Rockstar Makita
Suzuki’s Borich Captures Victory on the Last Lap
at Mountain Ridge GNCC
Round 7 – Can-Am GNCC
Somerset, Pennsylvania
Mountain Ridge
May 16-17, 2009
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Racing’s Chris Borich
picked up his fourth victory of the 2009 Can-Am
GNCC
season at the Mountain Ridge race in Somerset,
Pennsylvania, this past weekend. The exciting
race
saw Borich get a mid-pack start and then move
quickly to the front of the pack on his Rockstar
Makita Suzuki QuadRacer R450. Borich took over
second place and battled for the lead right up
to
the last lap, when he took over the lead and got
the win. This victory follows up Borich’s win at
the
last round, where he moved into the points lead
in the overall championship standings.
Chris Borich:
“It feels really good to put my Rockstar Makita
Suzuki QuadRacer R450 up on the podium again. I
can’t say enough about Suzuki and Yoshimura –
they have my bike dialed-in and it gets the job
done
when I need it to. Overall, having a 12-point
lead is really a confidence-booster for me. I
thought
having that DNF a few rounds back would have
been a problem and would make it harder to get
back up there in points but I have recovered
from that sooner than I thought I would.
“Now I feel ready for the next round, whether
it’s dry or muddy. We are prepared for just
about
anything. I usually do well in Ohio, so I’m
looking forward to putting my Rockstar Makita
Suzuki back
on the podium again at round eight. I have been
working hard for so long to take a championship.
I’m really hoping that this is my year.”
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will race
next .the Wiseco John Penton GNCC in Millfield,
Ohio,
the weekend of June 6-7, 2009.
