Maxxis takes 7 of top 11 at John Penton GNCC

Suwanee, GA (5/23/2006) - Maxxis continues to dominate the Suzuki GNCC ATV series: Chris Jenks topped the third all-Maxxis podium of the season as he finished ahead of Bill Ballance and pro-rookie Duane Johnson at the Wiseco John Penton GNCC. The second place finish took six-time champ Bill Ballance a step closer to tying Barry Hawk's championship record, as he regained the overall points lead over Chris Borich with six races remaining. Seven of the top 11 finishers rode Maxxis as the Razr, Razr2, and Razr continue to rule America's premier off-road racing series.

Jenks, currently sitting in third place behind the Killer B's of Ballance and Borich, is pumped and ready to make it three wins in a row at the Tire Balls Spartan GNCC on June 10. But the story of the weekend may have been Duane Johnson's first podium, which moved the unheralded rookie to fourth place in the GNCC overall point standings through seven rounds.

Other Maxxis riders in the top 11 include Sean Neidlinger, who nabbed 7th place, and Bryan Baker, Chris Borich, and Tyler Lenig, who took 9th, 10th, and 11th places, respectively.

Maxxis congratulates all of these outstanding riders on their fine performances.
