Maxxis All-Over Pro &
Amateur Podiums; Borich Takes GNCC ATV Lead
The summer break is over, and the Killer Bs
are ratcheting up the tension again. Chris
Borich won the first GNCC ATV event of the fall,
nabbing a three-point lead in the race for the
title. Bill Ballance took third place at the
Geico Mountain Ridge GNCC, held September 1 in
Somerset, Pennsylvania.
"What a race,” Borich told gnccracing.com.
“Some people think I haven’t been training over
the break, but guess what? I have been. I got
the points’ lead now, and I’m just going to come
out here and do the best I can and hopefully win
the rest of them and grab me a championship. I
need one.” Borich finished in 1:56:25 hours,
after a bruising contest that was closely fought
all the way to the finish line.
Ballance was not discouraged despite his
difficulties during the race, which included
mechanical problems. “Hey, I got third. I don’t
know how, it seems like we were just barely
going around the track, but it’s what I needed
to hopefully move onto the championship after
all this,” he told gnccracing.com.
Other Maxxis riders also rode their Razrs to
the top ten: Matt Smiley took fifth place, and
Brandon Sommers took seventh overall, along with
his seventh Pro Am victory of the season. Duane
Johnson grabbed eighth, Brent Sturdivant was
ninth and Taylor Kiser rounded out the top ten.
Sommers also won the ATVRiders.com holeshot
award.
In the morning race, it paid to be part of
the Maxxis-riding Team Warnert Racing Can-Am:
Michael Swift, Scott Kilby, and Cliff Beasley
swept the morning podium and won the Limited
4x4, Open 4x4 and Lites 4x4 classes
respectively.
Maxxis congratulates Chris Borich and Michael
Swift on their victories and thanks all of these
fine riders for their outstanding performances.
