Loretta Lynn Race Report
Loretta Lynns Ranch, August 7, 2006
Thomas Covington put another feather in his cap this week by putting on a strong performance in the 65cc 7 to 9 year-old class and finishing the week with a 3rd place overall finish at the Air Nautique Loretta Lynn AMA National Championships in Tennessee. Thomas was particularly impressive with two second place moto finishes in motos 2 and 3 and was ahead of third place by a huge gap. "The first moto, my bike had some issues and I had a hard time getting going, said a delighted Thomas Covington. "My 5th place in moto 1 really cost me the second spot on the podium, but I was real proud of my next motos. Adam just got great starts and ran well out front and I congratulate him on another championship". There will be plenty of other races with Adam and I can`t wait til the next time" added Thomas.
This podium at the 2006 Loretta Lynns gives Thomas his 8th podium finish at amatuer national events since he started his career. The 2003 Loretta Lynn`s 50cc champion is having his best season since 2003 with podium finishes at two nationals and many local and regional event wins.
