Borich kicked off the afternoon by grabbing the $250 Twin Air/DeRisi Racing XC1 Holeshot Award as he led the pack into the woods on the opening lap. Fowler then took over the lead for the next three laps but Borich kept himself within one second of Fowler’s rear wheel.

The duo remained wheel-to-wheel until the final lap when Borich made a mistake that sent him to the ground.

“On the last lap I ended up clipping a tree and he [Fowler] gapped me a good 30 seconds. I just knew I had to put the hammer on him and I finally caught up,” Borich said.

But then, Fowler got stuck behind a lapped rider and Borich was able to make his way back into the lead position. From there, Fowler wasn’t able to make up the lost ground on Borich.

“At the end there, Borich made a mistake and I tried to take advantage and get as far in front of him as I could but it didn’t end up going that way,” Fowler said. “I can’t buy any luck and lapped riders just aren’t helping me this year. But I’m happy to leave here healthy and safe.”

RacingPowersports.com/CST Tires/PirateMX.com’s Adam McGill and DWT Racing’s Jarrod McClure battled back and forth for the third place position for a majority of the afternoon. However, after receiving a 30 second penalty on the opening lap for starting his machine early, Precision/Maxxis Tires Chris Bithell made a big push towards the front. On the third lap, Bithell caught and passed McClure for the fourth place position, before reeling in McGill and eventually making the pass for third place on the final lap.

“I have to thank the fans for keeping me going out there because it took a lot out of me,” Bithell said. “It really helps us out to charge that hard, I couldn’t do it without everyone cheering me on out there.”

Borich’s victory on Saturday was his seventh career win over the last eight years at the Big Buck Farm, where he currently holds a six-race win streak behind him.

“This track is pretty sweet to me, it fits my style of riding and it has a good flow,” Borich said. “The track was awesome and it was a lot of fun riding with Walker and just having fun out there.”

McClure secured a fifth place position, just ahead of GT Thunder/Maxxis/Howser Racing’s Josh Merritt in sixth.
