Quick Fill #23: This Week in GNCCAugust 10, 2017Welcome to Quick Fill. It’s been a crazy few weeks for everyone at Racer Productions/MX Sports as we’ve been knee deep in the action at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. Last week’s AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship was one of the best in the 36 year history of the event and this weekend we roll into the final round of the ATV Motocross Series here at Loretta Lynn’s. That makes a long stint on the road for many of us but with a ton of racing action and a venue as cool as Loretta Lynn’s, it makes things more bearable.
Tuesday Toolbox: Frank KeeganAugust 8, 2017It’s hard to miss the KR4 crew at the average GNCC, as there are usually well over 20 riders and two semis with full pit setups at every race. The KR4 organization consists of three levels – a pro team, an amateur team, and of course, the Arrive-N-Ride program, where riders pay for the privilege of being able to show up at the race with nothing more than a gearbag (and maybe not even that) but get a “Factory Rider Experience” – a fully prepped bike, pit crew, a mechanic to help with setup, and best of all, not having to clean the bike or equipment at the end of the race!

Tuesday Toolbox: Brandon IcardAugust 1, 2017Brandon Icard is a 19-year-old XC2 Pro-Am ATV rider and college student from Hickory, North Carolina. Though fairly young, he has already reached his biggest goal in racing – an XC2 Pro-Am class win at America’s Toughest Race. Along with his win at Snowshoe he also finished an impressive twelfth overall. We caught up with Brandon to see how his season has been going.
Tuesday Toolbox: Grant BaylorJuly 25, 2017Grant Baylor is a name that needs no introduction. He and his brother Stu have been fixtures at the GNCCs for many years now. The good ole’ boys from Belton, South Carolina bring a unique flair to the XC1 ranks of the GNCCs, as well as the National Enduros and other East Coast off-road series. Just two weeks ago Grant Baylor earned his first career overall win at the John Penton GNCC.

Quick Fill #22: This Week in GNCCJuly 20, 2017Welcome to Quick Fill. The GNCC summer break rolls on and as the temperatures start to rise throughout much of the east coast I believe many folks are happy to see summer break come. Of course, at the same time there are still plenty of folks who can beat the heat and wouldn’t mind it at all. Don’t worry though, we’ll get back to racing before you know it because summer break always flies by and September is just around the corner.
Tuesday Toolbox: Kenny HawkinsJuly 18, 2017Kenny Hawkins is a 48-year-old ATV and bike racer from Elkins, West Virginia, a small town just outside of Snowshoe Mountain. He races the Super Senior A classes in both divisions; he is currently fourth in points in the ATV class and third on the bike side. He earned his first amateur overall podium at Snowshoe Mountain in the AM Bike race, which he then followed up with a second place overall at the John Penton, again in the AM Bike race. In an unfortunate error, however, his overall finishing position at Snowshoe was not recognized in time for the podium ceremony. So as a peace offering, especially given his excellent standings in both his bike and ATV classes and because top-3 overall finishes are generally pretty cool, we decided to gives this week’s Tuesday Toolbox to Kenny.
