Lazer Star Lights congratulates our Can-Am racers’ results at The John Penton GNCC round in Ohio.
Last weekend was the most successful weekend of racing ever from the side-by-side racers. Kyle Chaney drove an outstanding race to earn the first GNCC UTV XC1 Modified class overall victory with the Can-Am Maverick 1000R X rs. There were six Can-Am side-by-side vehicles that finish inside the top 10 of the XC1 class and each earned at least one podium in every GNCC SxS class. - See more at: http://www.lazerstarlights.com/blog/lazer-star-lights-team-can-am-sweep-at-gncc-in-ohio/#sthash.8exEbXUF.dpuf

The Maverick 1000R worked awesome. I knew the speed and ability was there, we just needed some luck and we got it. I know that this will be the first of more wins,” said Chaney. “My setup is dialed in, so I am not changing anything heading into the Masontown GNCC.”
