AMA MX 2007 - Rnd 9 - Millville

Team Makita Suzuki Racing’s Ricky Carmichael returned to race last weekend’s AMA Toyota Motocross Championship Series at Spring Creek MX Park in Millville, MN, and the 15-time AMA Champion did not disappoint. Carmichael won both of his 30-minute Motocross motos to take the overall win. This marks Carmichael’s 150th career victory.

Ricky Carmichael: “It was a good race for me, I’ve just been soaking it all up. You know, this is the end of a lot of things. I’m thankful for everybody that I’ve met, all the great teams I’ve been on and all the people who have been supportive of me. It’s been an amazing ride and unfortunately this is the end. I just want to be remembered as a good ambassador to the sport. I want people to have felt like they got their money’s worth and had fun when they watched me race. I never expected to do what I’ve done this year, much less what I’ve accomplished in my career. I’ve been around some great people, some great teams, and this win was for the Makita Suzuki team. I’ve won a lot on Suzuki, actually, and this is a great team and they really make you feel like a family.”
