TWO WINS IN BIRMINGHAM FOR LOGAN CUNNISON
Speed Demon Racing’s Logan Cunnison liked winning Saturday’s Junior Cup race so much he opted to do it again on Sunday. While he had a little cushion in winning on Saturday, he had no cushion on Sunday as he beat Karns Performance’s Levi Badie by just .045 of a second. Sunday’s race featured the same podium as Saturday with second and third flipping spots. While it was New York Safety Track Racing’s Yandel Medina second on Saturday it was Badie taking the runner up on Sunday. Seven riders battled for the lead in Sunday’s race with the top six finishers covered by less than a second. Fourth place went to BARTCON Racing’s Eli Block with Elia Dreher, the younger sister of defending Junior Cup Champion Avery Dreher, finishing a career best fifth.

“That was a fun race to be a part of. Watching both of our guys out front, pushing the pace, was exciting. Both guys should be proud of their efforts. Tyler started strong, and was able to manage what he called a little dry-spell of energy from around forty minutes to the pit stop. Then, he cranked his pace up and was able to pul a comfortable gap.
Zach showed really good pace, especially early on, and his fitness was great, as he stayed strong to the checkers. It sounded like a few mistakes in the tricky rock section cost him a shot at bettering his third. Still, it was a great way to head into the Summer break."

“ We have made a lot of progress since I came back to racing from my shoulder injury earlier this year and we almost earned another podium tonight. It’s tough when you don’t get a start at the very front in the East/West Showdown races because it’s so competitive in the class. I had good speed and kept pushing to the end but couldn’t quite close the gap. Next we go to the Pro Motocross season and will be ready to fight for the championship.”
Carson Mumford
"I was unfortunately toward the back from the start and really had my work cut out for me to earn a top-10. With the East/West Showdown format, there are just so many good guys out there that you have to be on point the whole way through. I think we’ve made good progress as a group and, even though I joined the team a little behind the eight ball, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in this short time. I’m super grateful to the whole Monster Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki squad and, as my butt patch said, this has been a ‘Dream Job’ for me.”
Chris Blose
“I was in the mix for the early portion of the race but just fell back toward the end. It wasn’t my best night of the season, but there are still plenty of positives to highlight from this year as a whole. It’s been great to race with the support of the Monster Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team and I’m really thankful to Mitch [Payton] for this opportunity. I only had a few days on the bike before we started racing and still, we managed to finish in the top-five of 250SX East points. That sort of progress doesn’t come without a lot of effort and sacrifice so, a big shoutout to the whole crew for always going the extra mile and backing me completely.”
