Morgantown, WV (7/6/2011) -After
8 rounds of racing, the 2011 Can-Am Grand National
Cross Country Series Championship is beginning
to take shape as the points margin has closed
to a mere seven point difference between the leaders,
the tightest margin yet this season.
McGill is charging hard The Wiseco John Penton
is historically known for its unpredictable weather
conditions and inevitably variable course conditions.
Offering up a little bit of everything, the Millfield
course presents racers with a motocross section,
plenty of trails through the woods and of course,
mud and hill climbs.

Yamaha's XC2 Class
Points leader Walker Fowler hopes to continue
his winning streak at Millfield
|
Warnert Racing Can-Am's Adam McGill prevailed
in tough conditions just two weeks ago at Snowshoe,
capturing his second win of the season and closing
the points gap on current points leader Rockstar
Makita Suzuki's Chris Borich. Borich, also last
year's Wiseco John Penton winner, experienced
tough luck at Snowshoe, finishing a disappointing
twelfth place after bike issues set him back.
Don't forget Yamaha Racing's youngest rider Walker
Fowler, who has had a perfect season so far in
the XC2 class on top of capturing an overall win
already this year. Ballance Racing's Fowler is
never far from the front and the Ohio native is
looking to contest the win this weekend in his
home state.
