Warnert Racing's Chris Bithell raises his second place trophy

St. Cloud, MN (3/17/2011) – It was another great weekend for the Warnert Racing team as Chris Bithell and Adam McGill both charged their way to the podium at round two of the 2011 GNCC series, while Lexie Coulter held strong for a top five finish in the Women’s class.

Aonia Pass in Washington, GA was the hosting facility for The General that saw good conditions on the track even after heavy rains hot the region just days prior to the race. Some areas of mud and thick heavy clay were still lingering for the day's events, but that didn't hamper the efforts of the team.

In the XC1 Pro class, Chris Bithell charged off the line and took the lead. Bithell was looking impressive as he charged hard and kept the likes of Bryan Wolf and Chris Borich at bay. Bithell kept on the gas but in the final lap, Chris Borich would get by but Bithell stayed close and tried to recapture his lead to no avail. Bithell would end his day in a respectable second place only two seconds behind Borich. Bithell's solid and consistent performances so far this season have allowed him to secure second place in the points chase.

XC1 Pro Racer Adam McGill claimed the fastest lap of the afternoon race

“This season has started out really well for us. I felt really good out there and I'm glad to be on the podium again,” said Bithell. Adam McGill put in a hard charge after a slow start and would join his teammate Bithell on the podium. McGill was in tenth place off the start and quickly moved into sixth before the end of the first lap. In lap two, McGill laid claim to the fastest lap time of the race with a time of 24:02.093 that would also bump him up to fourth place. McGill kept on the gas and in lap four he worked his way into third where he stayed until reaching the checkered flag. “It was a good day for our team with both Chris and I on the podium. This gives us a lot of momentum and we're going to carry it forward from here,” stated McGill, who is currently fourth in pro points

In the Women's class, Lexie Coulter put in a consistent run. Coulter was in the top three off the start and held off Angel Atwell for two laps before settling into a solid fourth place. Coulter held her position for three laps before tacking it to the checkered flag. Coulter's strong performance so far has her sitting in second in points ahead of Traci Cecco and Kristen Atwell.

Round three of the 2011 GNCC series will have the Warnert Racing team heading to Steele City in Morganton, NC, on March 26th where Chris Bithell and Adam McGill are hoping to repeat their podium success.
