Carrier captures two at Daniel Boone MX IS GN By Susan Willian LONDON, KY, MAY 11 Molosports KIM-backed Rodney Carrier rode to three class wins at the SunStar Sprockets Race Day at Daniel Boone.MX. Ca rrier aced both motos of the Over 25 A class, despite attempts by Mark Guy to steal the lead. In the Over 30 A class, Carrier and Guy again squared off, with Carrier gaining the upper hand at the finish. Carrier's final race of the day came in the 250cc A class, where he flew to two moto wins to claim six out of six motos for the day. In the 125cc A class, top contender john Brunck shot off the gate like a bullet in moto one, where he held to a comfortable lead until the final lap, when Adam Vaughn challenged and X A him for the front spot; but Brunck, the more experienced rider, clung to the win, with Vaughn taking the runner-up position. Brunck went down on the start of moto two, and Vaughn took advantage to take the point position. By lap two, Brunck had made up his lost ground and began to attack Vaughn for the lead. With one lap remaining and the overall win at stake, the two riders diced heavily. Brunck made a gutsy move as he took the inside of a tum to take the lead for the moto and overall win, with Vaughn chalking up another second. Midwest Motosportsl FMF I Pro Actionsponsored J.R. Carter was untouchable as he held off his competitors to win the Super Mini Class with a 1-1. The first moto saw a race for fourth develop between Derrick Young and Justin jones as Carter ran off with the win. jones applied pressure to Young on the second lap to finally take advantage of Young's swinging wide in a bermed tum to tuck inside and move into fourth. Midway through the moto, jones went down, injuring his left arm, allowing Young to move back into fourth. Devin Hedrick, who tried desperately to catch Carter, filed by in second, with jon Witherspoon laking third and Young fourth. jones finished a disappointing 12th. The second moto saw Carter walk off with the win, with Hedrick taking second again. Witherspoon landed another third, while Young dropped a position to fifth. Carter repeated his shining performance in the Senior Mini 14- to 15-year-old class to go 1-1 for the overall win.
