Dragon Racing Fuels Race Report – Millville

Millville, MN –
Heading into Round 7 at Spring Creek Motocross Park, Team Dragon Racing
Fuels/1-866-KTM-PART’s hopes were high and the anticipation for a good
day of racing was on the minds of #175 Phil Nicoletti and #690 Ricky
Winters.


With a little more time on the KTM, Ricky Winters was confident on
gaining his first professional position in the Fast Forty. The rookie
spent this last week preparing for his attack on Millville and to give
a great first impression to the Whoop Monster. Ricky has made
incredible progress in his move up to the professional ranks and great
things lie in the future of this extremely gifted rider. Unfortunately
a crash in the first practice took the wind out of his sails and with
the declining track conditions of the second qualifying practice, Ricky
will have to bring his newfound Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Championship
Series experience into the beautiful landscape of Washougal for his
first lineup on the starting gate with top riders of the world. "I am
very disappointed", said Winters, "The team is working extremely hard
to get me ready for the races"… "They give me great equipment and the
rest is up to me… I will get it done". Team Dragon Racing
Fuels/1-866-KTM-PART couldn’t agree more!


After qualifying 23rd overall, Phil Nicoletti put himself into the
position of a mid pack gate pick. As the gate dropped for Moto 1, Phil
found himself coming through the first turn in the back of the pack.
Determination kicked in and Phil started picking off riders one at a
time bringing himself into the top twenty, finishing 17th. However,
Nicoletti was docked 5 positions for venturing out of bounds in an area
where the markers were knocked down and he was unclear of where the
line actually was. The penalty ended up putting Phil 22nd overall for
the first Moto.


Anxious to redeem himself, Nicoletti was determined to get a good start
and finish what he had started in Moto 1. He got a great start off the
gate and was in the lead pack coming out of the first turn. Nicoletti
was riding with passion on his Team Dragon Racing Fuels/1-866-KTM-PART
250SXF and was shooting for his first top 10 of the Series. Fighting
his way to the 12th spot and setting his sights forward, Phil, along
with most of the 250 riders, experienced the difficult uphill double
that was taking its toll on all of the machines. Nicoletti made a
mistake and cased the jump one too many times causing a mechanical
failure putting him out of the race. Phil Nicoletti finished 22-29 for
a disappointing 28th overall.
