Dalton
placed 4th in the LCQ to secure a spot
on the gate for Sunday's main event
|
Bowling Green, KY (4/7/2009)
- Dalton was riding at one of his favorite
tracks, Balance Moto X in Bowling Green KY
this past weekend. Dalton finished 16th overall,
while that was not the end results he wanted,
the Lonestar Honda he is riding continues
to improve.
Maximum Cycle has designed a new cylinder
head that is making a lot of power and in
the first moto I had a great start but got
my wheels tangled with another rider going
into the first turn. Once I got going I was
able to make up a lot of positions but wound
up11th. This put me into the last chance qualifier
Millican said. In the LCQ Millican pulled
the holeshot and was able to hold onto a 4th
place finish. This 4th place finish put Millican
into moto 2 on Sunday.

| Due
to a fractured L4 Vertebrae, Millican
will need to rest and hope to be ready
for Sunset Ridge |
In moto 2 Millican had a decent start and ran
some of his best lap times of the weekend. I
am really disappointed that I had to race my
way in from the LCQ because I did not get a
good gate pick for the second moto, but my bike
handled really well and I felt comfortable on
it Millican said. Millican ended moto 2 with
a solid 11th place finish.
Millican really had to do some fast talking
to even get to race at the Bluegrass Nationals.
The day we were leaving for the race my parents
got the results from a MRI I done because of
my back hurting. The results were that I have
a fractured L4 vertebrae. The Doctor wants me
to take off for 6 to 8 weeks. I will take off
for a few weeks and try and be ready for Sunset
Ridge Nationals.
