                                          Millican had a great holeshot and placed 
                                          6th in moto 1 | 
                                  
                                  Walnut, IL (5/5/2009) - 
                                    Dalton Millican returned to competition this 
                                    past weekend in Walnut Illinois after missing 
                                    the last event due to fractured vertebrae. 
                                  
In Moto 1 Millican got the holeshot and made 
                                    his way to a 6th place finish. This was Millican's 
                                    best start since moving up from Production 
                                    C to the very competitive Production A class.
                                  In Moto 2 on Sunday Millican was in 4th place 
                                    with the race past half way when he and another 
                                    rider got their wheels tangled together. This 
                                    crash cost Millican what looked to be a good 
                                    finish.

                                          Millican was happy to be back racing 
                                          again after his injury | 
                                  
                                  "I was just so happy to be back racing. 
                                  I only practiced once before heading to Walnut. 
                                  The longer I waited to ride the more time it 
                                  gave my back a chance to heal up. After the 
                                  first practice Joe Byrd gave me a few tips on 
                                  some things I needed to do and it helped me 
                                  a lot. After not riding at all for three weeks 
                                  finishing 6th in that first Moto was a good 
                                  way to come back. I just got caught in a bad 
                                  position in the 2nd Moto and it cost me" 
                                  Millican said. 
                                  
                                  Millican's next event will be Steel City Raceway, 
                                  in Delmont PA. May 24.
