it. All the off-season training really
helped. I've been riding a lot, so that
definitely helped me. I feel like I have
a good shot at this championship
run. I think it will be a good year.
You're from Pennsylvania.
Yeah, I'm from Pennsylvania. I live
in Florida right now with my trainer
and my mechanic, Robby Bobby. It's
been really good.
Robby Bobby?
They call him Robby Bobby. His
name is Rob Mclendon, but they call
him Robby Bobby. It's been pretty
good. I'm happy with it and happy
to be in Florida in the warm weather
and train all winter.
So that's what you did? You
came down to Florida and got
ready for the season?
Yup, right around halfway through
January, I'd say. I went to Florida,
and I just started grinding and train-
ing a bunch at the gym, three times
a week, and riding as much as I can.
Rob owns his own track and every-
thing in Pensacola, so we get to ride
whenever we want.
Please give me a thumbnail
sketch of how you got started
in racing and how you got to the
point where you were one of the
top guys a couple of years ago.
I started racing when I was four.
My dad took me everywhere, all over
the States. I think that really helped
me with racing on different surfaces
and different track types.
Flat track?
Yeah. Always rode flat track and
grew up on it, so I've been used to
it for my whole life. I've raced with
a lot of top kids and definitely a lot
of competition growing up. I think
that definitely helped me where I am
