The GNCC series is unique in that while the field is stacked with talent, there are only a handful of racers who have won an actual championship. In fact, most of them win several until someone bumps them off the throne and begins a reign of their own. Bill Ballance managed to break Barry Hawk’s streak of seven championships in 2000 and began his reign atop the Pro ATV class, racking up nine consecutive GNCC championships from 2000-2008. In that time he secured factory support, had his own Ballance edition products ranging from exhausts to tires and even a Ballance Edition Yamaha YFZ450R. Ballance continues his involvement in the sport, racing a handful of GNCC events, and running a motocross track and a race team. Although his reign came to an end in 2008, Ballance holds the record for most championships.

this is one of the worst lists ive seen u guys have no since of ridersyou r missing some great riders an legends ive been racing 16years an i agree with mark jhonson no tim farr or dana creech an many others that do belong in top ten i do agree with gust an jones
What about Caesar he was running horse carts back way before any of these guys on this list. How you going to leave him out? Dang how can writers get asked to write when what they do for a living is study and write crazy.
well i saw 4 names that deserve to be on the list the rest i think are just skinny jean wearing jackass watching cronies,thanks for giving the GOOD guys the fame but the really important ones were left out!....
man i hate suzuki quadracers but denton is the man, is it me or was his quadracer the only one in existence that wasnt a pile of garbage......and thats being tame
i wonder how many of these characters could have run the blackwater!
LONG LIVE THE THREE WHEELIN FEELIN !!!!!
What has Chad W. done for the sport? Everything he does is for himself, if you don't believe me then ask anyone that has bought anything from him. Go to the DS450 forum and see what everyone there post before he made the move to Yamaha. You guys didn't do your research and stuck him on there because he is the fastest on the mx track now.
He doesn't hold a light to Joe Byrd and I am not a Byrd fan.
Top list with no Wayne Matlock, I can't agree with it.
You forgot 3 time gncc atv champion 1985-1987(Tom Tokay).He was always the guy to beat back in the day but few ever could,he retired too soon.
Horrible list. Google a little harder if you don't know everyone's stats. FAIL!
The fact you put Weinen ahead of Tim Farr is absurd. He & others only have a few championships. Farr dominated the GNC, ATVA, etc. w/ multiple (some reports indicating 13x champion) championships in MX, TT, as well as many overseas top finishes or victories: Pont de Vaux, Erzberg, etc. He was consistently at the top of the points whether it was on a Honda, hybrid, KTM, etc... Factory involvement or not he has been instrumental in developing many of today's finer machines. A racer & later team manager. He's in the top 5 at the worst.
Who cares about today's racers not getting any recognition. Was it to be fair so they don't complain? Go out and prove that your name deserves to be on the list. Yes, Chad is a beast & is dominating the field. But, keep on trucking Chad and create a legacy. Then, put his name on the list.
Jackie Meadows!!!

Who got to vote for this? All time? Last time I saw Dean Sundahl, he had just won his 11th consecutive king of the desert race. He' won both 3 & 4 wheeled classes.Not to mention all the S.C.O.R.E. international races in Baja the 500 & 1000. Riverside. On and on. No mention of any pioneers. Marty Heart, Mark Wax, Jimmy White, Ace Willams, Curtis Sparks. You need to do some actual fact finding before posting somthing like you did. 3 wheelers are ATV's too. They take much more skill to go fast. I guess ill only remain a guest on this site.
