Top Fry racer Ben Spinks is the 2019 Kenya National Enduro Championships (Knec) winner after a grueling final series held on the North Lake Road in Naivasha.
Spinks relished his third national title between 2017 and 2019 under Top Fry Racing Team livery.

In the final race, Spinks set his season best outpacing his erstwhile competitors, William Mayer, Mark Glen and Tanzanian who were some of the seasons favorites.
