For the final two rounds of the series, Jami Luburgh had to race in a borrowed Polaris RZR. Jami and her brother Jason Luburgh had been sharing a car for the entire season, but Jason had an un-repairable  mechanical issue during his race in round five, so the team had to borrow a car from one of the Pro-am racers. Despite the issues, that did not stop Jami Luburgh from grabbing the round five holeshot. Luburgh was followed by the 881 car of Sarah Gildea but was able to hold the lead for the entire race and took the round five win with ease.

“It’s been a close run all season. Cindi and I were three points apart when we came out here for this last round and somehow, I pulled it off! It’s the most amazing feeling this year. My brother Jason and I came out here as a team and we mainly came out here to have fun. We didn’t really know a lot about SxS racing. I’ve never ran UTV’s before and Jason had never raced them, but we both got the championships and we couldn’t be any happier! This was an awesome event for us and we are really looking forward to next year,” said Jami Luburgh.

For round six, Hart was ready for action, but she did not get the start she was looking for and got off the line in dead last. Hart pushed hard and was able to make the passes she needed to work into position, but began to encounter issues and was unable to make a move on Luburgh for the lead, leaving her to finish in second place and take second in series points.
