Maxxis' Chris Borich & Chris Bithell Podium at Mountaineer GNCC
Maxxis ATV Racers Sweep GNCC XC2 Pro-Am Podium in West Virginia

Maxxis's Chris Borich - 2nd

Both Borich and Bithell started in the top five of what quickly became a three-man race, with the two Maxxis-sponsored riders battling through to the finish line with another racer. Borich was second across the finish line, with Bithell third. “It was real rocky and muddy,” said Borich. “All in all, the tires worked great. Everywhere that it was rocky and slick, I was able to get great traction.”

Walker Fowler’s fifth-place finish was a remarkable achievement, coming despite two crashes in the second half of the race. Borich continues to lead XC1 Pro standings, with Bithell in third place and Fowler in fourth.

In XC2, Landon Wolfe, Josh Merritt and Fred Marley took the top three places on the podium, after Marley grabbed the holeshot for the class. The victory was the second GNCC XC2 win of Wolfe’s career. “West Virginia has some of the toughest terrain to get through, and my Maxxis Razr's hooked up perfect all day to keep me out front,” said Wolfe. “There were also a lot of sharp rocks that could have very easily torn a tire to shreds.” Points leader Brycen Neal took tenth place for the class. Wolfe and Marley are second and third in SC2 points, while Merritt is seventh.

A Maxxis rider snared a victory in the morning race when Michael Swift won the U2 race for third overall on the a.m. podium. With five class victories this season, Swift is just three points away from first place overall for U2.
Maxxis congratulates and thanks all of its riders for their outstanding performances.
