Round 6 of the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series descended
upon the Lawrence County Recreational Facility on Saturday for the
second running of the Dunlop Limestone GNCC. AmPro Yamaha's Walker
Fowler broke defending champ Chris Borich's five-race win streak
this season by claiming his first victory of 2013, marking his
second career win in the XC1 class. Additionally, Ohio's Brycen
Neal secured his fourth XC2 class win of the season in Indiana.
It was an exciting battle from start to finish in the two-hour
Limestone GNCC as Fowler, Reliable Tool Supply/Maxxis' Chris
Bithell, Maxxis-backed Borich and Lonestar Racing/Precision/ITP's
Adam McGill challenged the race-win all afternoon. But it was
Waynesburg Yamaha/GT Thunder's Pickens who took the early lead,
grabbing his second straight $250 Team Woodhead/DeRisi Racing XC1
Holeshot Award. It wasn't long before Fowler jumped out front, with
the trio of front-runners close behind.
Pickens dropped back to the sixth place position on the opening
lap, just behind JB Racing/Can-Am's Jarrod McClure, who maintained
a solid fifth place position all afternoon. XC1 rookie Braden
Henthorn didn't get off to the best start but the Team
Woodhead/DeRisi Racing rider pushed his way into the top five
battle, where he eventually landed sixth place overall.

HMF/GBC/Yamaha's Johnny Gallagher latched onto Pickens early the
race and the Yamaha-backed duo worked their way through the pack.
Pickens held on to take seventh place overall, while Gallagher
finished a close eighth. Waynesburg Yamaha's Gabe Phillips and
BNR's Kevin Yoho rounded out the top ten overall for the day.
Borich continues to lead the overall standings after six rounds of
racing, while Fowler sits in second place. Bithell is only 10
points behind for third and then it's McGill and Yoho rounding out
the top five overall in the overall National Championship
standings.
In the XC2 division, it was once again the rookie Brycen Neal who
came out victorious at Saturday's Limestone 100 GNCC. Neal put
himself out front early on and managed to put a comfortable gap on
the rest of the field as the two-hour race wore on. Indiana's very
own Fred Marley put himself in podium contention early on, going
back and forth with Neal and Honda rider Nathan Wallpe around the
halfway mark. Marley eventually settled into the second place
position, where he bested defending XC2 champ Patrick McGuire in
the finishing order.

McGuire got off to a bad start but eventually worked his way into
the front pack by Lap 3. McGuire was able to secure yet another
podium finish for the season with a third place in the XC2
division. Neal holds the points lead over McGuire in the
championship standings after six rounds of racing and rookie Landon
Wolfe maintains the third place spot after failing to score points
toward the championship.
Pennsylvania's Cole Richardson claimed an impressive 11th place
overall to earn his first Top Amateur award of the season.
Richardson topped a highly competitive College A class, in addition
to scoring higher than any XC2 Pro Am finisher in the time adjusted
overall.
