Yadkinville, NC - Chris Borich sat poised on his Rockstar/Makita Suzuki as he awaited the call to the starting line for what could be his final race in his quest for the GNCC XC1 Pro ATV championship. A heavy mist was turning to rain as Borich headed to the line with excitement in the air because all Borich had to do was finish eight points ahead of Taylor Kiser to claim a career first GNCC Championship and dethrone Yamaha’s Bill Ballance who has amazingly won the past nine straight GNCC Championships.

With two hours of intense racing ahead, and on a track that is known for miles of single line track, one could not discount the possibility that this round could easily be just one more race and we would have to stretch the hunt to round 12 at the Powerline Park GNCC. With loads of talent seated beside Borich on the front row, it would be anyone’s game if they could get out front and keep Borich at bay.. As the “10 Seconds” call bellowed, all questions were about to be answered.

Bill Ballance would quickly put his Yamaha out front as the 9 time GNCC Pro ATV Champion worked his YFZ450X through the first few turns. Behind him, the remainder of the pro ATV class battled fiercely as they knew getting into the woods in a good position was paramount if they wanted a chance at the podium. For Chris Borich, it was a mid pack start as he raced into the woods now growing with the sound of the Pro class doing battle in the trees.
