Buckwheat 100 GNCC Results Updated
T
he results from the October
10 Buckwheat 100 GNCC
were updated on Saturday, Octo-
ber 16, which has championship
implications.
Current runner-up in the cham-
pionship, Steward Baylor Jr.,
as well as 15 other riders, have
had their championship points
revised after it was deemed that,
on a section of the Buckwheat
100 racetrack, they exceeded
GNCC's 25-foot rule, which
allows riders to navigate freely
within 25 feet of the course mark-
ers. By going beyond the 25-foot
rule, these racers were docked
championship points, which is
costly for Baylor, who was trailing
Ben Kelley by just four points
going into this weekend's season
finale in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
Now, Steward is eight points
back, which means for Baylor to
win the title, he must win the race
and have Kelley finish either third
or worse. Prior to the penalty, it
would have been a straightfor-
ward winner-take-all battle for the
championship.

Steward Baylor Jr. and 15 other
racers have been penalized for
exceeding track limits at the
Buckwheat 100 GNCC.
