Bryan Buckhannon almost retired after winning all 13 rounds of the 4x4 Open class last year to win the title, but decided to come back and race a Can-Am Renegade 4x4 in the inaugural 4x4 Pro class. The multi-time GNCC champion didn't disappoint, as he won the championship by 18 points, recording four wins and 12 podiums along the way.

Can-Am ATV 4×4 racers were also dominant this season, winning all four 4×4 utility classes. Bryan Buckhannon earned the 4×4 Pro class championship, posting four victories and 12 podiums aboard his ATV Parts Plus / Can-Am Renegade 800R X xc. He edged fellow Renegade pilot and 2014 Ironman winner Kevin Trantham by 18 points. Trantham had four wins and nine podiums. BNR / Can-Am Renegade rider Rob Smith took third place in the 4×4 Pro class points and at Ironman, giving Can-Am a podium sweep on the year.

“It feels great to get the championship. It was a lot of work, but it paid off. The 4×4 Pro class raised the bar and I really wanted to win the class, so I came back [from retirement]. Now I think I have to race it one more year just to defend the title. I have to thank Can-Am and all of my sponsors for helping me make this happen, and hopefully we can do it again next season,” said Buckhannon.

 

Kevin Trantham (Can-Am X-Team) put his Renegade 800R X xc in the winners' circle at the Ironman GNCC in Indiana, giving him nine podiums and four wins on the year in the first 4x4 Pro class standings.
