Neal, Hetrick Reign Over GNCC and ATVMX on CST Tires

CST’s sponsored athletes are riding roughshod over the competition so far this year, with Brycen Neal undefeated four rounds into the current GNCC presented by Specialized season and Joel Hetrick winning the ATVMX National Championship kickoff.

Neal’s Pulse HT tires have taken him to the top of the XC1 Pro podium at GNCC’s Big Buck, Wild Boar, The General, and just this past weekend, Camp Coker Bullet, giving him a 24-point lead in the rankings to date. Neal dominated Camp Coker Bullet from the start, taking the holeshot and then holding the lead through the finish line.

The Pulse HT is a known race-winner for athletes; featuring a proprietary soft compound, this tire was designed to perform even in the gnarliest conditions.

Riding Pulse MXR tires, Hetrick took first place at ATVMX Round 1 in Daytona, Florida, and racked up 23 points. Hetrick can count on Pulse MXRs for incredible traction, steering, cornering and durability, and the Pulse MXR’s two available rear compounds allow riders to be ready for hard or soft terrain. ATVMX racer Joel Hetrick.

GNCC’s next race, The Old Gray, is scheduled for April 13-14. Fans who can’t make the trip to Monterey, Tennessee, to see the race in person can still catch all the action online at RacerTV. ATVMX Round 2, Underground, is set for April 6-7 in Kemp, Texas.

Neal Takes Second GNCC XC1 Pro Championship on CST HT Pulse Tires

Neal Takes Second GNCC XC1 Pro Championship on CST HT Pulse Tires

 

Brycen Neal has done it again! Just like last year, he clinched his GNCC championship on CST’s Pulse HT tires. Neal locked down his title at the Kanati Tires GNCC Buckwheat 100, the next-to-last race on this year’s Progressive GNCC schedule.

A mechanical issue added some drama to his run: Neal made a pass and took the lead in the second lap until the problem sidelined him for several minutes. He and his team patched things up, and he went on to take 9th in XC1 Pro and 12th overall. His finish upped his year-to-date total to 266, giving him a 36-point lead and sealing his second straight championship.

“Mannnn what a day! Grabbed a great start and jumped into the lead on lap 1 and was able to get a gap and I was absolutely feeling awesome out there all day! Super bummed not to be able to finish that last lap ride in and bring home a win, we suffered a electrical problem but was able to scramble and get the bike back going again and make it to the finish to clinch the championship!! A BIG THANK YOU to all my sponsors and crew who keeps me going!” Neal said on Instagram.   

Neal isn’t the only CST-sponsored athlete to win it all in a major series this year. Joel Hetrick took his fourth AMA Pro Racing AMT MX championship (his second on CST tires) this summer, and Beau Baron went into his final WORCS race this past weekend on track to take his next title.

CST is proud to be the tire of choice for ATV champions.

Riding CST’s Pulse HT tires, Brycen Neal won his first-ever GNCC Racing Overall ATV National Championship at the last race of the season, the Ironman. The event was held October 22 in Crawfordsville, Indiana.

Although the season’s points race ended in a tie (both Neal and another athlete had 325), Neal’s eight wins put him over the top to take the title. “What a year and a season it was for us, I’m so happy to bring this home for all of my family, friends & great sponsors who keep this program rolling!!” he said on Instagram.

The Pulse HT tires Neal rode throughout the season were literally made for competition: they were designed using the input of some of CST’s best athletes. Equipped with a proprietary soft compound, the Pulse HT performs in a wide range of terrains and conditions.

Neal’s GNCC championship is just the latest major win for a CST-sponsored athlete. Six-time WORCS champion Beau Baron is on track to take a seventh championship with a 44-point lead, and in August, Joel Hetrick took his third ATV MX Pro-class Championship riding CST’s Pulse MXR tires.

Third Straight GNCC Win for Brycen Neal at Hoosier

 

With just three races left in the season, Brycen Neal is holding onto his overall GNCC points lead via his latest victory. Neal outperformed his competition at the Hoosier, held May 7 at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana.

 

Neal (Magna1 Motorsports) was close behind the lead rider on the first lap, gained the lead with a pass in Lap 2 and then held his position through to the finish line. His win at the Hoosier was his third consecutive GNCC victory and fourth in the season’s six races. “It was a killer weekend of @gncc_racing! Was able to bring home the win and make it 3 in a row!” he said on Instagram. As he has throughout this wildly successful season, Neal chose CST Pulse HT tires to take him to victory.

