Springville, IN (5/12/2012)
– Defending champion, Chris Borich claimed
another win at the Limestone 100, round number
six, of the 2012 GNCC series, while he was joined
on the podium by Adam McGill in second and Taylor
Kiser in third.
This was another new track for the series
and featured creek beds and elevation changes
over the 10+ mile course. The weather for
this round was good which, was a benefit for
racers, as they left the starting line for
the XC1 Pro class.

Limestone 100 GNCC |
Chris Borich, who has won four out of the
last five rounds, was looking for another
win at Limestone, and that was exactly what
he did. Borich didn’t get the greatest
start and was only in tenth place at the end
of the first lap. Once he got a feel for the
track, Borich put the hammer down and worked
his way through traffic and by the end of
the third lap; he was in second place right
behind Adam McGill. Borich cruised in the
number two spot until the final lap when he
made his move and took over the lead. Once
out front, Borich checked out and finished
28 seconds ahead of McGill for his fifth win
of the season.

Adam McGill held the lead for the majority
of the race with Borich in chase, but
in the final lap, Borich took the lead
with McGill finishing in the 2nd spot

“I got a decent start in fourth and
then I got out front and I was feeling really
good. Chris (Borich) passed me in a field
and I tried to get him back, but I wasn’t
able to train much last week due to the weather
and I just hit a wall. Overall it was a good
race. The track was good and it was fun so
I am glad to finish on the podium,”
said McGill, who will possibly be teaming
up with Cody Gibson and Joe Byrd for France’s
Pont de Vaux in August.

5 points behind McGill in the 2nd place

Yamaha/Ballance Racing’s Taylor Kiser
was in mid-pack off the start and was on the
move going into the second lap. “I got
into about fourth in the second lap, but then
I hit a tree in lap three and fell back a
bit. I was able to move back up pretty quickly
and get in behind McGill,” explained
Kiser, who claimed third at the finish line.
“It wasn’t the best race for me,
but it wasn’t the worst. I made it to
the podium, so I’m pretty happy with
that and I have to thank the team for all
of their hard work today to get me there,”
Kiser added.
