GNCC Racing Celebrates the Life of Joy Adele “Duck” Shaver
At Season Ending Ironwoman GNCC 

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (November 1, 2016) – It is with great sadness that Racer Productions reports the passing of Joy Adele “Duck” Shaver of Crawfordsville, Indiana. Duck lost her battle to cancer last Tuesday, October 25, at the age of 74.

Duck, a pharmacist and farmer, loved all things outdoors and drove her ATV to work every day, even in the bitter cold winters of Indiana.  Co-owner of Tom’s Marine Sales and the home of Ironman Raceway, Duck always looked forward to welcoming racers and fans to her property. She and her husband Tom hosted their first GNCC in 1995 and their first Pro Motocross in 2014.  Ironman Raceway is considered one of the premiere race facilities on both circuits.

“The first time we met Duck she instantly made us feel like family,” said Racer Productions Director Tim Cotter. “For over twenty years we have had the honor of partnering with Duck for the Ironman GNCC, and this weekend we remembered her with the ‘Ironwoman’ GNCC. We ask that you keep Duck, her family and friends in your prayers during this difficult time.”

Duck was surrounded by her family as she was laid to rest on Friday a few miles from her beloved farm. The 2016 Ironman GNCC ranks as the all-time largest GNCC ever, with 2,440 unique race entries and thousands of hearty race fans. Duck would have been proud.
