 |  Ballance won by overcoming a muddy, rock-strewn course 
                          that gnccracing.com called “almost impassable” 
                          in sections. “There was probably three miles of 
                          the track out there that was just as gnarly as probably 
                          anything we ever see on any track throughout the whole 
                          season,” Ballance told gnccracing.com. “At 
                          one time there was five or six of us together, I think 
                          Chris and Matt and Bithell, and we come into that one 
                          section and everybody started splitting off and going 
                          different directions, and I picked a line and thought, 
                          ‘Oh Lord, this is way out of the way, I’m 
                          getting ready to get passed by a bunch of people,’ 
                          and wound up getting on through it, and wound up being 
                          an easier but longer line and I didn’t get hung 
                          up, and I think I got around those guys right there. 
                          I just put my head down and started pushing.” 
                          Maxxis gained its 21st straight Holeshot Award when 
                          Borich took the lead at the start of the race. Chris 
                          Jenks took seventh place, and Brandon Sommers, who scored 
                          an overall top ten finish with ninth place, took his 
                          seventh Pro Am victory of the season.  Maxxis congratulates defending GNCC ATV champ Bill 
                          Ballance, and thanks all of its sponsored riders for
