/ Can-Am's Cliff Beasley took his 28th
consecutive win in the U2 Class at Unadilla

Lewisburg, TN (9/13/2011) - UXC
Racing’s Cliff Beasley remained undefeated
after coming back from the summer break and taking
the U2 class win at round number nine of the 2011
GNCC series at Unadilla, while teammate Michael
Swift claimed a solid second in the 4x4 Open class.
Inclement weather in the North East caused
several changes to the track at Unadilla. The
course was shortened to cut out some of the
flooded and problem areas, making for about
a six lap race in the morning classes. There
was still a little mud in spots, but the track
began to dry out over the course of the race,
but the mud didn’t matter much to Cliff
Beasley as he charged off the start in the U2
class.
Beasley, who has been an unstoppable force
since making his U2 class debut in 2010, kept
his momentum going as he took the lead in his
class and also the overall lead in the first
lap. Beasley held the U2 class lead from start
to finish and claimed his 28th consecutive class
win, and finished in seventh overall with a
time of 02:04:13.

Can-Am's Michael
Swift took an early lead but unfortunatly
wrecked and placed second for the day
in the 4x4 Open Class
|
Michael Swift was looking good as he charged
off the start in second in the 4x4 Open class.
Swift was going for the lead but ended up crashing.
Luckily, Swift was not injured and he put the
hammer down and took the lead in lap two. Swift
and fellow racer Bryan Buckhannon were running
close for most of the race and swapped positions
for the lead several times until Swift ended
up with some issues after hitting a tree and
falling to second. Lap traffic also came into
play and held up Swift late in the race. Swift
tried to retake the lead, but the issues from
his earlier incident caused some handling issues
and he would have to settle for a second place
finish in his class. Swift’s drive and
determination allowed him to finish in fifth
overall in the morning classes with a time of
02:02:35.
“It was a hectic weekend for us. We had
to take a big detour to get to the track because
of all the flooding in the area, which put us
behind schedule, but Cliff took another win
and I was still able to finish in second, so
everything worked out ok in the end. I’m
looking forward to the next round because I
really like that track and I usually do well
in rough conditions, so I going to be going
for the win,” said Swift.
Mountain Ridge in Somerset, PA will play host
to round number ten of the 2011 GNCC series
on September 24th, where UXC Racing’s
Cliff Beasley and Michael Swift will both be
going for their class wins and a shot at the
overall podium.
