Can-Am ATV Racers Win at GNCC
Round 6 & TQRA Round 5
Team UXC / Can-Am's Cliff Beasley Wins U2 GNCC
Class at Limestone GNCC
Valcourt, Québec (5/16/2012)
- Can-Am® X-Team racers earned four 4x4 class
overall wins at the inaugural Limestone 100 in the
Can-Am / Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) series
event and also won both the Pro and Pro-Am classes
at round five of the Texhoma Quad Racing Association
(TQRA) series. Can-Am ATV and Commander® side-by-side
racers also competed In the World Off-Road Championship
Series in Southern California.
“Can-Am
racers had a busy weekend with mixed results.
We competed in three different racing series in
three different states. Chris Bithell put in a
good effort to finish fourth after he started
the Pro class race at the back of the pack at
the Limestone GNCC,” stated Jimmie O’Dell,
Race Manager, Can-Am. “Our Can-Am 4x4 racers
tamed the new course, as Bryan Buckhannon, Cliff
Beasley and Forrest Whorton each posted convincing
wins their classes. In the WORCS series, Dillon
Zimmerman put in another top-five performance
on his Can-Am DS 450 while Josh Frederick salvaged
a top-10 finish and still sits second in the points
chase. And in Texas, Hunter Miller had a great
weekend in the TQRA series winning two classes
and finishing third on the UTV Pro class podium.”

Ind. Bryan Buckhannon edged Team UXC / Can-Am

in the points lead. I can’t say I’m
going to relax though, because the competition
is still really tough and I want to win as many
rounds as I can,” said Buckhannon.
