Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Borich Wins Final GNCC
ATV Race
GNCC ATV Champ
Borich wins at Crawfordsville, IN
Round 13 – GNCC ATV Series
Crawfordsville, Indiana - Klotz Ironman
(October 24-25, 2009) - Although Rockstar Makita
Suzuki’s Chris Borich won the 2009 GNCC ATV
title two rounds prior, the
newly crowned champion still gave it his all at
this past weekend’s final round at the Klotz
Ironman in
Crawfordsville, Indiana. Borich’s hard work and
talent paid off, as the Rockstar Makita Suzuki
rider got a
good start on his QuadRacer R450 and ran in a
conservative third place for much of the race
before
taking over the lead on the final lap. With that
move, Borich took the final win of the year and
topped
off his already-stellar season. This year,
Borich won the last eight consecutive races and
10 events overall
for the season. He and the Rockstar Makita
Suzuki crew will return next year to defend
their hard-earned
title.
Chris Borich:
“The Klotz Ironman is one of the best tracks we
race at. I really had fun out there. I kind of
paced myself
until the final lap and then I pushed hard on
the Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer R450. The
track was
awesome. There were some really gnarly hill
climbs and lots of people were getting hung up
on them, but
I was lucky and didn’t have any problems. It’s a
really good feeling to go out there and win 10
races and
end the season on a high note like that. There
were so many fans at this round, too. They were
lining the
track everywhere. It was pretty incredible. I’m
really happy to have had such a good season and
to have
given Suzuki a championship. I have to thank
Rockstar Makita Suzuki and all of my sponsors. I
had a
phenomenal season and I couldn’t have done it
without their help and support.”
