Team UXC Racing Wins Again at GNCC Round 8
Michael Swift Takes Win on Polaris Scrambler 850

2015 GNCC Racing
John Penton - Round 8
Minneapolis, MN (6/12/2015) - Team UXC Racing’s Michael Swift would make it two-in-a-row by taking the win in the Pro 4x4 class, on his Scrambler 850, at GNCC’s John Penton, in Millfield, OH this past weekend.

Pro 4x4 teammates Swift and Kevin Trantham worked their way into position through lap one. Trantham suffered a drive belt issue pulling him from the race. Swift swapped positions a couple of times for second and then took advantage of a line in the woods to make a clean pass for the lead. After receiving the white flag, he utilized the superior handling of his Polaris Scrambler 850 to place a buffer between him and second place before entering the last mile of the race consisting of the motor cross section. Swift was able to hold the lead for his third Pro 4x4 Class win of the 2015 GNCC season.
