2026 Loretta Lynn's

Gibson

After last year's vlog statements Carson Wood has disappointed big time.

It is probably the most cheated class in Loretta. Because it has to be a bone stock PW50 but people are changing the bearings to ceramic ones to gain advantages or do other stuff. Blose and his wife posted about it on Instagram (their kid raced the class this year).

Must have been close between Tristan and deegs Jr I mean gauge brown. They both rode incredibly well. 

Thx for the link, I use it every time to get in.  Not many people in comments this yr, wounded why ?  It wasn’t the most exciting week of racing there . But the 2 classes of 125b/c where Fresken Awesome.  Matty B all excited & laughing at how hard there going.  Intensity turned up to peak.  Top 12-14 can run top 3.   A iL. Kid did both 125 b/c  his best was dnf, 9,7 . He raced at Xmas this yr & 2 yrs ago.  I did last yr , after vet practice I had to race to the line 25 in 125. No gate prep or holeshot device . I pulled a 12th place start after 2nd turn I was in 8.  The intensity is Real high up in the top 11-14.  I didn’t do fri practice, hill drop off to a huge bowl of tacking deep wet sand. Down shift to second land wo tap 3rd & lean it in. Then climb a steep ramp passed 2 there. I hit it far left & landed off the track, back in 18th now. Got up to 15th lap 2. triple up hill into the woods . Was deep swamp muck hit it too fast grabbed  the forks & I did a front flip off to the rt. Dig the bike out , pegs  stuck up bike wouldn’t start , race ovr. Then I did same thing 4 corners later going nuts , that was on me. Lap 3 I crashed again but bike stayed running .  So I know briefly of what it feels like to be up there .  My suspension was Way too soft , forks in the bottoming range on straight aways. Shock kicking , deep bruise groin to knee almost for 5 weeks.  1st 1/2 lap is all out to get the leaders & avoiding other crashes. 

LOL, I was going ask that earlier. 

It's the only class where an illegal part can make a huge difference with bottom and top end speed. Other classes you still have to be a solid rider to fully use the potential of the bike. We raced the PW this year. I dont think there were any protest and I didnt see any drama. 

I watched him at red bud, then at the ranch. He did not appear to ride the ranch nearly as fast as he was going at red bud. 

Was Osborne riding a 450?

Yeh extremely good rider but he was expected to win.

Yeah

I was pitted next to Tanner Dorman at the Muddy Creek Regional and spent some time hanging out with them.  They were super nice people and we noticed right away how humble and polite Tanner is.  So happy to see him win a title!

Every kid that got beat by Osborne and Phil needs to start filling out college applications. 

Dumb. 

Those two are still capable of earning pro points any given weekend. The kids are still learning and growing.
