There’s always a feeling in the air when a new race season starts. The smell of the gas. The rubber flying by your arms. An excitement you feel only once a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Grand National Super Series Presented by ECC, that exact excitement could be felt throughout the entire pit area. From fresh looking rides like Chris Burns’ #19 or Jeff Thomas’ #15, to new faces like Brandon Kinzer, embarking on a full GNSS season from the dirt side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all started with Jamie Mosley breaking a GNSS Dominion track record en route to the ChaLew Performance Pole Award. After the invert and the decision from some drivers to start at the rear, Chris Burns inherited the top starting position for the first twin 50 lapper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burns would make his presence known in the opening stage, but after just 20 laps, mechanical gremlins took hold and wouldn’t let go. That moved second place running AJ Henriksen to the top spot. Battling with Mosley, Henriksen just seemed to get better each and every lap. One last ditch effort from the #11 in the waning laps was for naught as Henriksen picks up a commanding win ahead of Mosley and Isaiah Hogan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henriksen commented “Might’ve been the best I’ve had. Best I’ve had here for sure. A lot of fun. These cars are so much fun to drive.” Of the Burns incident, “We were both still not quite going 100%. That would’ve been a pretty good race for sure. Sucks to see that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After grabbing the Howe Racing Enterprises Hard Charger Award in the first race, Isaiah Hogan found himself starting on point for race two. Original pole sitter Chris Burns dropped to the rear after being given an opportunity by Bob Schacht to drive the #75 machine. The same one Burns took to victory lane at Carteret County in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn’t take long for Burns to find his way back up front, taking control of the race midway through from Jamie Mosley and AJ Henriksen. Both Henriksen and Brandon Kinzer suffered flat right front tires coming out of turn two, sending both to the rear of the pack. As Burns did in the beginning of the race though, Henriksen stormed through the field and reassumed his position fighting with Mosley and leader Burns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just 2 laps remaining, the #75 went up in smoke and flame in front of the field. Burns, Mosley, and Henriksen all took frightening hits to the outside wall in between turns 3 and 4. Thankfully, everyone walked away out of the incident under their own power. Another driver involved, Isaiah Hogan, was scored the leader with minimal damage. However, due to track cleanup, the race was called official. And since Hogan was involved in said incident, Brandon Kinzer of Allen, KY was declared the winner in only his fourth ever GNSS start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I couldn’t be more surprised right now.” Kinzer remarked. “I really hate for those guys, they were all really good. These things are hard to win, so it’s monumental to us.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave Hutchinson took home the second Howe Racing Enterprises Award of the night for his effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
