MURRIETA, CA – March 31, 2026 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Grant Davis claimed victory at Round 4 of the 2026 Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series in South Carolina on Sunday, while teammate Ben Kelley maintained his points lead in the XC1 Open Pro Class and Overall with a third-place finish at the Camp Coker Bullet GNCC. In addition, Dante Oliveira continued his winning form in the National Hare & Hound Series, taking the Rabbit Creek 100 round win.

GRAND NATIONAL CROSS COUNTRY SERIES – ROUND 4

XC1 Open Pro Class newcomer Grant Davis turned his pace into a P1 finish amid challenging conditions at Camp Coker, taking the lead soon after a strong start onboard the KTM 450 XC-F this weekend and managing the race from the front of the field.

With a total time of 3:06.04, Davis recorded his first victory of the 2026 season and moved up to sixth in the XC1 Open Pro Class and Overall standings after four rounds.

Grant Davis: “I’m pumped! It was a good day – I got off to a good start and was in third place entering the woods, then powered to the lead and really tried to put the hammer down and open up a gap. I managed to do that, and just maintained my position for the duration of the race. That’s honestly the best I have felt all year, so I’m pumped with how I am riding and I’ll be ready for Kentucky.”

Defending GNCC Champion Ben Kelley entered Round 4 with momentum after a third-place finish at the Talladega GNCC, aiming to power his KTM 450 XC-F to the front once again at the Camp Coker Bullet GNCC.

A strong start put the number one rider in contention from the outset, battling near the podium throughout the three-hour race duration and ultimately securing a consistent P3 finish along with valuable championship points.

Kelley maintains his lead on top of the XC1 Open Pro Class and Overall standings following Camp Coker, holding a 13-point advantage as the series heads to The Dukes GNCC on April 18-19.

Ben Kelley: “It was a pretty good day for me overall. I had a decent start and made a couple of quick passes in that first lap. From there, I was in a good flow, but then lost a bit of that comfort during the middle stages. I fought late as best as I could, and managed to salvage a third, which gives me good championship points. I wanted a little more, but we’ll regroup and come out strong for the next one!”

Round 4 also proved a solid outing for FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Jason Tino, who battled for the podium in the XC2 250 Pro division aboard his KTM 250 XC-F. He ultimately crossed the finish line in third, marking his second podium of the 2026 season.

Tino now sits fifth in the XC2 250 Pro Class standings after four rounds, with championship points remaining tight as the series heads into Round 5 next month.

Jason Tino: “Today was a grind! I got off to a pretty decent start – I think I was P4 going into the woods – then dropped back to fifth, before getting back on the pace from there. I felt better as the race went on, and overall, I’m pretty stoked that I was able to come away with a podium result on my KTM.”

FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Brandy Richards was also competitive this weekend, holding the WXC Class lead aboard her KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION before an incident with a lapped rider saw her eventually credited with seventh in South Carolina.

Brandy Richards: “Not the best day for me at Round 4 in Camp Coker. I was leading and feeling good when I made a miscalculation with a lapped rider, which sent me pinballing through some trees! Luckily, I was okay, but I bent my rear sprocket and wasn’t able to go anywhere. I was brought a new wheel and finished the race. I’m happy to finish and be healthy.”

NATIONAL HARE & HOUND SERIES – ROUND 3

FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Dante Oliveira claimed a wire-to-wire win at Round 3 of the 2026 National Hare & Hound series in Murphy, Idaho, controlling the race from the front for victory.

The defending Pro Class champion was in exceptional form from the very beginning, racing his KTM 450 XC-F through the fast-paced, rugged and dry terrain to record a total time of 3:07.42 and earn his third win of the season.

After establishing more than a minute lead on the opening loop and making a swift pit-stop, Oliveira maintained that advantage in first position all the way to the checkered flag for a well-earned P1 result on Sunday.

Three wins from three starts this year now give Oliveira a perfect 90 points following Round 3 in Murphy this weekend, with four races left to run on the National Hare & Hound schedule. Next up is Jericho, Utah, on April 11.

Dante Oliveira: “I made a good start and managed to race ahead from there – it was all about executing the start this weekend and that’s what I did. I put the hammer down and it was smooth sailing from there, was able to bring it home for the win. Let’s keep it going!”
