GNCC ATV Racing
Round 10 - "Unadilla"
New Berlin, NY -Chris Borich kicked off the second half of the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series by taking his eighth win of the season, using his patented last-lap charge to win the Can-Am Unadilla GNCC in New Berlin, New York.

Chris Borich - Suzuki LTR450 ATV

Suzuki's Chris Borich ate some roost early in the race, but at the checkered Borich held the lead for his 8th Win of the year to extend his points lead to 45 points

Borich mixed it up with Balance Racing Yamaha's Taylor Kiser and Warnert Racing Can-Am's Adam McGill during the first four laps of the two-hour race, but like he as done several times this year the Pennsylvania rider picked up the pace on the final lap, putting his Yoshimura Suzuki into the lead to edge Kiser for the win.

"I was trying everywhere to get around Taylor and he finally left the door open and I was able to get him. After that I just put the hammer down to get a bit of breathing room," said Borich. "He pitted a lap before us and that gave him the lead, so I just tried my best to catch up with him and once I did I just dogged him until he made a mistake."

The win extended Borich's lead in the title chase to a whopping 45 points over Kiser with just three rounds remaining on the schedule.

Ballance Racing's Taylor Kiser once again claimed the 2nd spot for sixth time this year, but time is running out with only three rounds left for Kiser to make a run at Borich for a Championship

Kiser had been in good position to claim his second win of the year when he took the lead on the second lap of the race, however, a transmission problem at the halfway point threw a wrench into his plans.

"We pitted a little earlier than everyone else and that gave us the lead and then we just put in a really good, solid race," said Kiser. "But our motor started acting up with about two laps to go and I just couldn't keep up the pace, so a mechanical issue kept me from the win today. But we'll be back… trust me, I'm coming."

Adam McGill - CanAm DS450 ATV

Can-Am's Adam McGill consistency continues at Unadilla with his 7th podium finish of the year

McGill held the lead at the end of the first lap – coming from behind after getting tangled up right after the start – and put in a good race to finish third.

"This is the first race back and I'm happy to be on the podium" said McGill. "I ran with Borich at the first part of the race, but Kiser had a good pit strategy and he moved in front of both of us. Borich and Kiser were running a fast race and I just did what I could."

"Getting caught up with the lapper dropped me back to fourth, but I felt good all day and I think I ran a strong race," said Bithell. "The Can-Am was pulling really strong today and I wish I had been on the box, but you take what you can get."

Fifth place went to Donnie Ockerman, who claimed the $250 Motorcycle-USA.com holeshot award to start the race. Meanwhile, Yamaha riders made up the next four positions, with Jeffrey Pickens, Brandon Sommers, Patrick Brown and Johnny Gallagher filling the sixth through ninth spots. Honda-mounted Craig Bowman rounded out the top 10.
