Battling Through Muddy Conditions
Babbitt’s Online/Monster Energy®/Kawasaki Team Green™ took on the sixth round of the GNCC series over the weekend at the famous Ironman MX facility in western Indiana. Overnight thunder and hail storms on Saturday left the 10.5-mile track soaked with plenty of mud bogs and water crossings for the No. 17 of Josh Strang and the No. 314 of Grant Baylor to contest, while defending XC-2 champion Lyndon Snodgrass was unfortunately unable to compete due to a lingering sickness.
The normally 1:00P.M. race was pushed back an hour due to the number of riders from the previous amateur race still stuck on the deteriorated course. Once the racing began, both XC-1 pilots Josh Strang and Grant Baylor suffered from bad starts and entered the muddy woods toward the back of the field. The two KX™450X aces picked their way through the treacherous course together on the first two laps before previous race winner Grant Baylor was involved in a crash that rendered his motorcycle unable to continue. Strang continued to lead his Team Babbitt’s/Monster Energy/Kawasaki through the field over the course of the eight-lap race to finish the event in fifth place.

Josh Strang
"To put it simply, I got worked out there. It's not for lack of trying from me or from the team, it was just a gnarly track that I could have and should have been better on. At the end of the day, I'm healthy and still happy to be racing dirtbikes. We will keep doing our work and look forward to getting some redemption."
Josh Strang
“This weekend was a fun test for me. The end result wasn't what I was anticipating but it felt good to see my riding continue improving with each round. The team and I are pleased with my performance this weekend, but we'll be back better prepared for the next round.”

Lyndon Snodgrass
"I had a tough go this weekend. Going into the race I could feel myslef coming down with some illness which ultimately had me feeling weak and fatigued during Sunday's race. I'm going to give my body time to rest and recover during this week so we can head into the next round ready to fight up front where I belong."
