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.
