Minneapolis, MN (6/12/2015)
- Team UXC Racing’s Michael Swift would
make it two-in-a-row by taking the win in the Pro
4x4 class, on his Scrambler 850, at GNCC’s John
Penton, in Millfield, OH this past weekend.
Pro 4x4 teammates Swift and Kevin Trantham worked
their way into position through lap one. Trantham
suffered a drive belt issue pulling him from the
race. Swift swapped positions a couple of times
for second and then took advantage of a line in
the woods to make a clean pass for the lead. After
receiving the white flag, he utilized the superior
handling of his Polaris Scrambler 850 to place
a buffer between him and second place before entering
the last mile of the race consisting of the motor
cross section. Swift was able to hold the lead
for his third Pro 4x4 Class win of the 2015 GNCC
season.
