GNCC Racing SXS / UTV Race
Report
::Continued
The GNCC Racing XC2 Pro Sport SxS class would
prove to be a battle royale with the lead vacillating
between Joe Krcelich, current points leader, Doug
Gust in a Can-Am and the eventual victor, Polaris
RZR pilot, Sean Bogdan. Stoked to get the win,
Bogdan worked his way up the field and never looked
back. “The Racer Tech bumper hit things I never
should have in that dust, and the MMS wheels,
Tireballs and CST set-up gave me the traction
I needed”, said the winner.

Win

Former Pro ATV Motocross multi-time champion,
Doug Gust, secured his best finish of the season
in the second spot. This is Gust first year competing
in the GNCC Series in the Can-Am Maverick, so
it has taken him a few rounds to get into the
groove, but based on his racing history, he will
continue to be a threat for the podium in the
final two rounds of the season. Gust commented
on his finish, “It’s definitely different, it’s
brutal, you have so many elements… you gotta be
smart, it’s brutal.”

Jonathan Powers would take the final spot on
the podium in his Polaris RZR.
Krcelich would attempt to help out another racer,
get his Can Am entangled in the process and break
an axle, leaving him to limp home in twelfth place.
He remained upbeat, saying that “we are gonna
regroup for October and come out swinging.”

Despite his disappointing finish, Krcelich remains
in the lead, while Michael Swift’s consistent
placings in his Team UXC Racing’s Polaris RZR,
have left him a mere three points behind, with

shy of Swift.
