CORY BUTTRICK, LANE MICHEAL, TAYLA JONES
Frank Keegan Jr. has made quite an im-
pact with his Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/KR4/
Husqvarna racing team, winning the Full Gas
Sprint Enduro title in 2016 with Thad DuVall.
For 2018, KR4 will pick up Cory Buttrick (left),
who had some very strong rides this year. The
Ohio native will certainly benefit from having a
mechanic. The last two years he’s been racing
and doing his own mechanical work! Buttrick
will concentrate on the AMA National Enduro
Series, in addition to riding a few GNCC rounds.
Along with Buttrick, KR4 also picked up Layne
Michael (below left), who will move up to the XC1 in the GNCC series,

In the XC2 class, KR4 will have Liam Draper.
