12 Hours of ATV America - Race Report

After a few laps, Chris Borich pulled into the Pits and Matt Smiley took over with the lead.

#29 Derisi Racing /Houser Racing (Bryan Cook) was running strong in 4th place heading into the 4th lap when their YFZ stalled and left him sitting in the woods for two laps until anyone came to tow him back into the pits :(

Unfortunately, Cannondaleriders.com(Doug Flinner) suffered the same fate when they broke down near the same spot and also had to wait two laps to be hauled back to the pits. The engine suffered damage and they retired from the race after only 4 laps and leading the 30+ Class.

#4 Bill Ballance remained in the chase after Matt Smiley for the lead

Chris Borich watches from the sidelines with his Father Joe and Friend Sean Neadlinger.
