Va. on November 22 and 23 to celebrate the 2013 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country season. The Waterfront Place Hotel and Convention Center once again provided a stellar setting for this year's GNCC Awards Banquet, as the top ATV racers were honored in front of over 600 people on Friday evening, while nearly 600 more attended Saturday evening's ceremony to honor the top motorcycle racers in the series.

Each evening kicked off at 5:30 p.m. with dinner and opening ceremonies. The top 10 racers in each championship class were then honored on stage, in addition to a handful of specialty awards and recognition of series sponsors and supporters. Several thousand dollars worth of contingency awards were distributed to the top 5 finishers in each class and additional door prizes were raffled off to racers throughout the evening.
