Society Hill, SC (5/1/2016) - The
temperatures were not the only thing heating up
as the fifth round of the 2016 AMSOIL Grand National
Cross Country (GNCC) Series presented by Maxxis,
an AMA National Championship, took place today,
April 30, at the Moree’s Sportsman’s Preserve in
Society Hill, South Carolina. The racing action
was nothing short of exciting with heated battles
taking place all day long at the Inaugural CST Tires
Camp Coker Bullet GNCC. By the time the 1 p.m. pro
race had started the overcast skies turned into
sunshine and the hot and humid day created a true
testament of the racer’s fitness levels, but at
the end of the grueling two-hour race it was CST/LSR/Induction
Solutions/DeRisi/SG/Tire Blocks’ Adam McGill claiming
the Inaugural win in the Palmetto State.

As the green flag dropped it was McGill who jumped
out to the early lead and claiming the $250 Wiseco
XC1 Holeshot Award. Once they crossed the finish
line for the first lap McGill had a nine second
lead over N-Fab/Maxxis/AmPro Yamaha/Lonestar/MXP’s
Walker Fowler in second.

CST's Adam
McGill took home an extra $250 courtsey
of Wiseco for grabbing XC1 Holeshot Award

With McGill and Fowler staying evenly spread
in the top two positions, perhaps the best battle
of the entire race was for the last podium position.
Borich held onto the third place position throughout
the second lap with N-Fab/Maxxis/AmPro Yamaha/Lonestar/MXP’s
Cole Richardson right behind him.

Adam McGill secured his 2nd straight Win
at the Camp Coker GNCC to close the points
gap on Walker Fowler in the lead

Meanwhile, Coastal Racing/MSR/Maxxis’ Brycen
Neal had his head down and began pushing through
the pro field after a mid-pack start. By the end
of the first hour Neal found himself in the mix
for the third place position with Richardson and
Borich.

the first time this season |
When McGill came across the white flag he was
being pushed by Fowler who was only two seconds
behind him. The fight for the lead tightened up
once they hit the motocross track and Fowler was
able to move past McGill. The lead was short lived
once Fowler ran over a berm, but he was able to
quickly rebound and still maintain the second
place position.

Maxxis' Walker
Fowler challenged Adam McGill for the
lead in the final lap, but he finished
the day in the second spot
|
“I had got around him just after the motocross
section,” said Fowler. “I had the lead very briefly
and made a mistake and blew a berm. It’s a bummer,
but I’m happy to be healthy and to go racing after
the crash at the last round.”
