Union SC (4/12/2014) – Round 4 of the 2014 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series presented by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship, showcased yet another exciting last-lap battle between Walker Fowler and Chris Borich in the XC1 Pro ATV Championship. The duo exchanged the lead several times throughout the two-hour race but in the end, it was Borich who emerged victorious at Saturday's VP Racing Fuels Big Buck GNCC in Union, S.C.

Chris Borich grabbed the $250 Twin Air/DeRisi Racing XC1 Holeshot Award

Borich kicked off the afternoon by grabbing the $250 Twin Air/DeRisi Racing XC1 Holeshot Award as he led the pack into the woods on the opening lap. Fowler then took over the lead for the next three laps but Borich kept himself within one second of Fowler's rear wheel.

The duo remained wheel-to-wheel until the final lap when Borich made a mistake that sent him to the ground. "On the last lap I ended up clipping a tree and he [Fowler] gapped me a good 30 seconds. I just knew I had to put the hammer on him and I finally caught up," Borich said.

Fowler got stuck behind a lapped rider and Borich was able to make his way back into the lead position. From there, Fowler wasn't able to make up the lost ground on Borich.

"At the end there, Borich made a mistake and I tried to take advantage and get as far in front of him as I could but it didn't end up going that way," Fowler said. "I can't buy any luck and lapped riders just aren't helping me this year. But I'm happy to leave here healthy and safe."
