Lewisburg, TN (9/28/2011) - It
was a phenomenal weekend for the UXC Racing team
as Cliff Beasley clenched his 29th consecutive
win and wrapped up the 2011 GNCC U2 class championship,
while Michael Swift topped the morning podium
and took the 4x4 Open win at Mountain Ridge, helping
to extend his points lead.
Round number ten of the 2011 GNCC series saw
a great weather and a challenging track in Somerset,
PA. The Mountain Ridge facility is known for
its long fast section, but it is also known
for its incredibly rocky and tough terrain in
other spots, but the UXC Racing team prevailed
with a very successful weekend that included
wins all around.
Cliff Beasley, who has remained undefeated
in his class, took his 29th consecutive win
at Mountain Ridge and wrapped up the 2011 U2
class championship. Beasley grabbed the U2 class
holeshot and led from start to finish, taking
his class win by over seven minutes with a time
of 01:59:26, that also put him in fourth overall
for the day. “I’m really happy to
bring home a championship for our team and for
all of our sponsors. This has been a great season
for me and I hope it continues to be. I had
a good time out there and now the pressure is
off of me, so I am really looking forward to
the final rounds. I’m still going out
there to win, but it will also be a lot of fun,”
said Beasley.

Michael Swift also had a stellar run in the
4x4 Open class. Swift took the lead in the first
lap and began to pull away from the competition.
Swift, who has always shined in the rough and
technical tracks did not disappoint as he charged
his way through the rocks and mud. “It
was really rough out there, but I like the rough
stuff and I was able to keep my lead,”
said Swift.

Open Class & the morning Overall.

Swift took a beating on the track, but he still
finished over 30 seconds ahead of his nearest
competitor to not only take the 4x4 Open class
win at the checkered flag, but also the overall
win to top the morning podium. “I really
have to thank Ricochet Skid Plates. They held
up great even with all the rocks. I also have
to thank my pit crew. They worked really hard
and got me in and out really quick,” said
Swift, who is the 4x4 Open class points leader.
The UXC Racing team would also like to extend
a special thanks to Evans Racing Coolant for
coming out and supporting us. It was great to
have them attend this event and we hope they
will be able to join us again soon!
Round eleven of the 2011 GNCC series will be
heading to Power Line Park in St. Clairsville,
OH on October 8th, where the UXC Racing team
will be going for the podium once again.
