2015 GNCC Racing Series Round #2 - Maxxis General Washington, GA March 14, 2015

Can-Am/Racer Tech’s Marcus Pratt, who stepped up to the XC1 class this season, ran a strong race. Pratt started out in mid-pack but was able to pick off the competition and work his way through the bottlenecks and mud holes. In the final lap, Pratt took over fourth place and held it all the way to the checkered flag. “There is definitely a learning curve coming from the XC2 to the XC1 class. There is a much faster pace, but I had enough power to run with the top guys and keep it going all the way to the finish,” said Pratt.

Rounding out the top five in the XC1 was none other than Daryl Rath. Rath came from the back of the pack in 21st and hammered his way through traffic in a remarkable charge. Rath stayed the course and in the final lap, moved up for a fifth place finish.

John Kletz, in the #401 Can-Am, came from 30th place in the first lap and finished in a respectable sixth place.

Can-Am’s Larry Hendershot, Jr. had a good start and was running in a strong second place early in the race but in the final lap, the mud proved to be too much. “There was a lot of mud out there and we were lucky to be in second for most of the race. We caught up to a lapper in the final few hundred yards and we went for a pass and our belt went. We were able to finish in seventh and I am pretty happy about that with how things went at the end,” said Hendershot Jr.

Cross Kirchmeier took his Polaris from a mid-pack start and put it inside the top ten for an eighth place finish. Kirchmeier was the final racer in his class to complete four laps.

Can-Am’s Kyle Chaney started out strong in the number six spot and worked into the top three. Chaney was still in third in the final lap and was looking for a podium finish, but a blown belt kept that from happening and ended his day in ninth place. “We were having a good race. We blew by a few people and had worked up to third. We were running really strong but all that mud really took a toll. We were in third and in the final lap we blew a belt. Overall, I am really happy with how we did and we are hoping to be on the podium at the next round,” said Chaney.

Can-Am’s Zac Zakowski was looking good off the start and running in fifth. Zakowski was running in sixth place in the third lap, but a belt issue sidelined his efforts, putting him in tenth place at the checkered flag.
