age Fisher and Henry Miller both pulled off the neat trick of three overall wins in one day at the latest version of the Spring Creek Motocross Super Series, round six. Young Fisher is becoming one of the top threats in his classes every time he pulls up to the line in the mini classes. He won every moto in three of his classes, and took two second place finishes in a fourth class. Henry Miller has shown over the past few years that he is always strong on the Millville track. This day he showed he is one of the strongest contenders in the B class with 14-24, 250 and Open classes all falling under his control. There was some great action in other classes too, with about 450 entries for the day. The track was in excellent condition. The Mini 85 12-15 class featured a nice holeshot in moto one as Nick Schnagl lunged to the front of the class. He maintained his lead for over a lap with Ben Adamson and Blaze Best were on his trail. Adamson made his bid for the lead and Schnagl was left to fend off Best’s attack until Best took a tumble, allowing Alan Spaeth into third. Adamson had a good lead over the rest of the pack at the end. Schnagl, Spaeth, Best and Alex Ingalls cruised in behind him. Best jumped out to lead early in moto two but Adamson was too fleet for him and went to first. Schnagl came up to challenge Best and managed to make a pass early in the race. From there on out the top five positions were set and Adamson ran in strongly for the win over Schnagl, Best, Spaeth and Ingalls. Iowa’s Chase Stevenson proved to be the top dog in the Schoolboy class. In moto one he jumped out to an early lead leaving a tussle over second, featuring Kyle Lawler and Blaze Best, behind him.
