The stage was set for what appeared to be a tough mudder at Sunday's inaugural Car-Mate Gusher GNCC as a substantial amount of rain fell in Northwestern Pennsylvania the previous day. But just as quickly as the storms came in, they soon vanished and a combination of sunshine and wind created favorable afternoon track conditions for Round 11 of the 2013 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series. Thousands of race fans were on hand all weekend long to witness the spectacle of events that took place at the RiverStone Estate in Foxburg, Pa., including an epic battle between XC1 Pro riders Kailub Russell and Charlie Mullins, which resulted in a fifth consecutive overall victory for Russell.
