Paul Carpenter – Top Privateer in 8th place at Atlanta
Posted: Feb 27, 2008

Team Atomic Racing's Paul Carpenter finished a season best 8th place in Atlanta and maintained his Top Privateer position in the overall standings after eight rounds.

Paul, piloting his #42 Deluge Sport/Fox Racing backed Honda CRF450R, had a tumultuous start inside the Georgia Dome during the Main. He rounded the first lap back in 13th place, but road strong to the end picking-off rider after rider to secure the 8th spot.  

"Atlanta went well. I've been consistent this season, but not finishing where I know I can. This 8th place finish was a definite step in the right direction for me and the team for sure," said Carpenter after the race.
 

Paul currently sits 11th in the points standings behind factory Suzuki rider David Vuillemin. For more details on results and points check out: www.sxgp.com
