In a highly competitive field looking to steal this year's Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) series championship, Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Chris Borich is rising to the top of the pack. Following his second-place finish at the season-opener in Florida, Borich raced his QuadRacer R450 to victory at Round 2 of the GNCC series in Washington, Ga.
"I'm pretty pumped about taking the win," said Borich. "The Suzuki QuadRacer R450 worked awesome and everything just seemed to click out there." Borich stayed close to the race leaders throughout the day, awaiting the right opportunity to take the lead. With the best overall race plan, Borich and his crew timed the pit stops exactly right, taking on just enough fuel at the end of the race to take the victory.
"We have the Suzuki dialed in for mud and just about every condition that we could run into out there," said Borich, "so I am ready for the next round and looking forward to being on the podium again." Borich is now tied for the GNCC series points lead.
The Rockstar Makita Suzuki Racing team will compete at the second round of the 2009 GNCC ATV Racing season March 22 in Morganton, North Carolina.
