Chris
Borich Wins 7th Race of the Year &
moves within striking distance of
his 1st GNCC Pro ATV Championship
|
Brea, CA (9/15/2009) - Rockstar
Makita Suzuki Chris Borich returned from the
GNCC ATV Series summer break with a vengeance,
winning round 10 handily at Unadilla Valley
Sports Center in New Berlin, New York, over
the past weekend. Currently leading the title
chase by more than 50 points, Borich has won
a remarkable seven out of 10 races so far this
year. This impressive result is the most GNCC
ATV races that Suzuki has won to date. Joining
Borich on the starting line was newly crowned
2009 AMA ATV MotocrossChampion Dustin Wimmer.
With Wimmer’s own series over for the
year, the two-time ATV Championdecided to try
out the GNCC. He rode an impressive first race
on a specially prepared Rockstar MakitaSuzuki
QuadRacer R450 in the cross-country event and
finished 14th.
Chris Borich:
“I got off to about a mid-pack start
and worked my way into the top five pretty
quickly. Once I was in the top five, I just
kind of put it in cruise control because I
wanted to get a good feel for the track. On
the last lap I went for it and got in the
lead. Once I got out front, I really put the
hammer down and pu about a 20-second lead
on everyone. Taking the win this weekend has
me pretty pumped for the next round. I think
if I can finish eight points ahead of Taylor
Kiser at the next round, I will have the championship
wrapped up. I really want to win it and give
Suzuki a championship.”
Dustin Wimmer:
“I’m definitely not used to cross-country
racing, but I had fun out there. Even though
I had a bike built for this race, I was still
a little unprepared, but I didn’t have
any problems with the Rockstar Makita SuzukiQuadRacer
R450 – it ran great and handled pretty
good. You definitely have to use different
lines and be able to remember them the next
time around, which is a little hard if you
aren’t used to it. I have to fly out
to California soon to have the screws taken
out of my shoulder so I probably won’t
be able to do any more GNCC races except for
the Ironman (final round), which I’m
looking forward to.”
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will
race next at the Moose Yadkin Valley Stomp
in Yadkinville, North Carolina, the weekend
of, September 26-27, 2009.
