2012 GNCC Series Dates Announced

Morgantown, W. Va. (November 17, 2011) - Racer
Productions is pleased to announce the 2012 Can-Am Grand National Cross
Country Series dates. America's largest off-road racing series will
once again kick off its 13-round schedule in Florida, coinciding with
Daytona Bike Week, March 10-13, and wrapping up at Loretta Lynn's Ranch
in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. November 3 and 4 for a unique fall
finale-consisting of motorcycle racing on Saturday and ATV racing on
Sunday.

"In
order to avoid scheduling over top the historical ISDE in September, we
have pushed the final round into November again, running the bikes on
Saturday so they can also participate in the National Enduro finale,"
said Trail Boss Jeff Russell. "As a former ISDE competitor and National
Enduro champion, nobody understands the importance of these events more
than myself," said Trail Boss Jeff Russell.

Next
year's schedule brings back several racer-favorite venues that will run
in their usual time slots, with the addition of a few brand new
locations for 2012. Snowshoe Mountain will play host to America's
toughest off-road race once again on June 23 and 24 in Snowshoe, W. Va.,
which traditionally serves as a mini vacation for GNCC Racing families
amongst the mountain's spectacular amenities.

"We've
listened to feedback from the GNCC community and decided to add fresh
venues to the circuit next year. While all 13 locations have not been
officially finalized, we're confident that these changes will add an
element of excitement for both racers and fans," added Russell.

The
GNCC task force is working hard to finalize the last couple locations
for 2012 and they will be announced before the GNCC Awards Banquet in
December. In the meantime, it's important to release race dates in order
to plan for next season.

The
2011 GNCC Champions and top ten class finishers will be honored at this
year's GNCC Awards Banquet December 2 and 3 in Morgantown, W. Va. at
the Waterfront Place Hotel and Convention Center. The top 10 ATV/UTV
racers in each class will receive awards on Friday, December 2 and the
bikes will celebrate on Saturday, December 3. Dinner begins at 6 p.m.
each night and advanced reservations are required. For more information

About GNCC Racing

The
Can-Am Grand National Cross Country series is America's premier
off-road racing series. Founded in 1979, the 13-round championship is
produced exclusively by Racer Productions. Cross-country racing is one
of the most physically demanding sports in the world. The grueling
three-hour GNCC races lead as many as 1,500 riders through tracks
ranging in length from eight to 12 miles. With varied terrain, including
hills, woods, mud, dirt, rocks and motocross sections, GNCC events are
tests of both survival and speed. Riders compete for more than $3
million in prize money, which draws talent from all over the U.S.,
Europe, Australia and New Zealand. GNCC Racing is televised and airs
every week on the Versus Network. For more information, please visit www.gnccracing.com.
