Still one of the top ATV pro racers, he has built a legend around his rebellious "Hell Yeah" attitude.

Tuesday Toolbox: Team Big Nutz RacingDecember 23, 2008Big Nutz Racing. Sound good? Team BNR is a group of privateer ATV racers that understands what GNCC Racing is all about. They race and ride hard in their classes, but they do it as a team, because this series is about friendship and camaraderie as much as it is results. BNR Team Manager Ryan Smith put together these interviews with his team riders.

Tuesday Toolbox: Tom WrightDecember 9, 2008Tom Wright has an appetite for adventure. He's the new GNCC Senior A (40+) ATV Champion, and he's looking to turn pro for next year. In between, he ran the Baja 1000 and nearly won it, and wants to find some riding partners to take on long endurance races all over the world. That's more than enough to make him the subject of this week's Tuesday Toolbox. -
Tuesday Toolbox: Charlie WelchNovember 18, 2008Sometimes kids just can't make up their mind, and that's the case for 10-year-old Charlie Welch. Charlie is already a solid ATV racer, but this year he started racing a bike, too. The result? Second in his ATV class, and top-ten on the bike. And today's Tuesday Toolbox. - Tuesday Toolbox: Bill BallanceNovember 11, 2008He's the man. He's the legend. He may be the best to ever do what he does. He's Bill Ballance, and he's now a nine-time GNCC Champion. How does Bill do it year after year? How does he keep the fire burning? And when will it ever stop? We sat down with the champ at the season-finale at the Ironman to get some insight.
- Tuesday Toolbox: Steve HatchNovember 4, 2008Steve Hatch was a staple at the front of the GNCC bike pack until he retired at the end of the 2004 season. But Steve, notoriously one of the hardest workin riders in the sport, couldn't just put the sport away. Today's he's a trainer to both Nathan Kanney and Kailub Russell, and after their double wins at the Ironman GNCC in Indiana, we spoke with Steve to check on the progress of his program.
- Tuesday Toolbox: David KnightOctober 28, 2008It's over. David Knight is about to leave the GNCC racing series behind after dominating his way to two championships. He also decided to end his run by racing an ATV at the Ironman. He's also switching teams next year and may run some GNCCs just to get in some testing. For the 2008 GNCC Champ, change is good.
- Tuesday Toolbox: Atwell and CeccoOctober 21, 2008Honestly, no other class in GNCC Racing seems to offer the competitive balance that we see in the Women's ATV Class. Year after year the title goes down to the wire, and this year is no exception. Traci Cecco and Angel Atwell are basically tied in points coming down to the finale this weekend at the Klotz Ironman GNCC. Who will win? We talked to the two ladies to get their take on it all.

At last weekend's Can-Am Unadilla GNCC, 200 C Schoolboy competitor Morgan Moss broke through to win the morning race bike overall. That's the first overall win by a non-sportsman class rider all year. Now Moss has the 200 C title locked up, so he's headed to the B class. Find out how this 16-year-old discovered hare scrambles, the GNCCs and success by reading on.
