, and consistent, Santin sliced through the field with machine-like precision to punch his ticket to another final-round appearance.

On the other side of the ladder, Travis Hunter was having a breakout weekend. Making his first final-round appearance of the season, Hunter put together an impressive run through eliminations, earning his shot at the win.

In the final, Hunter dialed an 8.54 to Santin’s quicker 8.23, giving him the head start at the tree. But under the pressure of the moment, Hunter flinched—leaving the line early with a heartbreaking -.071 red light, handing Santin the win and his second consecutive victory in the class this season.

With momentum fully on his side, Santin is quickly becoming the racer to beat in the sportsman ranks.

Hard Times Parts & Service Gambler’s Race

Winner – Dustin Lee
Runner-up – Nick Christmas

The Hard Times Parts & Service Gambler’s Race kicked off the WPGC Bike Fest weekend at Maryland International Raceway with a high-stakes, high-drama showdown under the Friday night lights. With 64 racers locked in for six intense rounds of eliminations, every pass counted—and the competition was fierce.

In the end, it was Dustin Lee and Nick Christmas who rose to the top, each fighting their way through a deep field to earn a spot in the final round.

With a dial-in of 9.37, Christmas would leave first, while Lee—dialed at 8.88—had to wait patiently at the tree for over a full second before launching in pursuit. When the bulbs dropped, Christmas cut a solid .043 reaction time, but Lee was dialed in with a sharper .033.

As the crowd watched, Lee thundered down the quarter mile, reeling in Christmas inch by inch. At the stripe, it was a photo finish—with Lee taking the win by a margin of just two inches, running 8.924 to Christmas’s 9.405.

Dustin Lee’s victory marks a thrilling start to the WPGC Bike Fest weekend, setting the tone for a weekend full of unforgettable racing.
