GBC's #8 Johnn Gallagher - Yamaha YFZ450R ATV |
Racing veteran and 2012 Sports Ambassador of the Year, Johnny Gallagher, will be returning on his Cernic’s backed Yamaha. Gallagher will be sporting the number eight on his Yamaha YFZ450R ATV which is the best number that he has represented in a few years.
Gallagher’s program is very much the same as last year. As always he is on GBC Tires, HMF Exhaust, FOX Shox and sporting Fly Racing gear. He will also have HMF’s new aluminum line, IQ, on his Yamaha. Gallagher worked closely with HMF to develop the product.

For 2013, Brian Wolf has switched from a Honda 450R ATV to a Yamaha YFZ450R ATV. Wolf will also be racing a Can-Am Maverick 1000 with his wife Annie |
Brian Wolf, who finished 11th last season, has changed everything about his program. He made the switch from a FRE backed Honda to a privateer Yamaha YFZ450R. Wolf has been working with GT Thunder to get his Yamaha ready for round one. Aside from racing the ATV, Wolf and his wife, Annie, will be racing a Can-Am Maverick in the UTV races.
New to the pro line this year is Gabe Phillips; Phillips’ move comes after a season ending injury last fall. The rookie has put in a lot of seat time over the past few months and spent time with Borich, Bithell and Gallagher in Florida. Phillips will make his Pro class debut on his Greg’s ATV backed Yamaha.
When asked what his goal is for his rookie season, Phillips simply responds, “Single digits.” It will be exciting to watch Phillips and the other Pro Rookies battle with best over the thirteen race season.

After finishing fourth in the GNCC XC2 Pro-Am Class in 2012, DeRisi Racing's #13 Eric Hoyland will be moving up to the GNCC XC1 Pro Class aboard his Honda 450R ATV |
There also will be several other new faces on the pro row with #13 Eric Hoyland making the move up to the pro class for 2013 along with #10 Braden Henthron. The opener will no doubt be exiting with such a talented pro line. The green flag will drop this Sunday, March 10th at 1:00 pm.
