GNCC Rnd 6, Powerline Park Highlights and Results

Video highlights recap from the mudfest Powerline Park GNCC, round six of the 2025 season – Steward Baylor takes victory ahead of Jordan Ashburn and XC2 class winner, Gus Riordan third overall.

The 2025 Progressive Grand National Cross Country Series has been a wet season of racing so far, and this past weekend at Powerline Park was no different. Four days of rain leading up to Sunday made the track a muddy mess, but it made for agood results for the Rocky Mountain Red Bear Kawasaki Team Green.

Steward Baylor grabbed the holeshot and led the group into the woods on his KX™450X. After a strong battle down to the finish, Baylor was able to take the win, his second of the year.

“I was surprised but stoked on the holeshot! I’ve only ever pulled two XC1 holeshots in my 12 years in the class. Getting out front early made a huge difference as I was able to keep my goggles and radiators clean. I made a few mistakes, but was able to pull it off at the end. It feels great to win again. I know I have a big gap to make up in the points race, but if I keep winning races, there’s still a shot at the championship. So that’s my plan,” said Baylor.

11th overall, Ben Kelley continues to leads the overall series points ahead of Grant Davis and Riordan.

Meanwhile Rachael Archer had a perfect AM race, pulling the holeshot and leading the entire race in the WXC class. She finished with an almost four-minute lead.

“It was a super fun day. The track was gnarly in some spots but actually pretty good in others. It feels great to get the points lead back going into this two-week break. I’m already looking forward to the next round,” said Archer.
