>> What an impressive first moto for Triggr Racing rider, Henry Miller. This Minne- sota native came out swinging at his home track when the gates dropped at Spring Creek. The number 81 machine flew through the first sandy corner with confidence as he found himself in the eleventh place spot early in the moto. The question now was, could Miller hold on to this throughout the long grueling race that was ahead of him? Henry Miller answered this question with ease when, with only a few laps remaining, he moved into the tenth place position and then was able to grab the ninth place spot just in time for the checkered flag. With confidence still at a high after a great first moto performance, Henry Miller lined up for the second moto in his home state hungry for
a better start and another finish within the prestigious top ten. Fans held their breath as the thirty-second card went up and the gates dropped. With a flawless jump off the gate, Miller grabbed the Holeshot, but his amazing start was immediately followed by misfortune when he went down hard. This crash sent Henry Miller back to the twenty- sixth place spot, but he was not going to give up. Getting back on his steed, Miller was ready to start redeeming himself. Lap after lap, Miller gained positions and soon found himself sitting in fifteenth place and was able to finish his second moto in a very com- mendable fourteenth place spot. Henry Miller made sure that everyone knew his name after his 9-14 finishes in Millville resulting in an awesome twelfth place overall. Hope- fully we see more top tens out of this rider in the next few rounds because we all know that he is capable of some outstanding results.
