[American Motorcyclist Association] - Fowler captures overall win at the Maxxis Canno
The following is an industry press release... Christofferson finishes first in XC2 Pro-Am MORGANTOWN, W.Va (March 13, 2016) - The second round of the 2016 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series (GNCC) presented by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship, took place March 12, at the Hill Family Farm in Sparta, Georgia. The brand-new Maxxis Cannonball GNCC provided plenty of racing action with N-Fab/Maxxis/AmPro Yamaha/Lonestar/MXP's Walker Fowler eventually taking home the inaugural win. As the green flag dropped it was CST/LSR/Induction Solutions/DeRisi/SG/Tire Blocks' Adam McGill who jumped out to the early lead claiming the $250 Wiseco Holeshot Award. McGill was able to escape the pileup behind him that involved Coastal Racing/MSR/Maxxis' Brycen Neal and BNR/Moose Racing/Maxxis-backed Josh Merritt.

After starting next to last, Neal spent the majority of the race battling with N-Fab/Maxxis/AmPro Yamaha/Lonestar/MXP's Cole Richardson and McGill. "I'm very happy and proud to be back on the box," said Neal. "This podium finish means a lot especially after getting tangled up on the start and coming back to fight through a tough pack." Once the white flag was out there was a drag race until the end. Borich pushed until the very end to pass Fowler, but just could not take the lead. Fowler would eventually cross the finish line followed by Borich and Neal. Walker Fowler earned his second win of the season this weekend.

Show Hauler/Canyon Motorsports/GBC-backed Landon Wolfe placed eighth, Richardson in ninth and GBC/HMF/FLY Racing/Yamaha's Johnny Gallagher rounded out the top 10 in the XC1 Pro class. Martin Christofferson (center) found his way to the center of the podium. Photo: Ken Hill "I saved myself in Florida," said Christofferson. "I just felt a lot better today and the terrain here fits my style a little better. I loved the new track and felt like it put everyone on an equal playing field." The 10 a.m. race was one to go in the record books with Missouri's Bryan Hulsey taking home the overall win along with $125 GT Thunder ATV Amateur Overall Award. The Super Senior (45+) competitor proved that he has what it takes to contend with the top amateurs. He was followed by 4x4 Pro class winner and Team UXC's Racing's Kevin Trantham who took second overall followed by Cunningham Racing/Can-Am/Spider Graphix/Gold Speed-backed Kevin Cunningham. Texas native Cody Miller placed fourth overall, but third in the 4x4 Pro class.

After finishing 34th overall last weekend, Bailey Morgerson had a standout performance where he rounded out the podium.
