#6 Taylor Kiser is
all smiles with a podium finish

Millfield, OH (6/11/2009) -After
the Somerset race I decided to head north to continue
my training regimen in anticipation of the last
half of the season. I spent many hours training
and a lot of time focusing on my suspension and
quad setup. Needless to say I headed into the Penton
feeling more confident than ever. Saturday morning
the weather was nearly perfect and as I headed to
the line I was anxious to get the race underway.
I had yet another great jump off the line; my
Yamaha powered to the first corner, allowing me
to grab the holeshot. The first lap the top three
riders swapped positions many times as we made
our way through the course. My goal was to remain
near the front and ride smart; I was confident
this would put me up front in the last lap of
the race. At the close of Lap one I was in third
place right behind the leaders.
The mileage of each lap was a tad longer for
this race which equaled longer lap times; I know
I would pit in lap two. In the second lap I fell
to the fifth place position but remained calm
knowing I could make it up with a quick pit stop.
The top five of us pulled into our pits and my
team came through I was able to capitalize and
picked up a spot as we headed back onto the track.

After round 8 Taylor
is now sitting in 2nd place in points
|
The last two laps I remained focused on riding
a mistake free race; I battled back into the third
place position as I took the white flag. I felt
great and pushed forward hoping to grab the win.
Chris Borich and I battled the entire last lap,
swapping back and forth for the lead. It was a
great battle and as we crossed the finish line
Chris took the win as I placed second; a mere
two seconds short of the win. All in all it was
a great day of racing; my machine handled better
than it has all year and my hard work is putting
me in a position to battle for the win at every
event.
After this round of racing and placing second
I hold second place in the points standings.
I am looking forward to Round #8, see you in
Snowshoe!
