CST’s Brycen Neal and Joel Hetrick dominated the competition at GNCC and ATV MX National Championship races this weekend.
This weekend was another in a series of triumphs for CST-sponsored athletes. In West Virginia, Brycen Neal kept up his dominance of this season’s GNCC, securing a thrilling win at Snowshoe Mountain, while in Illinois, Joel Hetrick remained undefeated in the 2024 ATV MX National Championship with victories in both motos at Round 7, Sunset Ridge.
Riding Pulse MXR tires, Hetrick took the top spot at Round 7 despite scorching temperatures, the result of a heat wave that has bedeviled much of the eastern half of the U.S. for the past week. He’s won both motos at every round to date this year and leads AT MX rankings by 47 points with a total of 325.
The win at Snowshoe was Neal’s seventh out of nine rounds and extends his lead in ATV XC1 standings to 51 points, for a total of 252. With just four rounds to go, his odds of taking a third GNCC championship continued to improve. Neal navigated the demanding Snowshoe course (including Howard’s Hole) with exceptional skill, overtaking his competition in the final laps. Reflecting on his triumph, he shared on Instagram, “We conquered the mountain!! Stoked to grab the W on one of the best @snowshoemtn tracks we’ve ever had! The fans were unreal this weekend!! The mountain never disappoints!!” His choice of Pulse HT tires proved crucial once again, providing optimal traction and durability on Snowshoe’s rugged terrain.
GNCC Round 10, the Buckwheat 100, is scheduled for August 30 – September 1 in Newburg, West Virginia, and ATV MX Round 8 will be held July 6-7 at Pleasure Valley Raceway in Seward, Pennsylvania.
