Knight Makes the Best of the Worst
Millfield, OH - Red Bull KTM rider David Knight made the best out of the worst as he battled his way into 4th place during the worst race conditions seen so far this season at the John Penton event that marked the 6th round of the GNCC Series.

Both riders swapped 2nd and 3rd position through the first two laps of the race. Unfortunately, Kanney’s day ended on the end of the third lap when his bike seized after too much water found its way into the airbox from the many creek crossings and hard rain fall the riders were dealing with throughout the day. Kanney’s early departure from the race still earned him 14th overall. Meanwhile, his teammate Knight, who was also slowed up by the mud, managed to finish 5 laps finishing 4th overall on a day when many managed not to finish at all. Now six rounds into the season, Knight still holds a commendable points lead.
