September 6th, 2026: Kahoka, Missouri — Round 7 (Final Round) of the CoalTrain Energy Missouri State Motocross Championship Series …
The Mo State Series wrapped up in Kahoka, Missouri on Sunday with a hot, dusty race at a legendary track.
With Bill out for the season, the 2OG was solely reliant upon Mark Coffman to bring home results.
With the final Round being a combined Missouri State Series/Mid-America Series race, the competition was fierce. With double the normal number of races in the +50 Vet, getting the holeshot and staying at the front was the goal for MC39.
Moto 1 went as well as could be expected. Despite a slight hesitation on the gate, Coffman entered turn one in second and held that position for the first lap before going down and having to fight his way from the back, ultimately finishing in 7th. (Mark’s initial thought was fifth, but with two classes on the track at once time and without Bill and others from the 2OG present, it was hard to determine the actual finish order).
Moto 2 found the full sun baking the track in 100° temps and the hard pack had developed deep chuckholes, causing multiple crashes in races leading up to this moto.
Coffman watched the gate carefully and then took a leap of faith, timing the drop in his mind. This strategy worked, launching Mark to the front and battling with points leader Mike Libel for the first two laps.
As he thought he might, MC39’s lack of time for physical conditioning again caught up and he began fading on lap three, but held on to fight for Sixth against the rider who’d finished ahead of him in Moto 1.
Despite multiple pass attempts, Coffman held his position through the final lap, finishing 7/6 for Seventh Overall on the day and retaining his Third Place in the Series Points standings to solidify 3RD Overall in the 2026 CoalTrain Energy Missouri State Motocross Championship Series.
Congratulations to Mark Coffman on a hard fought Third Place 🥉 in the Series and to all of the 2OG efforts during what turned out to be an extremely challenging return to motocross!
