In the third and final race, Stewart topped Nichols and Matt Goerke (Rockstar/Yamaha Canada). In the 250 SX class, Canadian riders dominated. Jess Pettis (British Co- lombia) finished first, ahead of American Lorgan Karnow (second) and Shawn Maffenbeier (British Colombia). CN NEW YORK GNCC CANCELLED T he September 15-16 round of the 2018 GNCC Series was canceled due to wet weather. The Parts Unlimited Black Sky GNCC was scheduled to be held in Harpursville but heavy rain during the week leading up to the race left the area impassable. According to GNCC Series director Tim Cotter, "In addi- tion to these adverse local weather conditions, the imminent weather challenges associated with Hurricane Florence, which is currently impacting the entire mid-Atlantic region of the East Coast, have combined to create conditions that simply won't allow us to conduct the Harpursville event as scheduled. Racer Productions and the AMA will work togeth- er to explore rescheduling opportunities, if possible." The GNCC Series will resume on September 29-30, with the Rocky Mountain ATV-MC Mason-Dixon GNCC , in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania. CN Heavy rain forced the cancellation of the Black Sky GNCC in New York. Colt Nichols, Stewart and Matt Goerke filled out the podium in the final race.
