Shelbyville, TN (4/26/2016) - Dry
and dusty seemed to be the theme for Round
4 of the GNCC race this past weekend at the
Big Buck Farm in Union, South Carolina. The
track was flat and fast which allowed racers
to open up their machines to maximum speeds
creating a dusty scene.

Kicking up a lot of dust this weekend was Team UXC/Polaris Factory Racers Kevin Trantham (#209) and Michael Swift (#202) in the Pro 4x4 Class on their Polaris Scrambler 1000XPs. The duo started off the front line mid pack and fought hard to work their way up to the front. With the dust so thick, visibility was almost zero at times.
Trantham and Swift battled to the very end coming across the finish line bumper to bumper. Trantham claimed a second place finish, while Swift took home third. “I am very proud that Kevin and I were on the podium together today. It was a hard fought battle and consistency is key for a long race season. Our Scott goggles were a critical factor in being able to see during the race today. A big thanks to all of our amazing sponsors,” stated Swift.
Swift and Trantham also piloted their Polaris RZR UTV’s in the XC1 Pro class on Saturday afternoon. Trantham claimed a 7th place finish in his Polaris RZR. Swift encountered a problem on the last lap dropping him back to 15th place out of 30.
