Round 7 of the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series made a
stop in Millfield, Ohio for the 23rd running of the Wiseco John
Penton GNCC. Chris Borich
returned to his winning ways on Saturday, making a last lap pass on
Adam McGill to
secure his sixth win of 2013.
Eric Hoyland began his day by grabbing the $250 Team
Woodhead/DeRisi Racing XC1 Holeshot Award ahead of a stacked field
of riders. It didn't take long for the veteran front-runners to
take the lead, beginning with Lonestar Racing/Precision/ITP's Adam
McGill, who crossed the line in first on the opening lap. Borich
put his Maxxis-backed machine right behind McGill, while Reliable
Tool Supply/Maxxis' Chris
Bithell, BNR's Kevin Yoho and
JB Racing/Can-Am's Jarrod
McClure followed close behind.
AmPro Yamaha's Walker
Fowler and HMF/GBC/Yamaha's Johnny
Gallagher didn't get a start out front but the Yamaha-backed
duo quickly made their way through the pack. Fowler caught up to
the leaders, where he engaged in a battle for a podium position
with Bithell, Borich and McGill. A podium finish was in the cards
for Fowler until he ran out of gas on the final lap, where he ended
up finishing fourth overall for the day.

Although McGill led the most laps of the afternoon, it was Borich
who secured the overall win with his patented last-lap pass.
McGill's second place finish was a breakthrough ride, as it matched
his season-best second place at the opening round. Bithell's
consistent season continued as the Pennsylvania native secured a
third place overall finish.
Gallagher put in a solid ride to take fifth overall, while Yoho
came in sixth. Rookie Braden
Henthorn finished seventh, while Jeff Pickens,
Gabe
Phillips and Craig Bowman rounded out the top 10.
Borich continues to lead the overall standings after six rounds of
racing, while Fowler sits in second place. Bithell is close behind
for third and then it's McGill and Yoho rounding out the top five
overall in the overall National Championship standings.

Fred Marley
secured yet another podium finish behind the rookies, giving him a
