GGNCC Racing Goes Pink at Ironman GNCC
Morgantown, WV (9/16/2014) -
In just over a month's time, the 2014 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series presented by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship, will descend upon Crawfordsville, Indiana to celebrate 20 years of AMSOIL Ironman GNCC Racing. On October 25 and 26, the newly coined Ironman MX facility will play host to the GNCC season finale, which has once again been deemed a "pink race" in honor of October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The goal of Ironman's pink-effort is to raise awareness and funds locally for breast cancer care and research, while also bringing the GNCC Racing community together for a cause that transcends racing. The pink livery will make a dynamic contrast to the woods, hills and mud of the iconic Ironman GNCC.
