Josh Toth is establishing himself as one of the rising talents in Grand National Cross Country Series (GNCC) racing. The young AmPro Yamaha rider has seized the top podium spot in each of the first three rounds of the GNCC XC2 Class.

Round 1: Big Buck – Union, South Carolina

Toth and Layne Michael engaged in a fast and entertaining back-and-forth battle for the lead at the Big Buck Farm in the GNCC first round. Toth secured the lead after a mid-race pass and held that lead for the checkered flag.

“I got off to a good start, and was able to work my way into the lead on the first lap,” said Toth. “I knew Michael was right behind me so I just kept pushing and it paid off.”

Craig DeLong finished in third behind Toth and Michael, followed by Michael Witkowski and Austin Lee.

Round 2: Wild Boar - Palatka, Florida

The Hogwaller course features the sandy soil typical of Florida. However that sand mixed with black dirt and a few tough mud holes makes it particularly challenging. Toth adjusted to the ever-changing course conditions and rode his YZ250FX to his second XC2 win. He also secured an amazing 4th overall in the round.

Round 3: Cannonball – Sparta, Georgia

Toth worked his way through the pack to claim the checkered flag on the Hill Family Farm track. Again, Toth's ability to adapt to the varying track conditions that are thrown his way has been a factor in his podium streak. Toth roosted in the red clay soil and conquered the rocky sections to earn his third straight win of the season.

Michael Witkowski finished in second and Jesse Groemm in third.

Toth will look to continue his dominance in the GNCC 4th round at Steel Creek in Morganton, North Carolina.
