As the green flag waved signaling the beginning of the 1 p.m. ATV race, it was Maxxis/Fly Racing/Ye Olde Cycle Barn’s Chris Borich jumping off the XC1 Pro line first and grabbing the $250 All Balls Racing Holeshot Award. Borich came through timing and scoring behind Fowler, who managed to make the pass on lap one. Fowler would hold onto that first place position throughout the duration of the two-hour race with little competition.
