TOOELE- Brian Deegan scored two wins in as many different classes during Day 1 of the first major event of the 2014 season at Miller Motorsports Park, as the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series made its fifth annual visit to Utah for Rounds 7 and 8 of the 15-round 2014 championship.
Deegan, the legendary freestyle motocrosser-turned-off-road-racer, led flag to flag to kick off the day's action in the Pro 2 class, padding his points lead in the class by coming home ahead of off-road veteran Carl Renezeder and R.J. Anderson. Bryce Menzies looked to have second place locked up, but a miscue on the last lap sent him back in the pack.
In the Pro Lite class, Deegan picked up his second win of the day, taking the checkered flag ahead of Ryan Beat and Anderson. Points leader Sheldon Creed finished fourth.
Kyle LeDuc earned up his sixth win in seven races in the Pro 4 class, edging Rob MacCachren by 0.21 second at the checkered flag, with Renezeder taking the final podium spot.
Chad George, the points leader in the Pro Buggy class, picked up his fourth win of the season, coming home ahead of Steve Greinke and David Mason.
