2015 GNCC Racing Series Round #9 - Snowshoe Snowshoe, WV June 20, 2015

Bryan Buckhannon has put himself and his Can-Am up on the podium at every round so far this year and it has assured him the overall lead going into the summer break. With no fixed plans, a new Can-Am is in store for Buckhannon with a possible appearance at the Heartland Challenge.

Jordan Phillips claimed a 4th place finish at Snowshoe, which was his best finish since taking the 2nd spot on the Big Buck Podium at Round 4

The Pro 4x4 class saw a new face with regular XC2 Pro Am racer, Kevin Cunningham trying his hand at utility racing. Cunningham would bring his Can Am Outlander to an impressive fifth place and has this to say, “I would say my race went well. Getting into the 4x4 side of racing, everyone said if you can hold one together at snowshoe you can almost hold one together anywhere. So snowshoe was my first race on a 4x4. With less than two hours on the quad in total, I ended up 5th in my class and 5th overall. This won't be the last time you'll see me out there, and I plan on contending for a podium spot in the 4x4 pro class!”

Another Can-Am racer, Scott Day, would win the Overall Amateur, coming in sixth overall behind the big hitting 4x4 Pros. Day was able to take the lead a mile into the race and held it for five laps before dropping back to second for a few miles, only to pull through the mud hole and regain the lead position. He would stay there to the checkered flag. Day stated that, “my BNR suspension worked really good, and my GBC tires got my through the mud when I needed it, allowing me to retake the lead.” Day goes into the summer break leading the ultra fast and competitive A/B class by twenty seven points.

Scott Day claimed his 3rd win of the season in the highly competitive 4x4 A/B class, which extended his points lead

Less than two minutes behind Day, Ben Bruce would bring his Can-Am home in ninth overall, giving him a second in the Amateur Overall. Bruce is currently tied for second in the class with Brian Hulsey followed by Ronald Varndell.

Angel Knox would assume a familiar position at the top of the podium in the WXC class followed by Yamaha rider Kylie Ahart and Alicia McCormick on her Suzuki. Despite flipping her ATV, Knox had fun and was able to gap her competitors towards the end of the race. Said Knox, “This race throws anything and everything at you, but the Texeira tech and Axis Shocks combination were fantastic and did their job perfectly”.

Angel Knox claimed her 4th Women's WXC class win in a row & her 6th win of the season. She is currently third in the points race, but with only 9 rounds counting, she is on track to win the championship

Forrest Whorton won the 4x4 Senior class again, maintaining a healthy lead over Don Higbee and Bob Ousley, going into the break.
