2012 GNCC Racing Side-by-Side Schedule Announced
Six-Round UTV Series Returns to Popular GNCC
Locations
Morgantown, W. Va. (December 29, 2011) -
Racer Productions announces today the
Side-by-Side (UTV) racing schedule for the 2012
Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series. The
six-round UTV series kicks off Saturday, March
17 in Washington, Ga. at The General GNCC and
wraps up Saturday, October 20 at the crowd
favorite Ironman GNCC in Crawfordsville, Ind.
UTVs compete for one hour on a specially
designed course throughout the woods at select
GNCC events during the season. UTV competition
begins at 4:30 p.m., following the ATV racing
program on Saturday afternoon.
"The 2012 UTV
schedule is fairly similar to what we ran last
season," said GNCC Trail Boss, Jeff Russell. "By
adding the new West Virginia round and John
Penton, the UTV schedule is evenly spread
throughout the GNCC season and gives competitors
time in between rounds to prepare their
machines."
In addition to the two new
locations for 2012, UTV racers will return to
series favorites such as The General, Big Buck,
Powerline Park and Ironman. As part of GNCC
Racing's RacerTV package, highlights of
Side-by-Side racing will air on NBC Sports in
2012. Exact air times for RacerTV 's coverage of
GNCC Racing on NBC Sports will be available
after the first of the year.
