2008 GNCC Racing - Round #13 "Ironman" Live ATV Race Coverage

Crawfordsville, IN (10/24/2008) - After another exciting year of GNCC ATV Racing, the season finale at the Ironman will conclude the 2008 racing season on Saturday. Several championship have already been decided with Yamaha's Bill Ballance (XC1) & Donald Ockerman (XC2) already wrapping up the championship and many other classes have also been wrapped up as well, but there are a few battles that will come down to the final round, and the most exciting will be between Traci Cecco & Angel Atwell as they fight for the class championship.

Also, KTM's XC1 Bike Champion, David Knight, will be competing on a KTM 525XC in the ATV Pro Class, which will be exciting to see how well he does on four wheels because he is a dominate force on 2 wheels.

Unfortunately, it rained into the morning on Friday, and it is raining again Friday night, so the morning races will be brutal for both racers and fans.

With the GBC Motorsports Heartland Challenge Race just 2 weeks away, Michael Swift already has his Can-Am Outlander ready for the 10 Hour race with $7,500 up for grabs for the winners in both the Pro Utility & Pro Sport ATV on Saturday November 8th.

Youth results are in!
