GNCC Live coverage began on March 8 and 9 with the opening weekend of the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series presented by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship, in Bunnell, Fla. RacerTV broadcast a combined six hours of live coverage from the Mud Mucker GNCC between the ATV and Bike pro races, both airing at their respective 1 p.m. ET start time on RacerTV.com. The archived shows from the Mud Mucker GNCC are available online: ATV / Bike.

Just one day after the GNCC season opener, RacerTV.com broadcast five and a half hours of live racing from the Monster Energy Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross (RCSX). Covering 51cc classes all the way to Vet, WMX and Pro Sport classes, Monday’s show encompassed a wide spectrum of racing from the historic Daytona International Speedway.

“RacerTV continues to grow its live and archived online programming, allowing race enthusiasts to simply log in and see the action as it unfolds at premier ATV and motorcycle events all over the country, said RacerTV Project Manager, Tim Crytser. “RacerTV also allows each event to live beyond the checkered flag as every bit of coverage remains archived on RacerTV.com and is available at the click of a mouse.”
