Junior Miss competes in supercross race By Andy Heuring Junior Miss Pike County 2018 Wren Kabrick has all the appearances of "sugar and spice and everything nice," but she has another side: a darker, fast- er side – the motocross racing side. On Saturday, July 21st the 11-year- old Kabrick competed and won the Ju- nior Miss Pike County pageant with a big smile, blue eyes and long blond hair. A week later on Saturday, July 28, she was sliding sideways, throw- ing a rooster tail of dirt as she went through the turns and roared down the straightaway, sailing over multiple jumps en route to third place in the 110 cc supercross competition. All while sporting a tiara on her helmet, her long blonde hair braided into a ponytail. "That's hard to say. I like them both," said Kabrick about whether be- ing in the Junior Miss pageant or su- percross races was more fun. Her mother, Brandi, didn't have any trouble deciding which she preferred for her daughter. "I had mixed feelings about it," said Brandi. But Wren has always enjoyed speed. Brandi said when she was just about five-years old she started riding a go- kart and loved it. Then later she start- ed riding her older brother Hayden's motorcycle. "She hopped on his mo- torcycle and started riding it when she was about eight." Wren said it was a Honda 70. She often rode with her brother and father Ty. "Pretty much anything he (Hayden) did she want- ed to do," said Brandi. She rode the Honda 70 until earlier this year, when she got a 110 Kawasaki. Then she told her mother something she didn't want to hear. "I want to try racing," "She is just that kind of girl who loves doing anything outdoors that has action and is fast. I do worry, but she is very cautious. I don't worry a whole a lot about it," said Brandi. The Pike County Fair Supercross races were her first venture into racing. She placed second in the first race, holding off a last lap challenger, and third in the second to take third overall. "It was more fun than I thought it was going to be," said Wren, especial- ly while wearing a tiara. Brandi said the tiara wasn't Wren's idea. County councilman Todd Meadors, who helps organize and run the supercross races, saw Wren in the pits before the race and got the idea. He was able to secure a tiara and put it in the vents of her helmet. She loved it. "It is pretty cool," said Wren. She said she hopes in the future to try her hand at trail races. Junior Miss Pike County stands next to her motorcycle prior to her first supercross race at the Pike County 4-H Fair. Kabrick placed third in the 110 class. She rode in the races with a tiara on her helmet.
