Korie Steede Scores Third-Place Finish in WXC at Camp Coker Bullet GNCC
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing teammate Craig DeLong takes P6
Grand National Cross Country Series – Round 4
Having opened her 2026 campaign with podium results in each of the first three rounds – including a victory at Talladega – Steede entered Round 4 looking to maintain her momentum aboard the Husqvarna FC 250 Factory Edition.
Running near the front throughout the four-lap duration, the defending WXC Champion finished third with a total time of 1:57.45. That Camp Coker Bullet result moves Steede into second in the standings as she heads into the all-new The Dukes GNCC on April 18-19.
“Camp Coker sure was a wild ride!” Steede said. “Fought hard from the beginning of the race and left it all out there on the track – grateful to be out of that place in one piece!”
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing teammate Craig DeLong was also competitive at Camp Coker despite an early crash, racing his Husqvarna FX 350 forward to sixth place in both the XC1 Open Pro Class and Overall.
Combining his results from the first four rounds of 2026, the former GNCC Champion moved up to fourth in the Overall standings, signaling steady progression as he continues to build momentum in his 2026 campaign.
“Got a good start and was inside the top-five,” DeLong recalled. “A fall on the first lap had me drop back to about eighth. I felt good and made a couple of passes, but had a really hard time getting around a few guys that kept me from a top-five or even more. It’s frustrating because I felt strong at the end and had good speed, so we’ll just use it for fuel for the next couple of weeks to be ready for the next one.”
