Team UXC Racing Wins Again at GNCC Round 8
Swift Takes Win on Scrambler 850
Minneapolis, June 11, 2015– Team UXC Racing’s Michael Swift would make it two-in-a-row by taking the win in the Pro 4×4 class, on his Scrambler 850, at GNCC’s John Penton, in Millfield, OH this past weekend.
Pro 4×4 teammates Swift and Kevin Trantham worked their way into position through lap one. Trantham suffered a drive belt issue pulling him from the race. Swift swapped positions a couple of times for second and then took advantage of a line in the woods to make a clean pass for the lead. After receiving the white flag, he utilized the superior handling of his Polaris Scrambler 850 to place a buffer between him and second place before entering the last mile of the race consisting of the motor cross section. Swift was able to hold the lead for his third Pro 4×4 Class win of the 2015 GNCC season.
Team UXC rider Don Higbee battled hard all day on the 10-1/2 mile track, swapping positions many times. After the two hour race, Higbee claimed the top spot taking his second 40+ 4×4 Class win.
Team UXC Racing would also be represented at the first Round of the TORN season by Chris Robinson and his Scrambler XP 1000 EPS. Robinson would take an impressive second place finish for a solid start to the season.
The next GNCC race is the Snowshoe, at Snowshoe Mountain Resort, in Snowshoe, WV, June 20-21. This is the last race before the summer break. The next TORN race is the June 27-28.
