New Berlin, NY (9/20/2015) - The
XC1 Pro ATV championship has a new leader after
the tenth round of racing of the 2015 AMSOIL Grand
National Cross Country (GNCC) series, presented
by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship. N-Fab/AmPro/Yamaha/Maxxis/Lonestar’s
Walker Fowler claimed his fifth victory of the season,
where he ultimately took over the lead in the GNCC
Racing Pro ATV points championship. Fowler’s teammate
Cole Richardson topped the XC2 Pro Am division by
a whopping six minutes to give the N-Fab AmPro Yamaha
squad a clean sweep at the legendary Unadilla MX
for the 11th running of the Parts Unlimited Unadilla
GNCC in New Berlin, New York.

It was CST/PirateMX.com/LSR/DeRisi/Tireblocks/SG’s
Adam McGill who shot out to claim the $250 AMSOIL
XC1 Pro Holeshot and the early lead. Fowler crept
his way up to the front, and it didn’t take long
for the duo began their race-long battle for the
lead. McGill pulled ahead after the first pit
stop, due to Fowler getting off the quad to make
a quick adjustment.

Adam McGill grabbed the holeshot &
he was battling for the win until the
final lap when he suffered a mechanical
issue ,but the fans jumped in and helped
push his quad to finish 9th overall
|
“I jumped off and adjusted the micro steering
stabilizer. It made the machine act much better
on this rough terrain,” said Fowler. “I lost 10-15
seconds at that time doing what I did, but I think
I definitely gained in the long run.”

Once the steering issue was resolved, Fowler
and McGill were riding wheel-to-wheel until bad
luck struck McGill on the last lap. Fortunately,
the infamous “McGill Mafia” was able to push McGill
to the finish line, but he would end up dropping
to ninth overall.

Team Maxxis’ Chris Borich first made an appearance
at the inaugural Unadilla event in 2005, and being
no stranger to the track meant that when the white
flag flew he knew to pick up the pace. Borich
was able to move from fourth to second on the
last lap, making it one of his best season finishes.
The Pennsylvania native considers Unadilla to
be a favorite stop on the circuit.

Chris Borich claimed his third 2nd place
finish of the season, but he has yet to
win on his new Yamaha ride in 2015

“It’s a close to home track, and it’s nice to
be up here with the WYNOA crew,” reported Borich.
“There’s always a lot of riders and fans, and
it makes for a great race.”
Coming into this round from his first-ever GNCC
overall win, JMR/ATVRiders.com Jarrod McClure
found himself once again on the podium. McClure
has been on the last four Unadilla podiums, and
today he stood in the third place spot.
