The new season has been off to a great start! Took the trip out to Vegas for the season opener. Tire slid out Friday night in the last turn during the main. Saturday and Sunday I got 2nd place. The next weekend was in my homestate of Florida. I took home 1st place Saturday and Sunday. Sunday I also raced my first Jr Men race. In the motos I went 2-2-3, and finished 4th in the main. It felt good to be out there with some of the fastest riders.... Read More

Felt so good to be back on the National scene after my collarbone break. Friday, I took 1st place (clip attached) and felt good. Saturday, I got 3rd place and just couldn't get to the inside out of the gate. Sunday, I came back from the outside and was able to secure a 2nd place. So as they say, I tried every step of the podium. I was happy to visit this track again since the last time I was there in 2019.

First race in 16 expert. Saturday I wheelied out of the gate and down the hill and endedc with a 7th. I came back on Sunday feeling ready. Then I was hit with a semi that had 7 of the riders from the Saturday main. I got out of that semi and ended up with a second in the main. Had fun hanging out with everyone. See ya at the next race.

This weekend I got an 8th on Saturday and a 2nd on Sunday. On Saturday, my tire slid out going into the first turn and I took a hard hit. I was in a lot of pain on Sunday, but still managed to get a 2nd. The past few nationals were so much fun for me. I was always smiling in the turns and crossing the finish line. If I'm not having fun, what's the point in racing.

Wow! What a weekend! It was awesome! Got a 2nd place on Saturday and on Sunday, I was going for it in turn one. I ended up crashing, but came off the track with a smile in 8th place. I am definitely ready for the next race! Thank you to Supercross, Speedline and Fly for always supporting me.

Rock Hill and Desoto, Texas were both very good nationals for me. In Rock Hill I won both days on cruiser, and in class I won on Saturday. I crashed going for the lead Sunday. It is still one of my favorite tracks. In Desoto, I had my first-ever clean sweep. I won both days on cruiser and both days on class. I also had some fun on the way home stopping at a 60 mph go kart track. I had never been to DeSoto, but I would definitely go back!!