With his third win of the season, Brycen Neal has grabbed the lead in GNCC standings. Neal took a hard-won victory at Round 5, Camp Coker Bullet, held April 9 in Society Hill, South Carolina. 

 

He might not have started in first place, but by the third lap, Neal and his CST Pulse HT tires had caught up to the lead athlete. He traded the front spot repeatedly before a pass in the last lap gave him the lead for good.

Neal (Magna1 Motorsports) has appeared on the podium at every race this year, with three victories plus second and third-place finishes to his credit. The five points he earned at Camp Coker Bullet gave him the series’ overall lead with 136 points

 

“Camp Coker finally treated us good this year, we grabbed the W & had a absolute blast out there! Gotta give this one up to my team, I got such great people around me ready to get after it next round!” he said on Instagram.

Brycen Neal Is the Apex Predator at GNCC Tiger Run

Brycen Neal Is the Apex Predator at GNCC Tiger Run


If ATV athletes have a lucky course, then Big Buck Farm is that track for Brycen Neal (Magna Motorsports). After winning the 2022 GNCC kick-off at the Union, South Carolina site, Neal returned to take his second victory of the season there at Round 4, the Tiger Run.

 

Riding CST Pulse HT tires just as he did for his February win, Neal spent the second lap of the Tiger Run trading the front spot with another rider. He then took the lead for good, increasing his margin to nearly 12 seconds by the finish line. With two podiums in addition to his victories, Neal is a strong second in points, just four away from first place. His results are all the more impressive in light of the knee injury he suffered last year, which required surgery and kept him out of action for eight months.

“Pumped to bring home the W this weekend at the Tiger Run @gncc_racing can’t thank all the people in my corner enough for the continued support week in and out! Ready for more racing!” Neal said on Instagram.

After starting in fifth place, Neal worked his way to second by the second lap in at GNCC Wild Boar. He stayed close to the rider in front for the rest of the race, finishing less than a second behind to take the second-place spot on the podium. “Brought home a P2 on the weekend down here in Florida!” he commented on Instagram. “I’m pumped on the finish for riding in OH all winter long, the heat was tough on me yesterday but we battled for the lead all day down to the finish! Next up GA, let’s get it!”

Brycen Neal Wins GNCC Season Kick-off in First Race Back after Injury

Brycen Neal Wins GNCC Season Kick-off in First Race Back after Injury

 

After a devastating knee injury kept him away from racing for more than eight months, Brycen Neal’s return to the GNCC alone would have been reason to celebrate. But in a scenario straight out of a movie, Neal took the victory at that first race, winning the VP Racing Fuels Big Buck GNCC Round 1 in Union South Carolina.

 

Fifth away from the starting line, Neal worked his way to third by the third lap, with only .4 seconds separating him from the front runners. Riding neck-and-neck with the other riders for most of the final lap, Neal gained an advantage in the final corners to take the win.

 

Neal’s injury at a GNCC race in May 2021 required surgery the following month to repair his ACL and meniscus, and his Instagram post after the race reflected his joy at getting back to competition. “Words can barely describe this one. After eight and a half months off of racing, I’m so pumped to grab the win at my first GNCC race back! It’s been such a long grind to get back to this point to compete. But I’m excited for the weeks ahead to get back to work and improve,” he said. “After not racing for that long I made some silly mistakes and I’m still not where I want to be, but I’m just so dang happy to be racing again! I appreciate the love and support of everyone. It was so great to see everybody at the races again! Onto the next one.”

 

He was almost as thrilled with his CST tires. “Couldn’t have done it today without my Pulse HTs!” said Neal. The Pulse HT was designed with input from CST’s athletes and is versatile enough to hook up in almost any terrain.

 

The next GNCC Presented by Specialized race, the Moose Racing Wild Boar, is scheduled for March 5-6 in Palatka, Florida.

Neal Wins Again on Pulse Tires; Baron, Richards Win at WORCS Round 4

Brycen Neal racked up his third win of the season at GNCC Round 6, the Hoosier, held May 1 in Crawfordsville, Indiana.

Neal (Bneal Motorsports/CST Tires/Houser Racing) moved steadily forward from the middle to take the lead in the third lap. He held the front spot through the rest of the race. His Pulse front and Pulse HT rear tires carried him across the finish line with a 39-second margin of victory. Even though mechanical problems caused him to finish just outside the top ten in the season’s second and fourth races, Neal currently holds third place in XC1 Pro standings.

