Chris Borich, who won the XC1 Pro ATV championship in the 2014 Grand National Cross Country Series, was honored in January as the AMA ATV Athlete of the Year.



He was honored at the AMA Championship Banquet on Jan. 17 at the Aladdin Event & Conference Center in Columbus, Ohio. The AMA presented champions their 2014 AMA national No. 1 plates, recognized the season's best organizers and announced the 2014 AMA Athletes of the Year.



Borich, from Sunbury, Pa., races for Team Maxxis. He was unable to attend the event due to off-season training. Tim Cotter, GNCC event director, accepted the award on Borich's behalf.



“The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Chris is that he is tenacious in his racing,” Cotter said. “When he goes to that starting line, it is all about that first turn, but the most important thing about Chris is his family. They are always there. His parents are always there supporting him.”



The AMA also honored the Iowa ATV Hare Scrambles Series as ATV Organizer of the Year.



Motorsports media personalities Laurette Nicoll and Greg White emceed the banquet, which awarded national championship trophies to racers in more than a dozen AMA-sanctioned series and events.

Sponsors and supporters of the 2014 AMA Championship Banquet included 1.7 Cleaning Solution, ASK Motorsports, Atlas Brace Technologies, Barnett Clutches, Beta USA, Bromley Motorcycle Sales, Brooks Leather Sportswear, Fly Racing, Galfer USA, Helmet House: Tourmaster, Iron Pony Motorsports, Matrix Concepts, Next Components, Shoei Helmets and SPOT LLC.
