Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s
Chris Borich on the Podium at GNCC Opener
Brea, CA (3/5/2009) - Rockstar
Makita Suzuki’s Chris Borich got a good
start in the race, and a solid beginning to
the race season, with a 2nd-place finish at
Sunday’s GNCC Racing opening round in
Lake Wales, Florida.
The 2009 Grand National Cross-Country Championships
opening round has become the traditional start
of Bike Week, and this year’s Florida
venue keeps that alive. The West Gate River
Ranch Resort race site south of Orlando is
complete with the typical Florida GNCC terrain.
The sandy course turned rough and rutted quickly.
Borich took command right from the start;
he grabbed the holeshot and maintained the
race lead through the first three laps. “My
QuadRacer LT-R450 was running perfectly and
powered me to the early lead,” said
Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Chris Borich.
“The track got really rough, but we’re
used to that in Florida. I’m glad to
be on the podium, but I definitely want to
get that victory soon. My team and I are well
prepared for this season.”
The second round of the 2009 GNCC ATV Racing
season takes place March 7 in Washington,
Georgia.
