Maxxis Riders Sweep Top 5 at Loretta Lynn’s GNCC
Suwanee, GA (5/02/2006) - Led by legendary
champ Bill Ballance, Maxxis’ sponsored riders roared
past the competition at Loretta Lynn’s GNCC ATV
race, sweeping the top five. The event was held April
22 in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.
Chris Borich, the other half of what has been dubbed
the “Killer B’s” by GNCC fans, took
the second place spot, while Chris Jenks nabbed third
place. Brent Sturdivant and Duane Johnson rounded out
the top five. Maxxis riders also took two other spots
in the top ten, with Bryan Baker in eighth place and
Matt Smiley in tenth place.
As Ballance told gnccracing.com, the contest was exciting
from start to finish: “It was pretty cool out
there. Everyone has stepped up this year. You just have
to hold it wide open on every lap. It’s intense.
All day long I just wanted to get out front. I had the
lead, but Chris got by and he was setting a good pace,
so I just wanted to stay with him. I’ve been riding
and riding and riding, so I wasn’t getting tired,
and I was in one heck of a groove.”
Borich expressed similar feelings in comments after
the race. “We hooked up and were battling,”
he told gnccracing.com. “It was fun out there.
I was leading a couple of times. I came in that second
lap, and I got a rock jammed in my wheels, I had to
get it out of there and they got by me. I got by Chris,
and I tried to reel Bill in but I ran out of time.”
Maxxis is proud to sponsor all of these fine riders,
and thanks them for proving yet again that champions
ride Maxxis.
