Borich & Adam McGill swap the lead
several times in the final lap, with Borich
holding the lead at the Checkered to claim
the win over McGill |
Borich fought back, though and gained the lead
one more time, but then his engine started to
go south. "I knew it was barely gonna'
hold on, all I could do was dump the clutch
and hope it kept pulling," said Borich.
"In those fields, I could smell him, so
I just hoped I could push him enough so he could
rev it out and blow It up," said McGill.
Borich's engine held together, barely, billowing
smoke as he crossed the finish two seconds ahead
of McGill."Hey, it did its job," said
Borich.
Sommers overcame fellow Yamaha rider Taylor
Kiser, who ran third early. "I caught up
to Taylor and it looked like something was wrong,"
said Sommers. "But as soon as I passed
him he went back after me, of course. It was
fun, but then I saw his handlebars had actually
come loose, so I was able to get away."
