Tune-In Alert: GNCC Racing on RacerTV.com
and NBCSN This Weekend, April 21 and 22
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (April 20, 2018) – This weekend do not miss GNCC Live on RacerTV.com from the 2018 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series, an AMA National Championship, round 5 – the CST Tires Camp Coker Bullet from Society Hill, South Carolina. The live broadcast starts Saturday, April 21 at 1 p.m. ET for pro ATV racing and 4 p.m. ET for pro UTV racing. Then Sunday, April 22 at 1 p.m. ET tune in for pro bike racing.
Adam McGill is fresh off his first win of the season, and with an 11-point deficit he is looking to earn another win this Saturday afternoon. Walker Fowler leads the pack in the points standings, and after winning the first two rounds Fowler has since experienced some misfortune. Last year Fowler earned the win at this venue, and is looking to repeat his success this year by earning his third win of the season.
Brycen Neal is ready for the rough and sandy racing conditions that are typically found in South Carolina. Neal finished third at the event last year, and since earning a win at round three this year, he is ready to get that second overall win under his belt. After completing three laps last year, Borich is determined to keep his season going in the right direction. After finishing inside the top five thus far in 2018, Borich is looking to contest for a race win.
UTV racing also returns for it’s third round this Saturday afternoon. Kevin Trantham took the win in Florida, but Cody Miller, Hunter Miller and Kyle Chaney are all ready to get a win this season.
On Sunday the Pro bike riders take on the course, as Thad Duvall recently secured his first win of the season minimizing the points lead that Kailub Russell had built through the first three rounds. K. Russell has his focus set on earning his sixth-straight National Championship, but he is going to have some difficult competition this year from the Husqvarna-backed rider, Duvall. After earning the win at Steele Creek two weeks ago, Duvall is looking to keep his momentum rolling into South Carolina this Sunday.
Hailing from Belton, South Carolina, just three hours west of Society Hill, are teammates and brothers, Steward and Grant Baylor. Steward Baylor Jr. has had a consistent start to the 2018 season, and will be aiming for another podium finish. After undergoing shoulder surgery during the off-season, Grant Baylor hasn’t had the best of luck coming into season thus far.
Trevor Bollinger battled at the front of the pack at round four, and finished third overall in his hometown of Morganton, North Carolina. After the excitement of earning his first podium of the season in front of family and friends, Bollinger will once again be eager to fight for a top three finish.
