Chris
Borich Celebrating his win |
Somerset, PA (9/6/2007) - The
summer break is over, and the Killer Bs are ratcheting
up the tension again. Chris Borich won the first
GNCC ATV event of the fall, nabbing a three-point
lead in the race for the title. Bill Ballance
took third place at the Geico Mountain Ridge GNCC,
held September 1 in Somerset, Pennsylvania.
“What a race,” Borich told gnccracing.com.
“Some people think I haven’t been
training over the break, but guess what? I have
been. I got the points’ lead now, and I’m
just going to come out here and do the best I
can and hopefully win the rest of them and grab
me a championship. I need one.” Borich finished
in 1:56:25 hours, after a bruising contest that
was closely fought all the way to the finish line.
Ballance was not discouraged despite his difficulties
during the race, which included mechanical problems.
“Hey, I got third. I don’t know how,
it seems like we were just barely going around
the track, but it’s what I needed to hopefully
move onto the championship after all this,”
he told gnccracing.com.
Other Maxxis riders also rode their Razrs to the
top ten: Matt Smiley took fifth place, and Brandon
Sommers took seventh overall, along with his seventh
Pro Am victory of the season. Duane Johnson grabbed
eighth, Brent Sturdivant was ninth and Taylor
Kiser rounded out the top ten. Sommers also won
the ATVRiders.com holeshot award.
In the morning race, it paid to be part of the
Maxxis-riding Team Warnert Racing Can-Am: Michael
Swift, Scott Kilby, and Cliff Beasley swept the
morning podium and won the Limited 4x4, Open 4x4
and Lites 4x4 classes respectively.
Maxxis congratulates Chris Borich and Michael
Swift on their victories and thanks all of these
fine riders for their outstanding performances.
