Warnert Racing’s
Borich Wins Sixth Race, Kilby Chases after
Championship
Chris Borich |
Round # 9 of the WPSA Powersports tour found
our Warnert Racing riders roaring to go at the
Old Bridge Township, Raceway Park, NJ facility.
Heading into this event, teammates Chris Borich
and Chris Bithell had already proven they are
dominate factors in these races and this event
would further drive home that fact as conditions
deteriorated on one of the muddiest and rock
infested courses yet found in the series.
Borich, Bithell and Scott Kilby bring years
of Cross Country racing experience with them as
they faced one tough course and although Mother
Nature would not make it easy on anyone, these
three talented riders would prove why they
belong out front.
During the main event, a rain once again
moved in and track conditions became so bad that
several riders abandoned their machines as they
became hopelessly stuck in the mud. Chris Borich
plowed forward on his Can-Am Outlander, using
all that racing knowledge to propel him to a 31
second lead. Scott Kilby became stuck in the log
section, only to break free and mount a charge
back to the front to place pressure on the
second place rider of Jesse West.

When the checkered flag flew, Chris Borich
remained out front taking the win in commanding
fashion, marking his 6th win of the series in
only 7 races. Scott Kilby secured a second place
finish marking his return to the top three, his
best finish in several rounds of competition.
With only 15 points separating Kilby and points
leader Jesse West, the last and final round will
be the deciding factor for Kilby and his quest
to secure the Quad terrain championship.
With the final round falling on a conflicting
GNCC & WPSA weekend, Chris Borich and Chris
Bithell will be absent from the last round,
however both have secured top 10 positions in
the final standings! Borich leaves the series
just 1 point out of Fourth, but will fall back
due to missing the last race. Even with a late
start to the series and missing the first 3
rounds, Chris Borich has taken his Warnert
racing prepped Can Am to the front and the
knowledge gained will be implemented into next
years program.
The final round of the WPSA Powersports Tour
will be held on September 15-16th at the Field
of Dreams Raceway located in Boswell,
Pennsylvania.