In other good news for CST, six-time champion Beau Baron leads WORCS’ Pro ATV standings after winning his third race of the season, ATV/SXS Round 4, held April 9-11 in Taft, California. After starting in second place, he gained the lead on the second lap and never let it go.

Brandy Richards remains undefeated for the season in WORCS Women Pro, taking her latest victory despite a crash which injured her wrist during the race. Again, proving that it takes more than an injury to keep her down, she went on to take second place in Pro Am the following day. WORCS motorcycle Round 6 was held April 16-18 in Taft, California. 

GNCC Round 7, the John Penton, is scheduled for May 22-23 in Millfield, Ohio. WORCS’ next ATV/SXS round is scheduled for June 4-6, and the next motorcycle round is scheduled for June 11-13, both in Preston, Idaho.

Neal Comes from Behind to Take GNCC Kick-off Win, Richards Wins WORCS Women Pro MC

Overcoming a disastrous start, Brycen Neal took his CST Pulse and Pulse HT tires first across the XC1 Pro finish line at the GNCC opener, the VP Racing Fuels Big Buck in Union, South Carolina. 

Neal worked steadily after his starting-line mishap, holding third place through most of Lap 1. Several passes into Lap 2, he gained the lead and held it for the remainder of the race, earning a five-point lead in Pro class rankings.

Both the Pulse and Pulse HT were ideal choices for the Bug Buck: The Pulse allows for confident steering with knobs that bite, and the Pulse HT hooks up in almost any terrain. 

In other good news for CST, Brandy Richards won her second straight Women Pro race at Round 2 of WORCS, while Beau Baron followed up his victory at the season kick-off with a strong performance at Round 2. Baron took fourth place at the season’s second race, held in Peoria, Arizona.

McGill Wins GNCC Round 4

McGill Wins GNCC Round 4

 

Quick thinking and a well-timed pass helped McGill Mafia/CST Tires/Moose Racing’s Adam McGill gain his first GNCC victory of the season. McGill won Round 4, FMF Steele Creek, held April 7 in Morganton, North Carolina.

McGill and his fellow racers contended with heavy rain and the resulting muddy, rutted course for much of the race. But even though traction was at a premium, his CST Pulse tires performed when it counted. When a slick downhill section caused problems for the two front riders, McGill made a pass that gave him the lead, and he never looked back.

Despite losing his goggles during the race, Bneal Motorsports/CST Tires/Houser Racing’s Brycen Neal turned in a good performance, taking fourth place. Neal is currently second in points for XC1 Pro.

After a fierce battle with another rider throughout the race, Layne McCormick won the Youth race. The win was also his third in a row for YXC1 Super Mini Sr. (13-15).

After three rounds, he holds second place in points for the class.

 

Adam McGill had a difficult day but demonstrated grit and determination in finishing the race. Despite severe blisters on his hands which made steering next-to-impossible, he managed a top-ten finish, earning eighth place. McGill is currently fifth in XC1 points.

CST’s returning stars include nine-time WORCS champion Beau Baron, who will compete in WORCS Pro ATV and Pro SxS, as well as Quad Cross and the Big 6 series in 2018. Adam McGill, who rode CST to fifth place overall in GNCC’s Pro class and appeared on the podium seven times in 2017, will work to leave his competition in the dust in the GNCC, IXCR ATV Pro Overall, and WEXCR Pro Overall. No stranger to the ATVMX podium, Thomas Brown will compete in that series’ Pro class, plus Pont de Vaux and QXON.

Desert racer Cory Sappington will again compete in both Best in the Desert and the SCORE-International series. Like his new teammates Swift and Trantham, Dwight Pollard is scheduled to race in GNCC’s 4×4 Pro class. Pollard will also compete in the series’ XC3 SxS class, as well as the Heartland Challenge, Mid East, SORCS, and IXCR. Sean Bogdan will compete in GNCC UTV XC1 Pro, and Justin Wood will race the series’ 4×4 Senior A class.

Racing motorcycles for CST will be Mitch Anderson. Among Mitch’s accomplishments during the past year was a team victory at the John Burr 10 Hours of Glen Helen.

CST is proud to welcome all of its riders to its strongest ATV roster yet, and looks forward to cheering them on to victory throughout the year.
