GNCC Racing
Television Returns to Versus Network in 2008
Morgantown, WV (2/20/2008)
- Racer Productions and Gear Marketing
and Media announced today that the Can-Am Grand
National Cross Country (GNCC) Series will return
to the Versus Network for 2008. All 26 rounds
of GNCC action (13 bike events and 13 ATV events)
will air in weekly 30-minute shows, beginning
August 2 at 3 p.m. Now entering its eighth season
on cable television, and the fourth season of
production with GMMI, the GNCC Series remains
the only American off-road motorcycle and ATV
racing series to air weekly cable telecasts.
Episodes will be telecast every week, even though
the actual GNCC racing schedule includes a two-month
summer break. The scheduling is designed to make
it easier for new fans to follow the series. GNCC
TV will air every Saturday at 3 p.m. and re-air
every Thursday at 4 p.m.
GNCC TV is part of the Racer TV production package,
which also includes the ITP/Moose ATVA National
Motocross Series Presented by Parts Unlimited.
The ATVA MX rounds begin airing on August 4. Racer
TV represents a collaboration between GNCC Series
Producer Racer Productions and Gear Media and
Marketing (GMMI), a television production company
headquartered in Grove City, Pa.
The GNCC TV episodes are hosted by Jason Weigandt,
also host of the popular Supercross Live! Webcasts
on www.supercrossonline.com, and the Racer X Motocross
Show on Motocross.com. New recruit "Hurricane"
Hannah Reid will join Weigandt for the telecasts.
Reid, the granddaughter of American off-road pioneer
John Penton, grew up around the series and will
add an exciting new perspective to each show.
The 2008 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series
kicks off with the Triton GNCC in Melbourne, Fla.
on March 1-4. ATVs will practice on Saturday,
March 1, and race Sunday, March 2. Bikes will
practice on Monday, March 3, and race Tuesday,
