Masontown, WV (5/27/2012) –
Marvin’s Mountain Top was the site of
another victory for defending pro champ, Chris
Borich, at round number seven of the 2012 GNCC
series, where Yamaha /Ballance Racing teammates
Taylor Kiser and Walker Fowler joined him on
the pro podium.
The Mountaineer Run featured a track that
was similar to the last three rounds with
plenty of rocks, trees, hill climbs, and of
course, a few mud holes. The weather was quite
warm with temps hovering around 90 degrees,
but that was no match for a determined Chris
Borich.

Borich was close behind. Kiser held off the
competition for two laps, before Borich got
by, putting Kiser in second. Kiser held his
position for the remainder of the race despite
his teammate Walker Fowler closing in late
in the race. “It was a good track and
a good race. I was in the lead for a couple
of laps and didn’t make any mistakes
but Chris got by me at the white flag,”
said Kiser.
Yamaha / Ballance Racing’s Walker Fowler
didn’t get the best start as he was
only in the number nine spot in the first
lap. Fowler was on a mission, however, and
charged his way into sixth place by the end
of the second lap. Fowler stayed in sixth
for another lap before making another charge
and making his way into third in the final
lap. Fowler was looking strong and held his
position all the way to the checkered flag
