Bryan Buckhannon - GNCC Racing 4x4 Pro ATV Racer

The Mountaineer Run in Masontown, WV was a tough course with plenty of rocks, tight technical trails and even a few mud holes. The course was challenging, but weather conditions were favorable. Bryan Buckhannon, who was feeling a bit under the weather for this round, was ready for action and looking forward to the challenge.

Buckhannon charged his way into the early lead in lap one, but after dropping back a few spots, he remounted a charge and was once again challenging for the lead. “My Quad was working great out there and I was having a really good race and catching the leader. On the last lap, I was trying to close in and I took another line through a mud hole and ended up going over the bars. I gave it a handful of throttle and got back out, but I took a hard hit to the gut with the handlebars and that took a lot out of me, and I just couldn’t catch back up,” said Buckhannon.

Despite the mishap, Buckhannon was still able to finish within 22 seconds of the leader and hold on for a second place finish in his class and overall. Buckhannon has finished in the top three in his class at every round so far this season, giving him the points lead with a 20 point advantage. “Being able to finish well all season has certainly been an advantage and I am going to do my best to secure a few more wins before the end of the season and wrap up a championship,” said Buckhannon.

Bryan Buckhannon’s nephew, who is also Bryan Buckhannon, took home a top ten finish in the Supermini 12-15 class. “We put a CRF 150R engine in his Cobra frame for this race and it ran great. He was running in the top five early in the race, but his brake caliper came off and hit his exhaust and that caused him to fall back again, but we are trying to get things together for him and we are looking for him to do well at the John Penton, and hopefully be in the top five. This is his first year, so we are just trying to make sure he takes baby step and doesn’t get in over his head,” said Buckhannon.
