Minneapolis, March 9, 2009 -Daryl Rath is proving the Sportsman 850 XP with power steering is a force to be reckoned with in GNCC by hitting the podium again this past weekend, at GNCC Round 2, The General, in Washington, Georgia.

Off his third place win at GNCC Round 1 the weekend before, Rath finished second in the "4x4 Open" class at Round 2. Running third most of the race, he made his move on the final lap for a solid second place finish. With two races under his belt, Rath is tied for second in the "4x4 Open" class for the series.

The next GNCC race is Steele Creek, March 21-22, in Morganton, NC.
