Factory FRE/KTM rider Adam McGill earned his second win in a row at the third round of the ATV GNCC Series.
After a dominating win at the Georgia round McGill repeated the result thisweekend to prove it wasn't a fluke and he is indeed a title contender for thisseason's championship.
Just like he did at round 2, McGill pulled an amazing holeshot and got outfront fast. By the end of the first lap he had already put 20 seconds on thesecond place rider, Bill Balance. McGill's teammate, Taylor Kiser started a bitfarther back around 10th place and had moved into 7th by the end of lap one.
After the first lap Kiser had caught up with Brandon Sommers and Chris Borichand the three riders battled throughout the remainder of the two hour race. "Icaught up to the front pack rather quickly but every time I tried to pass Iwould get stuck behind lappers in a bottleneck and lose time. It was a one-linedcourse and since I didn't have the start I needed I struggled to break through,"commented Kiser. Meanwhile, McGill was still pulling out front stretching hislead to over a minute. McGill would go on to win after leading the race start tofinish in a near flawless ride out front. Kiser finished 7th for the day earningenough points to keep him in the title chase. After three rounds McGill andKiser now sit one and two in the series points.
"I am so happy to be on top of the podium for the second week straight,"replied McGill after the race. "This is where I've known I could be for a longtime, but I couldn't have made it happen if it wasn't for the help of my teamand a great bike. My KTM is running perfect and almost makes my job seem easy."
