Monster Energy/Andrews/Yamaha’s Josh Weisenfels Nails Down A 2nd Place 
Podium Finish @ Loretta Lynn’s GNCC

Weisenfels chased by teammate Dustin Gibson (4th) and Dave Snyder 
(8th), giving Monster Energy three of the top ten overall XC2 spots

CORONA, Calif., (April 28, 2008) ”“ Monster Energy/Andrews/Yamaha racer 
Josh Weisenfels put his YZ250F up on the box in 2nd place in the XC2 
class this past weekend at the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country 
Series (GNCC) round at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.

Couple with Monster Energy-backed teammates Dustin Gibson (4th) and 
Dave Snyder (8th), Monster Energy enjoyed three racers in the XC2 
class top ten overall at the popular off road competition motorcycle 
series stop in Tennessee.

“I got a good start and tried to go too fast at first,” said 
Weisenfels. “My arms got pumped up so bad. After the gas stop I could 
start to charge again. This is the best I have ever finished at 
Loretta’s.”Â

  Pulling the holeshot at the Loretta’s GNCC was Gibson, with 
Weisenfels hot on his rear fender in 2nd. After the first lap 
Weisenfels was still battling hard at 2nd place, while Gibson had 
dropped a bit to 4th. And all the while Snyder was working his way up 
into the top ten.

  “I was in the lead and hit my foot on a tree and it ended up 
bothering me all day,” said Gibson. “I am very disappointed. I wanted 
to be on the podium.”Â

Added Snyder: “I felt like I finally rode a good race from start to 
finish. I have had a hard time so far this season. I’m looking forward 
to the next race in Ohio.”Â

Next up for the Monster Energy/Andrews/Yamaha team is the May 10th 
GNCC contest in Milfield, Ohio.
