Todd Knippenberg almost didn't make it to the opening round of the GNCC event after he lost control of his Truck & Trailer while driving through the snow in West Virginia mountains.

His trailer was demolished in the accident and his truck was damaged to the point that he wouldn't be able to make the trip, so he called fellow pro rider, Andy Lagzdins, to ask for help.

Andy Lagzdins rerouted his trip to Texas, so he could pick up Todd Knippenberg and bring him to Texas.
