Dalton Millican Race Report- AXtour Finale

Monday, February 11, 2013 | 9:45 AM
Dalton Millican riding his Nitro Fish backed ATV entered his second ArenaCross event of the season looking to continue the success he found at his last event in Memphis an event he won.
‚ 
The final event of the Arenacross season brought out a lot of riders including AMA ATV Pro Travis Moore and the newly crowned Arenacross Champion Hunter Haswell.
‚ 
Millican found himself on the gate of the 1st moto with Travis Moore. When the gate dropped Millican and Moore battled for the holeshot running into each other at the first turn. Moore made the turn and looked at a clear track in front of him. Moore quickly had Millican passing him. From that point on Millican and Moore bumped and banged each other until late in the race when the two became tangled. With their machines stuck together they were passed by the third place rider. Millican was able to get moving again and was able to regain the lead and take the checkered flag.
‚ 
Moto 2 got underway in front of the packed Tunica Expo Center with Millican out front. Millican was able to maintain a good steady pace and continually built a nice lead. Millican took the checkered flag to get his second Arenacross win in two tries this season.

““Tonight was a lot of fun. Travis and I had a great battle in the first moto. That was like some of the many practice sessions Travis and I have had together. We were really getting pretty rough with each other but we have done that before it was fun. I really am proud that I was able to come here tonight and get another win. I am really excited for our whole team. Today was my Daddy’s birthday and that win was my present to him.” Millican said.
