Davis Wins Mountaineer GNCC
T
he Progressive Grand Na-
tional Cross Country (GNCC
Racing) Series, presented by
Specialized, took place over the
weekend of September 20-21 at
the Summit Bechtel Reserve in
Beckley, West Virginia, with the
Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Moun-
taineer GNCC.
FMF KTM Factory Racing's
Grant Davis delivered a flaw-
less performance, riding his way
to the overall victory and also
winning the XC2 250 Pro class.
Davis started strong and kept
his lead throughout. He now
leads the overall standings by
20 points and the XC2 standings
by 50 points. Flatrock Motorclub
GasGas Factory Racing's Jordan
Ashburn finished second overall
while securing the XC1 Open Pro
class win.
"I'm pumped," winner Davis
said. "I got a good start and
managed not to go down in turn
three this time, like I did at the
last race. Then Jordan [Ashburn]
was trying to make a quick move
on me, and I thought, 'I can't let
this happen today.' I put down
some fast laps and created a
gap, then maintained that mar
-
gin for the rest of the day."
Coming through to earn third
overall on the day was Rocky
Mountain Red Bear Kawasaki
Team Green's Nicholas DeFeo.
After a solid start to the race,
DeFeo found himself at the front
of the pack, running second in
class and third overall for most
of the race. DeFeo kept his posi
-
tion throughout the six-lap race.
FMF KTM Factory Racing's
Benjamin Kelley didn't get the
start he wanted and had to make
a late push to take second in the
XC1 Open Pro class and fourth
overall for the day, securing the
XC1 Open Pro-class National
Championship (based on overall
points) while also staying in the
hunt for the Overall National
