Paul Carpenter – Top Privateer in 8th place at Atlanta!
|
Paul, piloting his #42 Deluge Sport/Fox Racing backed Honda CRF450R, had a tumultuous start inside the Georgia Dome during the Main. He rounded the first lap back in 13th place, but road strong to the end picking-off rider after rider to secure the 8th spot.
“Atlanta went well. I’ve been consistent this season, but not finishing where I know I can. This 8th place finish was a definite step in the right direction for me and the team for sure,” said Carpenter after the race.
Team Atomic Racing is also pleased to announce the launch of their new website: www.teamatomicmx.com. Inside you’ll find Rider Profiles, Sponsor Links, Team Photos, a Weekly News Section and much more. Be sure to check it out!
