Morgantown, W.Va. (December 29, 2009) – For the tenth straight year, the highly popular Racer TV program will return with ATV and bike coverage for the 2010 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series. All 13 GNCC bike and ATV rounds, 26 races in total, will air on VERSUS in 30-minute episodes, totaling 52 hours of GNCC action. Each race will debut on Sunday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. EST and will re-air on Tuesdays at 5:00 p.m. EST. The first episode will feature The Parts Unlimited River Ranch ATV Premiere on April 25. The GNCC Series continues to be America’s only off-road series offering bike and ATV racing coverage on cable television.
“I’m really excited that our shows will be airing in a new time slot,” said RacerTV Producer Jason Hooper. “Our goal with RacerTV is to showcase the best off-road racers in the world to as many people as possible, and our later time slots will allow more people the opportunity to tune in.”
Along with Hooper, returning to the Racer TV production crew is Mike Holbert, a former GNCC pro-class racer on bikes and ATVs. Holbert has been a part of the GNCC TV team since the shows began airing in 2001. Brian Risch, who has worked for Gear Media’s TV Crew covering the AMA ATV Motocross Championship, is new to the crew this year.
This year’s shows will focus on the battle for the GNCC XC1 and XC2 pro class titles. On ATVs, Defending GNCC Champion Chris Borich will return to take on a deep field of tough competition like Taylor Kiser, Adam McGill, Bill Ballance and Bryan Cook. On the bike side, Defending GNCC Champion Paul Whibley will battle with Josh Strang and Charlie Mullins to attempt to take his second title in a row.
The 2010 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series kicks off on February 27- March 2 as part of Daytona Bike Week at the Westgate River Ranch Resort in River Ranch, Florida, with ATV’s racing on Sunday, February 28, and bikes racing on Tuesday, March 2.
