Daniels, WV (4/3/2015) - Can-Am
/ QuadBoss / Bike Masters / Kenda backed Bryan Buckhannon
earned another podium position in the 4x4 Pro class
in the morning classes at round three of the 2015
GNCC series at Steele Creek in Morganton, NC.
Steele Creek is a challenging and rough track
that puts both man and machine to the test, but
Bryan Buckhannon was ready and able as he charged
off the start in the number three spot. “I had
a good start and I was in third heading into the
woods,” said Buckhannon.

place at Steele Creek GNCC in North Carolina |
Buckhannon was looking for an opportunity to
gain positions and didn’t have to wait long for
that to happen. “I got up to second in the second
lap and there were a couple of bottlenecks that
worked to my advantage, and I took over the lead,”
said Buckhannon.
Heading into the third lap, lap traffic became
an issue. “I got hung up behind a couple of lappers
and couldn’t get around them right away, and I
dropped back to third. Once I got around, I started
making up time,” Buckhannon explained.
Buckhannon was running fast and smooth, but a
rear shock began leaking fluid and soon was not
working. “I knew something was wrong because it
wasn’t handling right, but I didn’t want to stop
and lose more time, so I kept going and did the
best I could,” said Buckhannon.
Despite the shock issue, Bryan Buckhannon charged
his way to a third place finish in his class and
overall in the morning classes. “I’m actually
really happy with how I finished considering the
shock issue. Everything else worked great; my
engine pulled hard and I was running the new Kenda
Bounty Hunter tires out there this weekend and
they worked awesome. They hooked up great and
handled the roughest spots really well,” said
Buckhannon.
For the next round, Bryan Buckhannon will be
doing double duty as the SxS races will be back
at Big Buck. “I’m looking forward to Big Buck.
I like that track and I’m hoping to be back on
top of the podium for the 4x4 Pro for that round.
Plus I will be racing the SxS class and I am really
looking forward to that,” Buckhannon said.
Round four of the 2015 GNCC series will head
to Big Buck in Union, SC on April 11th where Bryan
Buckhannon will be going for the win.
