Tuesday Toolbox: Lucas and Logan GroundsMay 30, 2017Brothers Lucas and Logan Grounds are two GNCC regulars who hail from Martinsville, Indiana. The family has been pursuing the series since 2013, when the oldest brother was still on a 50cc bike. Both brothers were champions in their respective classes last year: The oldest boy, Lucas (age 12) won the 85cc 7-11 class, while his brother Logan (age 7) placed first in 50cc Junior 4-6 class. Both are seeking to defend their titles in 2017. Lucas is competing on a 2016 KTM 85cc, and is currently second in points. Logan leads his class on a 2013 Cobra 50cc. In addition, at the rounds where the Micro bikes do not compete, Logan has been moving up and competing on his 65cc for practice. We sat down with them for a group interview, two tribes style, after the X-Factor GNCC in their home state of Indiana.

With his five wins and six podium finishes in six GNCC rounds this year, Cunningham owns a sizable 38-point lead heading into round seven of the GNCC ATV series.

Quick Fill #18: This Week in GNCCMay 25, 2017Welcome to Quick Fill.
Obviously this isn’t the type of week we had planned and the postponement of The John Penton GNCC originally scheduled for this weekend is not ideal but there are many factors that go into this decision. I explained many factors a few weeks ago when the X-Factor GNCC was postponed due to similar conditions. Unfortunately, I believe that a lot of folks still don’t quite understand why this decision was made.

A Word From The X-Factor OwnerMay 24, 2017This weekend we hosted what very well may go down in history as one of the muddiest GNCC’s of the series. That said, adversity brings out character and leadership in which GNCC displayed a grand amount of it during and after the clash with Mother Nature.
