Veteran Kevin Windham had a strong showing in the first moto for
the senior Motocross class. The Mississippi-native pushed his Honda CRF450 to the front in the first turn, grabbing the holeshot over Ricky Carmichael. (Millville marked the final motocross races for Carmichael who will be racing stock cars this fall). K-Dub held the lead for the first lap before Carmichael took over the lead. Windham battled with a trio of riders before settling into fifth, his final finishing position. In Moto 2, Windham didn't start as well and was pushed to the back of the pack. A restart after a crash by David Vuillemin brought out the red flag. During the re-staging period, Windham's mechanic work tirelessly to replace a bad chain. While the repairs were made in time, the new chain didn't hold up during the restart and Windham was forced from the race after the first lap. Windham sits seventh in the AMA Motocross standing with two races remaining.As for the new, that belonged to rookie Lites rider Trey Canard. The Oklahoma Kid was making his pro debut at Millville and didn't disappoint his supporters. Canard ran well in the first moto
, running as high as sixth before he fell in the tricky sand section, landing on a rock and deeply bruising his shoulder. Canard regrouped in time for the second moto and, despite the obvious pain, became the second AMSOIL rider to grab a holeshot off the start. While he ran as high as second, he finally settled into fourth and ran, uncontested for much of the race, in that position. Lites teammate Josh Grant also rode well at Millville, running as high as second in the first moto before finishing sixth. Grant, who started near the back of the pack in the second moto, rebounded for a tenth and a seventh overall. Jake Weimer also ran well, finishing tenth in the first moto and sixth in the second. The second-year rider finished sixth overall for the weekend. Grant is still third overall in Lites class and Weimer is sixth.Overall Results
