Budd! creck, ,rlD Round 4 June t a. 2(X)6 UBT Fl l'g:."T'i:lfl : J :l"iT::: [t+;=*;"l]ni#f rode to a pair of moto wins and his third overall victory of the year at round four of the Toyora Al''1A Motocross Champi- onship Series. Going into this year's Budds Creek race. Carmichael had never lost an AMA l'4otocross National here since movin8 up to the premier class in 2000, and his latest win made it seven straight. With Team Kawasaki's lames Stewart electinS to sit out the round in order to give his sore knee a chance to heal (see Briefly), Carmichael had a relatively easy time of thinSs, and other than a brief bat- tle with Chad Reed dunng the opening laps of moto tvo, perhaps Carmichael's only real concern may have been the heat and humidity, which reached nearly unbearable levels. However, Carmichael shrugged it off iust as easily as he did the competition and cruised home with a 24- second margin of victory in the gpening moto and ,ust less than half of that in the second moto, "We ,ust tried to put ourselves in a good position and it turned out to be a great weekend,' Carmichael said of his victory Second place was even a runaway, as Reed easily took the position after run- ninS solo in second for most of both motos. The Team Yamaha rider continued his stnng of podium frnishes, placing either second or third in everT moto of the outdoor National series this season. 34 JUNE 28,2006 .
