After a long year of competing at the 2025 National Enduro Series, it was a shocking revelation to find out Steward Baylor Jr. bought the Series, changed the name, and has some big changes in store. It seemed the perfect reason to bring the microphone back out for a Seat Time Podcast episode.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- How and why Steward Baylor Jr ended up buying the National Enduro Series, straight from his perspective.
- What the new American National Enduro Championship (ANEC) name actually means for riders and the sport in the U.S.
- The biggest changes coming for 2026 National Enduro, including schedule decisions and how new locations came onto the calendar.
- How drop rounds, two-day events, and other format tweaks are meant to help racers, families, and clubs.
- Why “Enduro in America is in trouble,” and what Stew thinks needs to change to keep the sport growing instead of shrinking.
You’ll also notice this full episode is available on the Seat Time Youtube channel. If you enjoy watching podcasts, or having them on the background, please watch it there. If a certain podcasting platform suits your needs, search for Seat Time, and it should be available now, or soon. If you’re not a trend setter using a weird podcasting platform, there are a few links below.
My hope is to explore a new theme in 2026 with the Seat Time Podcast, still dirt bikes of course, but expanding and exploring the mindset of a racer. Make sure you give a subscribe wherever you tune in for this episode.
The number one way to support Seat Time is share this episode, or a future video, with your riding buddies! After that, the easiest way to support Seat Time is to become a subscriber on Substack for $5/Month. Lastly, use the Amazon Links in articles or Buy Me a Coffee.
