Millfield, OH (7/9/2011)
- Suzuki’s Chris Borich took the win and
extended his points lead at round number eight
of the 2011 GNCC series and was joined on the
podium by Yamaha/Ballance Racing’s Taylor
Kiser in second and Brian Wolf in third. Meanwhile
Yamaha/Ballance Racing’s Walker fowler continued
to dominate, taking his eighth straight win in
the Pro-am class.
Sunday Creek Raceway was the hosting facility
for the John Penton round with sunny skies and
temps in the mid 80’s. Track conditions
were good, with some areas of mud around the
creek crossings, but mostly just tacky conditions
and very little dust.
The pro points battle between reigning champ
Chris Borich and Adam McGill continued into
this round with McGill trailing Borich by only
seven points after McGill took the overall win
at Snowshoe. McGill was looking for another
victory at the John Penton round and hoping
to take over the points lead, however, Borich
was not about to go down without a fight.

#1 Chris Borich finishes the 1st half
of the season with his 5th win of the
season & extends his points lead to
27 points over Can-Am's Adam McGill who
suffered mechanical issues & finished
back in 11th place |
Chris Borich, who was on a mission after being
defeated at Snowshoe, was looking strong and
fast as he paced himself in second behind Chris
Bithell in the first lap. The pair battled it
out and both ended up getting stuck on hill,
putting Borich back into fourth. Borich charged
hard and made his way back into second behind
Bithell once again and was waiting for the opportunity
to make his signature last lap pass for the
lead. Borich made his move in the fourth lap,
taking the lead and the win.
