Strang Finds the GNCC Podium Again with Third Place Finish

The Liqui Moly Beta Race Team had a dramatic day at the John Penton GNCC in Ohio, with strong early speed and late-race determination from both Josh Strang and Jhak Walker. Jhak Walker was running exceptionally well, holding a solid third place for most of the race before suffering a freak problem on the final lap, which cost him significant time in the notoriously rugged Penton section. Meanwhile, Josh Strang, who was physically running fifth on the third lap, found his rhythm and showcased late-race determination to close the gap to the top three. His experience proved crucial on the final lap, where he executed a clever pass in that same Penton section, a decision that propelled him into podium position. Ultimately, Strang secured third place in the competitive XC1 Open Pro class.
