Can-Am/Warnert Racing’s Adam McGill was looking good as he grabbed an early lead, but he was not alone as Chris Borich was close behind in second place going into lap two. McGill held off Borich for another lap before he fell back to second place. McGill kept moving forward and held on to take a solid second place.

“I was pushing really hard, and I was able to stay with Chris (Borich) for a little while, but then he just pulled away. I’m still happy to get second and be on the podium for the Can-Am/Warnert team. I’m trying to stay consistent and be up here every round,” stated McGill.

Yamaha/Ballance Racing’s Taylor Kiser was third going into the woods in the first lap. For this round, Kiser was testing out some changes that were made to his JB Racing’s a-arms. The new caster angle seemed to help Kiser keep a consistent pace despite the incredibly rough track as he held down his position for the entire race to claim third overall and take the final spot on the afternoon podium at the Big Buck GNCC.

Can-Am/Warnert Racing’s Chris Bithell, who found his way to the podium for the first three rounds, got off to a mid-pack start in sixth place and worked into fifth by the second lap. Bithell paced himself and gave a final push in the last two laps, working into fourth in the fourth lap. Bithell pushed hard, but was unable to make and head way and held his position for the final lap and crossed the finish line in fourth.

Bryan Cook was running a solid fifth in the Pro class in the first two laps, but one of the pitfalls of being a working man and not having the ability to train full time, like many other pro’s, took its toll in the final laps as Cook began to tire and fade. Cook fell to seventh in the final lap, where he would stay until reaching the checkered flag.
