2014 GNCC Racing Series Round #8 - John Penton GNCC Millfield, Ohio June 7, 2014

N-Fab AmPro Yamaha’s Cole Richardson made the XC2 Pro Am championship points chase a little more exciting after capturing the round eight victory to bring the points tally to a tie with closest competitor and fellow rookie Marshal Goings. Richardson’s stellar performance was enough to land himself a fifth place overall for the day, followed by GT-Thunder’s Brian Wolf who finished sixth overall.
