ROUND 1 / FEBRUARY 19-20, 2022
BIG BUCK FARM / UNION, SOUTH CAROLINA
P70
OFF-ROAD I GRAND NATIONAL CROSS-COUNTRY SERIES
I had another crash. I pushed
hard again in the second lap to
find a groove, but the first three
laps were horrible about crash-
ing and then I lost them for all
the race. I figured out how to
just find a good pace and in the
last two laps I felt really good so,
it's a new thing for me. I have to
learn many things, but the most
important thing is that I enjoy it."

"My first GNCC was a cool
experience," said Garcia. "The
start went pretty good, but I had
a big crash in the beginning of
the race, and I was dead last. I
tried to come back to the front

Long. The AmPro Yamaha rider
was also top-finishing XC2 250
Pro rider.
"It's been a long road," said
Witkowski. "Last year was really
rough on me. I worked my butt

day. I want to be smart this year
and keep the momentum going
and see where it takes me. I
think I have it this year."
