Morganton, NC (3/31/2012) – It was a tough and brutal course at Steele Creek this weekend, but Yamaha / Ballance Racing’s Taylor Kiser topped the Pro podium, followed by Adam McGill in second and Chris Borich in third at round three of the 2012 GNCC Racing Series.

Steele Creek is known as one of the roughest and toughest tracks in the GNCC series and this round was no exception. Tight, rough trails and limited areas to pass made for an interesting day of racing, but it all went well for Taylor Kiser.

Yamaha / Ballance Racing’s Taylor Kiser, who has been long overdue for a win, came from a top five start and cruised in the number four position for two laps. “I had a good start and was fourth going into the woods. I just tried to ride smart and I made it into the lead,” said Kiser.

Kiser may have taken over the lead, but he had plenty of company as Chris Borich was beginning to challenge him. “Chris caught up to me and he and I battled it out for a while and bumped a few times, but I was able to keep the lead,” Kiser stated.

Despite the pressure from Borich, Kiser held his lead to take the pro win. “It’s been a long time coming. It’s been two years since I took a win and it felt really good to be back up on the podium. I have to thank Bill Ballance Racing, my fiancée Julie, my mom and dad, and all of our sponsors for being behind me and for all of their support,” said Kiser.

Adam McGill was off to a mid-pack start along with Chris Borich. The pair took off on a hard charge and caught up to the leaders. “I was in mid-pack with Chris and he and I got together and just charged through everyone,” said McGill.

In the final lap, Borich got around McGill, putting McGill back into third, but a mistake by Borich late in the race allowed McGill to get by and take the second position, which he was able to hold all the way to the finish line.
