Paul Carpenter – Top SX Privateer in Phoenix!
Team Atomic Racing’s Paul Carpenter, the reigning 2007 Canadian National Motocross Champion, captured the top privateer honor with a solid12th Place finish at Round #2 of the 2008 AMA Supercross series held at Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ.
Paul currently sits tied for 11th place; just two points shy of tenth and is back in a familiar place as the top privateer in the series.
“The Phoenix race was a tough one for me. The track was really slippery and difficult to pass on. I’ve been working very hard and know where I should be and will not rest until I achieve the top ten results that I know I’m capable of achieving,” said Carpenter after the race.
Look for the #42 Atomic Racing, MDK backed Fox rider at Round #3 in Anaheim, CA this upcoming Saturday. “It’s 86’ Retro Night and I plan on joining the festivities by sporting a special Dirk Diggler inspired mustache just for the occasion,” concluded Paul.
