Team UXC Racing's
Cliff Beasley is unfeated with 4 wins
after Big Buck GNCC
|
Shelbyville, TN (4/14/2011) -
Round four of the 2011 GNCC series again saw impressive
performances by the UXC Racing team with Cliff
Beasley taking his fourth straight win of the
season in the U2 class and Michael Swift finishing
in a respectable second in the 4x4 Open class.
A rough track and warm weather were on tap at Big Buck in Union, SC but that
didn’t stop Cliff Beasley from dominating
the field in the morning U2 class. Beasley,
who was fighting off a bad case of stomach flu,
wasn’t about to let that get in the way
of his 23rd straight class win.
“I was sick all day on Friday and I
looked terrible when I got up to the line on
Saturday. Everyone thought they had me this
round, but as soon as that starting flag was
waved, it was on!” said Beasley, who grabbed
the U2 class holeshot and never looked back.
Beasley kept pushing hard and kept increasing
his lead with each lap.

Cliff Beasley won
the GNCC U2 ATV Class by over seven
minutes aboard his Can-Am Renegade ATV
|
The addition of an extra lap made it difficult
for many racers, but it only allowed Beasley
to put an even bigger gap between him and the
competition as he charged his way to the checkered
flag, taking the U2 win by over seven minutes.
Despite his impressive performance and even
more impressive record, Beasley remains humble.
“Having all those wins is great, but
all that matters is the next race. I’m
glad to do well for our sponsors and I’m
really looking forward to the next round at
Loretta Lynn’s. That’s our home
state and we have a lot of fans and family there,
so it should be a really good race for us,”
stated Beasley.

Michael Swift sits in first place in
the 4x4 Open ATV Class

In the 4x4 Open class, Michael Swift also overcame
his share of challenges for the day. It was
a rough start for the class with a lot of bumping
and grinding going on in the first couple of
corners that sent Swift back to fourth place.
However, Swift quickly charged ahead and took
over the lead by lap three. Swift led for three
laps, but a possible fuel filter issue began
to cause him grief. Swift held his lead until
lap five when he stopped in the pits, which
allowed Bryan Buckhannon to close the gap. Swift
kept going but a bottle neck allowed Buckhannon
to get by.
“I wanted to win but I am glad to save
points and still have that lead. I’m really
looking forward to Loretta’s. I really
like that track and I usually do well, so I
think it will be a really good race for both
Cliff and I,” stated Swift.
