2011 GNCC Welcomes
8-Time Champion Barry Hawk to Event Team
ATV & Dirtbike GNCC Champion
to Help Design and Construct GNCC Courses
Morgantown, WV (2/22/2011) -
GNCC Racing is proud to welcome 8-Time Champion
Barry Hawk to the 2011 event team. Hawk is the
only rider in GNCC history to hold a championship
title in both the bike and ATV disciplines.
Hawk will assist with the design and construction
of the GNCC courses alongside Trail Boss Jeff
Russell and Buren Hamrick.
"Looking forward to working with Barry this
year," said GNCC Trail Boss Jeff Russell.
"With his experience on both ATV's and motorcycles,
Barry will bring a racer's perspective to both
sides of the GNCC program."
Barry retired from professional racing in the
fall of 2010 after 22 years of involvement in
the sport. With 7 ATV Championships under his
belt and one on the bike, Hawk has established
himself on both sides of the GNCC podium.
"I'm really glad to have the opportunity
to stay involved with GNCC Racing since I've been
a part of it for such a long time. I'm a big fan
of the series and I'm happy to be able to give
back to the sport I love after all these years
of racing," said the 8-Time Champion.
The 2011 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
Series kicks off with the Moose Racing Westgate
