Chris Carr Takes 6th @ Peoria TT
-thumb-480x306-156.jpg)
The Chris Carr "Farewell Tour" has been a big attraction all season long, but Peoria will surely be the most emotional stop for the seven-time Grand National Champion, as Carr has proudly worn the "Prince of Peoria" title for many years. He won his first Grand National main in Peoria in 1985 -- his first of thirteen victories there, twelve of them consecutive.
Making the best of his final race at the challenging TT venue, the "Prince of Peoria," Chris Carr, slipped around Pearson briefly, but the local rider quickly charged back to hold Carr to a sixth-place finish. Weidman, Smith, Coolbeth, and Lewis filled out the top ten.
Energy Kawasaki's Henry Wiles came off the injured list to continue his winning ways at the historic Peoria Motorcycle Club Grounds, dominating the Peoria TT -- Round 14 of the AMA Pro Harley-Davidson Insurance Flat Track Championship -- to claim the seventh consecutive victory of his career at the popular TT track.
