Chino, Calif. – June 8, 2010 – Yoshimura’s Chris Borich once again was victorious in the GNCC ATV series, this weekend at the John Penton race in Millfield, Ohio. Mud, fast racing, and Borich and his Yoshimura-prepped QuadRacer R450 ruled Round 8 of the series. The win marks defending champion Borich’s sixth win of the 2010 season.
Borich got a good start off the line thanks to the power of his Yoshimura-built engine, and he found enough traction and agility to make the most of the slippery course. Borich kept himself up front as he diced with other racers, and when the opportunity to pull away with the lead in the last lap arose, Borich had enough power on tap to make the most of it. Borich turned a small gap into a 30-second lead at the finish line.
“My Yoshimura engine really helped me get ahead in this race,” Borich said. “It was slick and muddy, but I had the power to pull ahead and get a good gap between me and the rest of the racers. I’m looking forward to the rest of the season and hope we can keep this momentum going.”
Borich has won six races so far this year and hasn’t finished off the podium in 2010. Borich extended his lead to 28 points with his win on Saturday, and he shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Round 9 of the GNCC series takes place on June 26-27 in Snowshoe, West Virginia, before the summer break pauses the action until September.
