GNCC Racing Resumes This Weekend at the Indy 100
ATV's and UTV's go head-to-head at new venue
Morgantown, W. Va (May 10, 2011) - After nearly a
month off, the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series returns to
racing this weekend, May 15 and 16, to the newly added Indy 100 location
in Gosport, Ind. This inaugural event will be co-sanctioned with the Mid America Cross Country Series,
allowing riders to receive points in both series. New for 2011, the
Indy 100 course gives all riders an equal opportunity to master the
freshly designed course this weekend.

key in the XC2 class this year with mostly seconds across the board, but
DeRisi Racing's Eric Hoyland sits only four points back heading into
the brand new Indy 100 this weekend. Ballance Racing's Walker Fowler
continues to dominate the XC2 field, even breaking into the top five
overall last round. Fowler is going to be tough to beat if he keeps the
pace he's been running this far.
This nationally televised event on the VERSUS network will also
feature round three of UTV racing on Saturday. The Polaris National
Guard team has swept the first two rounds of the Open Modified class and
currently holds the points lead heading into round three. Team
Hendershot and Coastal National Guard are tied at 11 points behind the
leader, while Can-Am's Nightkrawler Kustoms sit one point back in
fourth. UTV racing action begins at 4:30 p.m., following the ATV
afternoon race so be sure to check out the fastest side-by-side vehicles
