One rider looking to capitalize this weekend is Maxxis/Fly Racing/Ye Olde Cycle Barn’s Chris Borich. Before break Borich earned his first win of the season at the AMSOIL Snowshoe GNCC, and now he is hoping to keep that momentum from before break rolling into Saturday. Borich currently sits fourth in the National Championship standings, just three points behind Bneal Motorsports/CST Tires/Houser Racing’s Brycen Neal.

However, WFR/GBC/Fly Racing/Yamaha’s Walker Fowler will be on the hunt to earn his sixth win of the season as the series picks back up. Fowler leads the way in the National Championship standings, and after finishing third at round nine he will be looking to find his way back to the center of the podium this weekend. The past four years, Fowler has come back from break and earned the win in New York, even with this year being hosted at an all-new venue for GNCC he will be looking to keep that round 10 winning streak alive.

JMR/ATVriders.com/Maxxis’ Jarrod McClure has been one to keep an eye on this season as he currently sits second in the points standings. McClure earned his first win this season in Indiana at the X-Factor GNCC, and more recently finished second at Snowshoe. McClure sits 34-points behind Fowler, and you can bet he will be looking to earn his second win of the season and close that gap. 

Neal, who previously earned his first win earlier in the season, heads into the tenth round third in points and is now hoping to utilize his past performance and practice during the three-month break to battle for another win. AmPro Yamaha/Gear Alloy/GBC’s Cole Richardson did not have a good race at Snowshoe, only completing two of the six laps. Richardson has managed to hold onto the fifth place position in points, but he will be looking to finish at the front of the pack this coming Saturday.

McGill Mafia/CST Tires/Moose Racing’s Adam McGill was another racer looking for a better race at round nine. McGill found himself in the lead at Snowshoe, but after completing four laps a mechanical issue ultimately ended his day. McGill has been busy during the GNCC break, racing the Vegas to Reno race, and is more than ready to battle for his second win of the season.

Two New York natives are ready to race in front of their hometown family and friends this Saturday. M.R. Unlimited/GBC Tires/RJR’s Devon Feehan and Spider Graphix/GBC Motorsports/Moose Racing’s Marty Christofferson currently sit seventh and eighth in the National Championship standings, and both hail from towns 20 minutes from Harpursville.

In the XC2 Pro-Am class, Maxxis/Ithaca Recreation Sports/Fly Racing’s Hunter Harts lead the way. Hart has earned seven class win, and he is currently on a six win streak. As the race heads to his home state of New York once again, Hart will be looking to earn his eighth win of the season. One rider looking to end his success is Demaree Motorsports/LSR/Fly Racing’s Austin Abney, who earned the round one class win, and currently sits second in points.

Coastal Racing/Waynesburg Yamaha/LanMills XC is also looking to battle at the front as he sits third in points. Pierce Performance/Maxxis/Waynesburg Yamaha’s John Glauda Jr. has had a handful of podiums this season, and even earned the win at round three in the XC2 Pro-Am class. Glauda Jr. is looking to once again land in the center of the podium and earn some valuable points as he currently sits fourth.
