Hurricane Mills, TN (5/11/2014) - The 2014 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series presented by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship, made its return to the legendary Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee on Saturday for the 33rd running of the Parts Unlimited Loretta Lynn's GNCC. After two grueling hours of battle in the hot and humid Tennessee woods, Chris Borich captured his fourth consecutive win of the season at Round 6, thus extending his points lead in the championship standings.

With 15 riders lined up in the XC1 Pro class, it was RacingPowersports.com/CST Tires/PirateMX.com's Adam McGill who shot out to the first turn, capturing the $250 Twin Air/DeRisi Racing XC1 Holeshot Award. McGill led the opening lap, while heavy hitters such as Borich and Precision/Maxxis Tires Chris Bithell followed close behind.

Bithell eventually made the pass on McGill to take over the lead around the halfway point and Borich followed suit, taking over the second place position on the same lap. However, McGill didn't let the Suzuki duo get away so easily as he applied the pressure for the remainder of the race.

N-Fab AmPro Yamaha's Walker Fowler didn't join the lead pack until the second half of the race as a bad start held him nearly outside the top ten on the opening lap. Fowler slowly made his way into a top five position but the Ohio native really turned up the intensity on the final two laps, where he made up a substantial amount of time on the leaders.

Borich put his almost-patented pass on Bithell to take over the lead on the final lap. Bithell then surrendered his second place position, as McGill moved past in hot pursuit of Borich's lead.

Meanwhile, Fowler was charging hard towards the leading duo. On the final lap Fowler caught up to Bithell and quickly made the pass for third place, where he then set his sights on McGill and Borich ahead. Fowler caught the rear wheel of McGill in the final moments of the race and the two battled wheel-to-wheel all the way through the checkers, finishing less than one second behind McGill for third place.

"I feel like I worked way too hard out there to finish third place," Fowler said. "But at the end of the day, I'm happy to have finished on the podium and get some points today."
