Blingstar's Kevin Cunningham placed second at MAXC Round 9. Cunningham currently sits in the AA Class Points

“I got by him (Ryan Lane) in the woods about 2 miles into it. I just thought I could cruise but a lapper got crossed up in front of me and he got around me. I ended up catching him again. The whole race I knew there was a line right before the finish. I never took it before, but I knew that’s the spot where I could try to pass him. I stayed right on his bumper until I we got there and I took it and made the pass and crossed the finish.” Said Spider Graphix’ Kevin Cunningham.

After pulling the Holeshot, Blingstar AMA MAXC AA Points leader Ryan Lane battled back and fourth with Kevin Cunningham and Brycen Neal until the finish placing third in the AA Class.

“I got a good start. I pulled the Holeshot but I just couldn’t make the front end turn. I was pushing everywhere. I then went back to third. It was back and forth from there. Cunningham had hit a tree and I got around him. I had so much mud on my goggles I was saving a tear off and I pulled it and I realized I went the wrong way. We all then were back together.” Said Dirtworks’ Ryan Lane.

“The first lap was so fun! The trail was set for me because all the Pro riders set it and I was just hucking it going as fast as I could to catch them. I knew I had a good chance because of the mud. I finally caught Adam (McGill) on the second lap but I couldn’t hold on because my hands were slipping off.  On the last lap me, Ryan (Lane), and Kevin (Cunningham), we all three had a really good battle going on and I got caught behind a lapped rider.” Said Jet Suspension’s Brycen Neal.

Taking second in the Open A class was #385 Braden Nichols followed by #251 Andrew Stafford aboard his Honda 450R ATV.
