Thad Duvall Seeks Second Straight Victory at Camp Coker Bullet GNCC

As the series continues, FMF/KTM Factory Racing's Josh Toth has been showing progression in his first year of racing XC1 Open Pro. Toth broke into the top five overall at the previous round and is aiming to improve each weekend from there.  

Trail Jesters KTM's Ben Kelley continues to lead the way in the XC2 250 Pro class. Kelley has earned the three-straight wins, and this weekend he will be looking to keep that streak alive. Kelley is also looking to break into overall podium contention, and after finishing third overall at two rounds last year he has the confidence to do so.

Babbitt's Online/Monster Energy/Kawasaki Jordan Ashburn and teammate, Josh Strang, finished seventh and eighth overall two weeks ago at the Steele Creek GNCC in North Carolina. The Kawasaki duo is hoping to battle at the front of the pack this Sunday, and hopefully contest for finishes inside the top five overall.

Trail Jesters KTM/MCS Racing/SSR Rider Development Johnathan Girrior and Beta USA Factory Racing's Michael Witkowski rounded out the top 10 overall, but both are looking to put Kelley's XC2 250 Pro class success to a stop.

The FMF XC3 125 Pro-Am class is currently being led by Beta USA Factory Racing's Cody Barnes. Following Barnes in second is Trail Jesters KTM's Jesse Ansley and Highland Temp Works/Offroad Riding Schools/Maxxis' Jason Thomas in third. Barnes has earned the win at the past two races, however Ansley and Thomas are hungry for the win as the series heads into its fourth round.  

The event will also treat fans to a live concert, as Monster Energy proudly presents AJ Sanders at the Camp Coker Bullet GNCC on Saturday, April 13th at 8 p.m. Admission to the concert is included with your gate admission purchase.
