TurnKey UTV’s Kyle Chaney grabbed the holeshot on the front row of the XC1 Pro SxS class and held the physical lead from start to finish. “I started on the front row. My Maxxis tires hooked up great, and I ended up getting the holeshot. We were pressured for the whole race, so I just tried to keep it smooth the first couple of laps because it was so rocky and technical, but our Fox Shocks did their job and handled it,” said Cheney.

On the Final lap, Larry Hendershot, Jr. closed gap, but Chaney held his lead and took the win. “We ended up with our second GNCC win in a row and are now on top of the GNCC XC1 Pro Points, so we are pretty excited about that,” said Chaney.

Larry Hendershot, Jr. claimed his second consecutive podium finish in the XC1 Pro SxS class. Hendershot, Jr. was in second early in the race and was following Kyle Chaney closely. “I was right behind Kyle for most of the race. I showed him a wheel a few times, but that track was rough and you had to be really careful choosing your lines. We tried to pick the safest lines and still be fast,” said Hendershot, Jr.

Hendershot, Jr. challenged for the lead a couple of times, but he could not make a pass stick and reached the finish line in second place. “My JB racing Can-Am was awesome out there. I have 100% confidence in the car and in myself. I know if the car is there we are going to finish well. It was a tough track, but our car handled it great, and it was a lot of fun. We are second in points, and I would like to be the one to bring JB Racing their first championship,” said Hendershot, Jr.
