WORCS ATV Racing Round #7 - Straddleline July 25, 2010

RockStar Suzuki’s Chris Borich was looking good as he got off the line in the number four spot and quickly began pursuing the leaders. Borich picked off both Dustin Nelson and Josh Frederick before the end of the second lap and then set a steady pace. Borich picked up speed later in the race, but it was too late to close the minute plus gap that Baron had gained, forcing Borich to settle for second place on the podium.

Defending GNCC Pro Champion, Chris Borich, has had another dominating GNCC seaon with 7 Pro class wins in 9 rounds, which has extended his points lead to 40 points with 4 rounds of racing on schedule after the summer break. Borich won the WORCS Straddleline round in 2009, but he had to settle for 2nd place this year

“I went out there and took over second pretty early and set a pace. I knew that Baron had a good lead and I tried to close in but it was a little too late to catch him. I mainly just came out here to have some fun and that’s what I did,” said Borich.

Can-Am/Motoworks’ Josh Frederick was looking smooth as ever as he charged off the line in third, but he would soon have his hands full when Adam McGill would catch him and give him a battle for most of the two hour event. Frederick and McGill would swap positions several times, but Frederick would fight back and eventually pull away from McGill to take the final spot on the podium.

“I went out there and gave it my all, so I am happy with my performance, but I really want to take the win at the next round,” said Frederick, who still has a grasp on the Pro points lead.

Can-Am/Warnert Racing’s Adam McGill, who was also out to have a bit of fun, was looking fast and smooth as he came off the line in fifth place. McGill ran into a bit of trouble early in the race when he slid off of a slick bridge crossing and ended up off the track, but he would quickly recover and chase down Josh Frederick. After battling with Frederick for most of the race, McGill would end his day in fourth place.
