Kiama’s motocross racing prodigy Jack Nunn picked up a crucial win in the first round of the new ‘CR22 85cc Cup’ in Adelaide over the weekend.
The CR22 85cc Cup was created by Australian motocross legend Chad Reed to help provide a platform for young riders aged 12-14 to start performing at a top level during the Australian Supercross Championship.
Jack took the top spot on the podium after a superb race on his GasGas MC 85 in front of 7000 people at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
“It’s so different for us, normally it’s just mum and dad supporting me but it’s a really good opportunity,” Jack said after his race. “I kinda want to keep this progression going and get on the podium.”
Jack has two more races in the competition. The next takes place on 11 November in Newcastle at McDonald Jones Stadium in an event expected to draw a crowd of around 25,000. The competition will conclude at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on 24 November.
Jack has already had a busy 2023, having competed in Romania in the World Junior Motocross Championships and placing second in the NSW and Australian titles.
The Bugle sends a hearty congratulations to Jack and his family on his performance and good luck for his next two races in the CR22 85cc Cup.
