Of the current Amsoil Pro class riders, the Days of ’76 Rodeo Grounds have seen 6 different winners. These winners include Kody Kamm, Lincoln Lemieux, Aki Pihlaja, Elias Ishoel, Daniel Benham, and Jacob Yurk. There is not a standalone rider with the most Pro wins in Deadwood. Kamm, Lemieux, and Ishoel each have two.

Hunter Patenaude, Francis Pelletier, Cole Cottew, and Travis Kern each have Pro Lite wins in Deadwood.

Following round 7, Elias Ishoel had regained the points lead. He brings to Deadwood the red plates. He is currently on a three-race win streak.

Kody Kamm earned his first career Pro win in Deadwood during the 2013-2014 season. The Hengtes Racing Polaris riders, Kody Kamm and Oskar Norum, have had good results at the Deadwood edition of the USAF Snocross National. In 2021, Kamm finished 3rd on Friday and 2nd on Saturday. Norum finished 2nd on Friday and 5th on Saturday.

Another rider to earn his first career Pro win in Deadwood is Jacob Yurk (2021). This came one year after a bad crash in 2020 that left him with a broken back. Aki Pihlaja earned his first career win here in 2019.

Team Lavalle Polaris riders Adam Peterson and Kyle Pallin made recent podium appearances in Salamanca, NY. Peterson finished 2nd on Friday night, and Pallin 3rd on Saturday.

There are only two current riders who have made a Pro appearance at every Deadwood National: Kyle Pallin and Logan Christian. These two veteran riders have made more laps than any at the rodeo grounds, but neither has claimed a Deadwood victory. Both have come close and have been part of many exciting battles over the years.
