Charlie Mullins wins GNCCposted in Off-Road on May 24th 2010 at 8:08am.

Somerset, PA (May 23, 2010) - Hot Rod Charlie Mullins came out on top of a four-rider battle to claim an exciting and hard-fought win in the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series, at the Moose Racing Mountain Ridge GNCC in Somerset, Pennsylvania.After moving up from a poor start, the Obermeyer/Am Pro/FMF Yamaha rider battled Am Pro/FMF Yamaha's Barry Hawk Jr., and FMF/KTM teammates Cory Buttrick and Nate Kanney, before taking the lead for good with two laps to go. All four riders held the lead at one point or another over the course of the three-hour race - which was considered to be one of the tougher events of the year after weekend rain showers made Somerset's infamous rocks and hillsides more treacherous than ever.The victory was the third-straight for Mullins, and tightens up the championship points chase by moving him to within three points of leader Josh Strang, who finished seventh in Pennsylvania, after admittedly having an off day.Mullins is obviously on a roll and credits his recent run of success to "the elimination silly of mistakes.""I've been getting a little smarter in my racing and it's paying off," said Mullins. "I'm winning, and it's great, but there will be a time when I won't win, so I'm just going to keep working hard and take it a race at a time."
