Banner Year in GNCC ATV Racing for GBC Motorsports
Johnny Gallagher, Bryan Cook,
Eric Hoyland, Kristen Atwell, and More..
Anaheim, CA (12/14/2011) - A trend
became evident at the recent Grand National Cross
Country series awards banquet held in Morgantown,
WV on December 2nd. As rider after rider stepped
up to the microphone to talk about their 2011 season,
many of the top finishers uttered the phrase, “I’d
like to thank GBC Motorsports.”
Building off of a successful year in 2010, the
team at GBC Motorsports hand-picked some of the
best riders in the GNCC series to campaign their
products in 2011. Earning seven of the Top 20
Overall positions in year-end points, including
five class championships, it is clear that GBC
Motorsports continues to be a force to be reckoned
with.

New to the team for 2011, Bryan Cook led the
way for GBC by earning a podium at Snowshoe, several
top 5 finishes, and #9 for 2012. Kevin Yoho turned
many heads in his first season of XC1 competition
and his consistency has earned him a place in
the top 10 as he prepares for his sophomore season
with the #10 on his machine.

GBC riders Jeff Pickens, Eric Hoyland, Johnny
Gallagher, Aarol Bright, and Parker Jones each
earned enough overall points to land themselves
within the Overall Top 20 on the season.
Forrest Whorton’s 45+ Utility class championship,
on the strength of twelve race wins, made him
one of the most dominant riders in this year’s
series. Nathan Hornacek led the Junior B class
from the early rounds of competition and sealed
his class championship a full three races early.
Garon Davis used his experience and trail savvy
to outlast his younger competitors in the Sport
class to compile six race wins and the class championship.

the tally of top performers who chose to compete
with GBC Motorsports tires.
