On Sunday the Pro bike riders take on the course, as Kailub Russell comes into his hometown round with five overall wins, and currently leads the way in the National Championship standings. K. Russell will look to extend his points lead while he continues his quest to earn his sixth consecutive GNCC title.

As the 13-round circuit reaches its halfway point, the previous race just two weeks ago made it evident that the racing action is far from reaching its climax. The battle for the lead between K. Russell and Rockstar Energy/Factory Husqvarna Racing’s Thad Duvall has been close at almost every event this season, and one thing that will be certain this weekend is no matter the outcome we are promised a great race.

Tely Energy Racing/KTM’s Steward Baylor Jr. comes into this weekend’s GNCC third in the championship standings, along with a handful of top five finishes in the first six rounds. Baylor Jr. will be aiming to battle through the XC1 Open Pro pack for his first overall win of the year. Baylor Jr.’s teammate and brother, Grant Baylor had a breakthrough performance at the previous round finishing third overall. G. Baylor will shoot to keep his momentum rolling and battle for the lead on Sunday afternoon.

These mistakes gave Adam McGill an open door to overtake the Yamaha riders in one pass and cross the line first to earn his first win of the 2018 season.
