Round 5 - GNCC Racing Links
Springville, IN (4/27/2014) – It was a beautiful day for racing on Saturday as Round 5 of the 2014 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series presented by Maxxis, an AMA GNCC Racing National Championship, descended upon the Lawrence County Recreation Park in Springville, Ind. After two hours of hard battle with the top riders in the sport, Chris Borich emerged victorious at the third running of the Dunlop Limestone 100.

Precision/Maxxis Tires Chris Bithell captured his first $250 Twin Air/DeRisi Racing XC1 Holeshot Award of the season and shot out to the lead on the opening lap. Bithell was followed closely by N-Fab AmPro Yamaha's Walker Fowler and Racing Powersports.com/ CST Tires/ PirateMX.com's Adam McGill early on.

While Borich didn't get off to the best start, the five-time champion applied the pressure on Bithell, Fowler and McGill throughout the first half of the four-lap race. As the two lap-card fell, Borich made his charge towards the front where he first passed McGill for third. From there, it was an all-out battle between Bithell, Fowler and the reigning champion Borich.

Bithell controlled the pace out front for most of the afternoon, leading the first three of four laps.

"It was a blast from the beginning, Bithell said. "Normally nobody likes to lead early on but I figured just go with it. You can't always let people back by and eat their dust all day. I figured I would go ride my own race and that's what I did."

However, Fowler and Borich finally put themselves in a position to take over the lead on the final lap. It was Borich who first made his move to the front, while Fowler and Bithell went back and forth for the second place position. Fowler passed Bithell to take over second, where he set his sights on Borich for the lead spot. The Ohio native made a valiant charge on the final lap, catching the rear tire of Borich as the duo battled it out until the very end.

Fowler charged hard in the final moments, finishing less than one second behind Borich for the second place position.

"There were just so many lines out there and we were all banging wheels, bouncing off lappers and each other," Fowler said. "It was fun a day. I would love to win but leaving the race healthy and having fun makes the day a whole lot better."
