Yamaha's Traci Cecco Wins Big Buck GNCC Women's Class
Big Buck GNCC - Round 4 - Union, SC - April 14, 2012

Traci Cecco - Yamaha YFZ450R ATV

Yamaha's Traci Cecco took her second win in the 2012 GNCC ATV racing season at the Big Buck GNCC

Cypress, CA (4/17/2012) - Aboard her YFZ450R, Yamaha’s Traci Cecco raced to her second win of the 2012 GNCC ATV season at the annual Big Buck event in Union, South Carolina on Saturday, April 14. In doing so, the multi-time Women’s class champion moves into a tie for the points lead with rival Angel Atwell in the grueling 13-race off-road series as she aims for a record ninth championship. Then in the afternoon XC2 Pro Am class, Matt Hanna added a third-place podium finish for Yamaha ahead of Yamaha-mounted Patrick McGuire and Blake Kramer, making it three YFZ450s in the top five. In XC1 Pro, Ballance Racing Yamaha’s Taylor Kiser grabbed the holeshot but experienced problems after one lap and did not finish. His teammate Walker Fowler also started strongly, but tangled with rival Brian Wolf early in the race and likewise suffered a rare DNF.

For her part, Cecco took command of the nearly two-hour long Women’s race early and led all four laps of the winding off-road course, which included a mix of woods, hills, rocks, mud, jumps and even water crossings. After grabbing the lead, she increased her advantage over Atwell to more than 18 seconds on the first lap, to nearly 30 seconds at the halfway point, and ultimately to a convincing 44 seconds at the checkered flag. In fact, so fast was Traci on her YFZ450R that she also finished third overall among more than 220 entries in 20 different classes in the morning event. The GNCC ATV series next heads to Park City, Ky. on April 28.
