The final race to the 2023 CBR Series was held on the fast .9 mile Carson course. The CBR Finale also hosted the California Masters State Criterium Championships and a Dash for Cash format for the Men and Women Pro Events with $50.00 on the line for every lap.

CBR Finale and the Dash for Cash
With CBR jerseys on the line for the CBR Finale and the Dash for Cash format this meant it wasn’t going to be a typical CBR race since there was money on the line every lap and some laps featured points for the jerseys.
In the Pro Men’s race, this made for an interesting race with the field maxed out at a 100 riders. None of the stronger teams really had the numbers at this even, so there was a lot individual riders making moves.
Breakaways had hard times staying away with money on the line for every lap up for grabs. However, it seemed like it didn’t stop some riders trying to head up the road.
There were several attempts with three or four rider groups trying roll away, which made the pace super fast for most of the race and took its toll on the riders.
This would dwindle the field to around just more than half the field. With a few laps remaining, a break went clear with Ulises Castillo (Denver Disruptors) and Thomas Fuller (iSpeed Racing) with a few laps remaining. The two riders would hold off the field for 1st and 2nd and the field sprint was won Alejandro Che (Velo Sport) for 3rd.
In the Women’s 1-3 race Georgeta Ungureanu (iSpeed Racing) took the win ahead of Chloe Patrick in 2nd and Priscilla Savord (Incycle) in 3rd.
