Maxxis' ATV Racers
Dominate XC1 Pro Podium Snowshow GNCC
Snowshoe
GNCC - Round 8 - Snowshoe, WV - June 23, 2012
Suwanee, GA (6/28/2012) - Points
leader Chris Borich continues to dominate the GNCC
series, with a seventh victory in eight races. Round
8 was held June 24 in Snowshoe, West
Virginia.
Borich grabbed the lead in the last lap from
fellow Maxxis rider Brian
Wolf, who had led for much of the race. A mechanical
difficulty then forced
Wolf from the race with three miles to go. Borich
was grateful for the
performance of his Razr and Razr2 tires: "The
tires worked awesome. There
were just gnarly rocks, slick uphills, slick downhills,
and I just can't
thank Maxxis enough. They make the best tire out
there. They're so
predicable when it's slick, rough, or even muddy."
Another rider sponsored by Maxxis, XC1 Pro rookie
Walker Fowler, joined
Borich on the podium in third place, while Taylor
Kiser took fifth place.
"I got a good start and went into the woods
third, said Fowler. œWolf
was going like a madman, so I tried to latch onto
him, and I hung with him
for about a lap. I ended up tanking it in a real
bad mudhole on the third
lap and losing about two minutes. I just calmed
down, relaxed and put my
head down and rode my race. The tires were hooking
up awesome. It was slick
as all get-out out there, with tree roots and
rocks, and I didn't have a
single flat." Borich, Kiser and Fowler are
first, second and third in XC1
standings, and Wolf is seventh.
Gabe Phillips took his fourth class win of the
year in XC2 Pro Am, and is
also fourth in class standings. In the morning
race, Traci Cecco won the
Women's class race by a whopping 12 minutes. She
now leads the class by
five points for the championship. Michael Swift
took second in 4x4 Open and
eighth overall, on Ceros tires. He is still second
in class points.
Maxxis congratulates Chris Borich and Gabe Phillips
on their victories and
thanks all of its riders for their fine performances.
