The third rider to earn a victory this season is RacingPowersports.com/CST Tires/PirateMX.com’s Adam McGill, who sits in third in the championship standings. McGill has been one of the most consistent riders at the front of the pack; however, the West Virginia native failed to score championship points at two rounds due to mechanical issues. Although that set him back in the standings, it’s still mathematically possible for McGill to dispute the title this season. 

DWT Racing’s Jarrod McClure holds the fourth place position in the championship standings, followed by Precision/Maxxis Tires-backed Chris Bithell in fifth. McClure struggled at the last round, finishing eighth overall, but the Pennsylvania native previously landed a solid streak of podium finishes to prove that he’s capable of running up front. Following a tough couple of rounds due to mechanical issues, Bithell heads into round 12 with a string of fourth place finishes behind him and the Pennsylvania native looks to return atop the podium once again. 

Dave Bayless Motorsports/Dirtworks/DC Cycles-backed Brycen Neal had a career-best performance at the last round, where he secured third overall for the day. In just his first full-season in the XC1 Pro class, Neal continues to progress through the ranks where he now sits seventh overall in the championship standings. Brian Wolf holds eighth overall, while Jay Shadron rounds out the top 10 in the championship standings.

SICC Racing/Maxxis-backed Marshal Goings closed the XC2 Pro Am championship chase to only five points behind N-Fab AmPro Yamaha/Lonestar/Maxxis/MXP’s Cole Richardson with two rounds remaining. Goings secured his fourth win of the season at round 11, where he put an end to Richardson’s impressive five-race winning streak up to that point. The rookie duo will battle it out at the final two rounds to determine the 2014 XC2 Pro Am Champion. 

New York’s Martin Christofferson captured yet another solid third place finish at the last round, where he maintains third place in the championship standings. Christofferson is looking to match his career-best second place finish from earlier this season or even capture his first career victory this Saturday at Powerline Park. 

In the 4x4 Pro class, it’s ATV Parts Plus/Can-Am’s Bryan Buckhannon who extended his championship points lead with a consistent string of finishes so far this season. Can-Am X-Team’s Kevin Trantham sits in the second place position, where he looks for a big victory to tighten the points race in the final rounds of the season. BNR Motorsports/Loctite Can-Am’s Robert Smith earned his second victory of the season at the last round, where he sits in the third place position in the championship standings. 

Side-by-Side racing returns to the GNCC lineup this Saturday at 4:30 p.m. with round five of the six-race championship. Team Can-Am/Chaney Racing leads the way in the XC1 Modified class with two consecutive victories behind them. Led by Kyle Chaney, the team looks to fend off other title contenders such as Coastal National Guard and JB Off-Road/Can-Am, who sit in second and third, respectively, in the championship standings. Team Big Country Powersports and the Polaris National Guard Team, who have each won a race this season, will look to climb through the championship ranks at the penultimate round this Saturday.

Youth ATV racing will take place on Saturday at 8 a.m., followed by amateurs, 4x4 Pro and Women at 10 a.m., and the top amateurs and pros at 1 p.m. Side-by-Side machines will compete on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
