2OG Racing

Something about this photo just screams “Bill!” 😂

The entire county is dry as a bone and nothing but dust, but he managed to find the one, 4’ x 6’ mud hole and backed right into it. 🙄

Let’s be honest, is ANYONE surprised to see this?

July 26, 2026: Round 4 (Rain-out Make-up) CoalTrain Energy Missouri State Motocross Championship Series at Grain Valley MX, Grain Valley, Missouri

Another positive weekend for the 2OG at Round 4 of the Mo State Series with another pair of 4th/5th finishes.

Perhaps the most notable gain for the team came from Mark Coffman's getting the holeshot in both motos. While he faded back to his previous position late in each race, MC39 took the early lead and ran with the prior race leaders for much of both motos, which definitely hints at things to come.

"I went down on Saturday to get a feel for the track, which neither of us have seen since Bill and my boys raced the same series back in 2001. It was good to get some extra time on the bike. When we initially decided to do this, I had no idea that I'd be so swamped with work that I wouldn't be able to make time to practice, but that's what it has been all season. I've been trying to race my way back into shape and form and that just isn't a good way to go. My starts were great and the first 2-3 laps felt good, but I've got to work on stamina so I can hold the pace for the whole race. I'm getting there."

Bill Little has been racing himself while the knee continues to get stronger, focusing on improving each race. While his overall was equal to the 5th place finish in the previous round, he wasn't personally happy with his ride.

"It's like one step forward and two steps back at this point. I re-injured the knee at therapy early last week and can't seem to get the swelling down, but that has nothing to do with my performance at Grain Valley. I thought I'd finally licked my post-crash mental hangup with ruts in the last round at Bar 2 Bar MX, but for some reason that came back in the second moto this weekend. I rode better in Moto 1 than I've ridden since coming back from the injury, but for some reason in Moto 2, I started hyper-focusing on every single rut and actually went down on the final lap because of it ... and Grain Valley isn't even a rutty track for the most part! It's just something I've got to get past. I'll be working on it at home for the next three weeks and hopefully I'll find my speed and clear my head of this block by Round 6 in mid-August."

Official standings are now posted with Mark in 3rd overall - 15 points out of 2nd and Bill now in 4th overall for the Series.

While both Bill and Mark continue to improve during their return to the sport, Mark put in the work to get the biggest gains this weekend at the rain-out make-up of Round 4 of the CoalTrain Energy Missouri State Motocross Championship Series at Grain Valley MX.

While his 4th overall finish resulted from late-moto fades, he was able to pull the holeshot in both motos and diced with the top 3 during the opening laps.

Is it only a matter of time? We'll see what happens, but things are looking up for the 2OG!

This is a cool effort by Racer X Illustrated to try to get the photo into these kid’s hands!

(Imagine how disappointed these kids must’ve been to not have a photo of their meeting their hero).

Please share this as well. Maybe these guys will be able to share that moment with their friends after all.

(I can hear their friends now, “you didn’t meet Deegan, liar!”)

These two kids wanted to get a photo with Haiden Deegan but their parents weren’t around with the phone, and Deegan had to leave for the airport, so we’re posting this shot of them and Haiden in case their parents spot it and want to save it!
