Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Borich Wins Ohio GNCC &
Extends Championship Points Lead
Round 8 – GNCC
Millfield, Ohio - Wiseco John Penton National
- June 6-7, 2009 - Rockstar Makita Suzuki
Racing’s Chris Borich captured his
third-consecutive win of the 2009 season
at the Wiseco John Penton GNCC in Millfield,
Ohio, over the weekend. This weekend’s GNCC saw
Borich get off to a conservative start and then
charge hard to make his way into second place on
his Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer R450 by the
end of lap two. Borich continued his aggressive
charge and was battling for the lead for the
whole race before taking the checkered flag in
the end.
With this victory, Borich has a total of five
wins under his belt and increased his lead in
the overall championship points standings.
Chris Borich:
“It was a tough race but I just kept my focus
and did what I needed to do. There were a lot of
trees and the track was rough, but my Suzuki
handled it with no problems. I really felt great
out there today, and it felt great to get
another win. My Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer
R450 ran perfectly the entire race. I feel a
little more comfortable, now, since I have
increased my points lead, but I know I still
have to be on top of things to stay there. I’m
hoping to take the podium again at the next
round. And after that, I will be training hard
over the break, so I can keep my edge and stay
on top of the podium.”
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will
race next at .the MotorcycleUSA.com Snowshoe
National in Snowshoe, West Virginia, the weekend
of June 27-28, 2009.
