Defending Champ Chris Borich Wins GNCC Season Opener in Florida
::Continued::

GBC/Cernics/HMF/Yamaha's Johnny Gallagher put in a solid fifth-place ride behind Yamaha's Fowler, giving the veteran a good points foundation heading into round two in Georgia next weekend. Yamaha-mounted Jeff Pickens was running inside the top five as well, before experiencing mechanical issues that kept him from finishing the race.

With Fowler on the front line this season, the XC2 Pro Am class opened up as anyone's win in the Florida sand. Pennsylvania's Patrick McGuire shot out for the $100 Motosport.com Holeshot Award and didn't look back as he went on to take the first win of the season in the Pro Am division. Second position's Braden Henthorn debuted in the Pro Am class at the end of last season, but this year will mark his first full season in the class and title chase.

Team UXC Can-Am's Clifton Beasley topped the U2 class but it was Can-Am teammate ATV Parts Plus/Can-Am X-Team's Bryan Buckhannon who took the AM overall, in addition to winning the 4X4 Open class over Adam Hunt and Michael Swift.

Eight-time and defending Women's champ, Traci Cecco (YAM), had an intense battle with Greg's ATV & Cycle's Angel Atwell (HON) for the class win as well as top overall position. The 2009 champ, Atwell, edged out Cecco for the Women's class win and the two finished fourth and fifth overall, respectively.

Defending Youth champion, Hunter Hart (COB), began the 2012 season just as he left it, taking the 90 Open (12-15) class and Youth Overall over heavy hitters Cody Collier (APX) and Zachary Jones (APX).

Round two of the 2012 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series heads to Washington, Ga., March 17 and 18 for The Maxxis General GNCC. For more information, go to www.gnccracing.com.
