Bryan Buckhannon Clinches Title with Ironman GNCC Win
Bryan Buckhannon Earns Eighth Straight GNCC Championship

Buckhannon came out atop of a three-atv dogfight, trading the lead several times on each lap, but ended in front at the checkered flag. In all, Buckhannon won three races this season, and finished on the podium at every event, which was the key to this year’s championship.

“I had to win this race to get the championship, so it was no-holds barred, and we knew it was going to be that way,” said Buckhannon. “It was a crazy battle. We traded the lead so many times that I don’t know how many times it changed.”

“We all raced really cleanly,” added Buckhannon. “Sure, there was some bumping and grinding, but overall everyone kept it clean. I definitely felt the pressure today. Most people couldn’t see how much we were passing. We were using lappers as moving picks.”

Buckhannon took some additional time to mentally prepare for the weekend’s event. “There was a lot of pressure on me coming into this race and I’m usually pretty amped up before a race,” said Buckhannon. “I calmed down a lot before this weekend. I got myself mentally prepared. Racing is tough both mentally and physically. I put both together today.”

Buckhannon’s Can-Am ran flawlessly this season, allowing him to run up front and in contention at every race. He’s looking forward to debuting Can-Am’s new 1000cc machine next year.

“This was a great year for us and for Can-Am,” said Buckhannon. “Any difficulties we had were based on missing the setup at a few races, but this machine is built to win races. We never gave up this year and I think it shows.”
