In GNCC ATV competition on Sunday, Patrick McGuire won the XC2 Pro Am title with a fifth-place finish aboard his YFZ450R. Adding an emotional finale was Traci Cecco, the nine-time GNCC ATV champion, who finished her historic racing career with a win in the Women’s class aboard her YFZ450R, further polishing her 2012 championship.
After evening rain showers, the MX track and trails on the Loretta Lynn property were primed and ready for ATV racing on Sunday. The morning race was all Yamaha as Dave Simmons took both the Super Senior (45+) class and the overall win to cap a perfect season on his YFZ450R. Also in the hunt was Cecco, enjoying her final professional race after more than a decade of success in GNCC. After some competition from season-long rival Lexie Coulter early, Cecco gapped the field after Coulter encountered difficulties on lap two. She then ran the rest of the race her way, building an advantage of over a minute at the halfway point, and finally cruised to a 24-sec. victory at the end of two hours of racing. Making the day even better for Yamaha, Taylor Kiser and Walker Fowler finished 2-3 in the last XC2 Pro Am ATV race of the season.
