Maxxis Dominates
ATVA MX, GNCC ATV Races
Suwanee, GA (4/17/2007) - Another
weekend of ATV racing shows why Maxxis is the choice of
champions: Two of the nation’s top series held events
April 14-15, and both were dominated by Maxxis racers.
Chris Borich won GNCC Round 4, tying Bill Ballance in
the points lead for the championship, while riders on
Maxxis took six spots in the top nine. Meanwhile, Dustin
Wimmer finished 1-2 in the Pro motos for the overall victory
at Round 4 of the ATVA MX GNC Series, with Maxxis-sponsored
riders taking nine of the top twelve. The races were held
in Union, South Carolina, and Macon, Georgia, respectively.

Chris Borich |
The GNCC win was the second in a row for Borich, who
finished in 2:09:40. “Yeah, I think I’m
going pretty good,” Borich told gnccracing.com.
“It was pretty dusty out there. I had a good line
and got around Bill [Ballance], and I knew as long as
I kept some lappers between me and him, he wouldn’t
be able to go and catch me. I feel like we can win this
championship, we’ll just keep looking things over
and training hard.”
Ballance took second place, and Matt Smiley made a
return to the top five, nabbing fifth place. Taylor
Kiser turned in another great performance in his first
year as a pro with a sixth place finish, while fellow
rookie Brandon Sommers took eighth place. Duane Johnson
finished just one second behind Sommers to take ninth
place.

Dustin Wimmer |
The GNC win was Wimmer’s first aboard his new
Factory Suzuki QuadRacer 450. Wimmer won the holeshot
in moto one, barreling through a wet, sandy course to
hold off teammate Doug Gust for the victory. Moto two
started off the same way, with Wimmer again grabbing
the holeshot followed by a conservative ride to the
second place finish that secured his overall victory.
Jeremy Lawson took third place and Doug Gust nabbed
fourth, while Jason Dunkelberger placed sixth. The eighth
through twelfth place spots were taken by, in order:
Rocco Anno, Russell Shumaker, Keith Little, John Ragon,
and Joe Haavisto.
Maxxis congratulates Chris Borich and Dustin Wimmer
on their victories and congratulates all of these riders
on their fine performances.
