"I think I got around Bithell down by
the creek section, he went right and followed
a lapper and I was able to make my way out front,"
Borich said.

The Suzuki-mounted duo battled it out until
the very end but experience overpowered all
once again as Borich claimed his fourth consecutive
victory in 2013. Borich's win also put him one
step closer to beating the all-time win record
of 67, as the champ now holds 63 career wins.

McGill dropped back halfway through the race
where he engaged in a battle with Fowler for
the third place spot. Fowler turned up his intensity
when the 2-Lap card fell and that's when he
made the pass stick on McGill. Both riders charged
to the finish line but this time it was Fowler
who claimed the final podium position by less
than one second over McGill.
"I had a good race today. I made a couple
of mistakes out there but I just flat out got
beat," Fowler said. "I'm going to
keep on plugging away."
