“The Wicked Bilt/ Can-Am was great today,” said
Plavi. “I’ve had some bad luck in the last couple
of races. I knew we had the speed and the machine,
but you have to have a little bit of luck to make
it happen. It all came together today.”
Coastal Racing’s Sean Bogdan, in just his second
year of XC2 competition, won a tight title chase
by finishing ahead of Michael Swift and within
the top five to keep Plavi from overtaking the
points lead.

“We played it conservative today,” said Bogdan.
“I had to stay ahead of Swift and Krcelich to
win the championship. Swift and I were battling
it out all day, and I just finished ahead of him
so that wrapped up the championship.”
In the XC3 Lites class, Kymco’s Dan McConnaughey
ran a consertive race to finish in the top five,
which was his first time finishing out of the
top three all season to secure the class championship
for Kymco ahead of Evetts Racing just three points
behind in the second spot.

The 2015 GNCC Racing season proved to be another
exciting year as SxS racing continues to grow
