NBL’s classic weekend in South Park, PA is within sight and serves as the last chance for NBL’s Elite Series points as well as the final two races in the NBL/UCI Series. For the second time this season, NBL will award more than $30,000 in prize payouts throughout the various NBL and UCI classes. The famous South Park BMX track has been updated and promises to provide one of the best weekends of racing in the season. Only 1 point separates Free Agent’s Kyle Bennett and Formula’s Donny Robinson at the top of the NBL Elite series standings but Staats/TLD’s Robert de Wilde and GT’s Randy Stumpfhauser will have two more shots to catch the leaders. Kuwahara’s Matt Pohlkamp sits in the #5 position but will have Avent’s Jarrett Kolich and CMC’s Jason Rodgers to contend with.

The East Coast women continue to lead the way in the Elite Women’s standings with Formula’s Amanda Geving, Rite Bike’s Madison Pitts, and Bizarro’s Kayla Gaddis atop the standings but as the season tick’s away, BMXMania.com’s Ashley Stamper and Redline’s Kim Hayashi are closing ground. Look for more Women than ever in contention for the coveted #1 plate at the NBL Grands.
