Page 3: Junior Chain Drive photos and more ...
A father-son duo from Marquette -- Tanner Delpier and his dad, Chuck Delpier,
spent Father's Day at the Junior Chain Drive race, with Dad taking photos.
Tanner competed in the 1.5-mile race for ages 10-11.
"They've really set it up in a safe way," said Chuck Delpier, who
teaches environmental education at Negaunee Middle School.
He said he and his older son Zach have been riding bikes with Tanner at home
to help him train for the race. The "third brother," their dog
Finnegan, enjoys the races, too.
