Brian Wolf Takes Snowshoe GNCC Overall for 2nd Straight Year
Chris Borich Takes Pro Win, Walker Fowler Takes Third Overall

Snowshoe, WV - Confusion and a lot of unanswered questions summed up the afternoon portion of the Snowshoe GNCC as Brian Wolf became the overall winner for a second year in a row. Wolf's adjusted time was enough to clinch the win and steal the show accomplishing what many felt was an almost impossible feat two years in a row.

HMF's Brian Wolf grabbed the XC2 Holeshot & went on to amazingly once again claim the $10,000 Overall Win purse

The questions about the finishing order and speculation of an official protest began almost immediately after the checkered flag flew as Rockstar / Suzuki mounted Chris Borich crossed the finish line. The main question being asked was how did the XC2 class leaders skate by the XC1 class very early in the race. Speculation and rumors filled the pits for almost 2 hours after the finish as the details started to emerge. Just a few miles into the first lap, was the location of all the drama as the front running XC2 riders took a route that allowed them to bypass many of XC1 racers. It was made clear that this "alternate" line was not taken to purposely cut the course or to cheat, but there was confusion on which line was the correct line for the course, which prompted a protest and delayed the final outcome of the race results.

The Snowshoe Afternoon Podium celebration was delayed for nearly two hours as the race officials reviewed the protest & amazingly a large crowd of spectators waited for the celebration, but it was still announced that the results still were not finalized, but with the summer break coming to an end, ATVriders.com is now certain the results will not be changed, which was the reason for the delay in the race report

After the long wait, the top three overall riders were brought to the podium as Brian Wolf, Chris Borich and Walker Fowler took their positions in that order as the crowd absorbed what had been previously relayed from the race officials.

Chris Borich

Maxxis' Chris Borich claimed his 7th Pro Class Win of the season, which extended his points lead to 40 points with just 4 rounds remaining

For Wolf, the $10,000 purse and the gloat that was hard fought for taking his second overall at what is acclaimed as "America's Toughest Race". Wolf explained from the podium how they set their ATV up specifically for this challenging event and just rode it as hard as he could and it sure played out well for their team!

For the defending XC1 champion, Chris Borich would voice his thoughts on the day and immediately the issue came to light for him as he stated the XC2 racers came out of nowhere and he knew it would be a long day. Pushing hard, Borich did his best to put as much time down as he could but in the end it wouldn't be enough to take the overall. The XC1 win however put another few points between him and Taylor Kiser, padding the lead as Borich seems headed for his second XC1 championship. Now for Walker Fowler, this day was a major highpoint in his young racing career.
