Morgantown, W.Va. (February 23, 2009) -- David Knight's return to Europe for the 2009 season puts the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Championship up for grabs, and next week a huge pack of factory-supported talent will begin the fight for it. The Parts Unlimited River Ranch GNCC in Lake Wales, Florida, takes place on Tuesday, March 3, and the best off-road talent in the world knows that race kicks off their best chance ever to conquer America's largest off-road series.
Knight's departure creates a big hole for the Red Bull KTM team he rode for, but the squad will remain in contention thanks to two well-proven talents. California's Kurt Caselli, the 2007 WORCS Champion, switches to the GNCC Series this year. His teammate, New York's Nathan Kanney already knows what winning feels like, as he took a dominant win at the final GNCC round last season.
