INTERVIEW
P70
JEFFERY LOWERY
firsthand the riders he will soon
face in August when he turns 16
and is eligible for his professional
racing license.
Lowery seems like a pretty
grounded kid. He makes no
boisterous claims about turning
pro, just that he looks forward to
racing against some of the best
flat trackers in the country and
learning the ropes and hopefully
making progress. Lowery knows
it can be a challenging environment – almost everyone in the
pro ranks has more experience
and they all want to win too. It's a
daunting task facing a 16-year-old
rookie, but Lowery approaches it
with his eyes wide open.
How long have you been
racing flat track?
I've been racing flat track since
I was four, so 11 years now. It's a
lot of fun.
I heard you're buddies with
Larry Pegram. Has he helped
you over the years?
Yes, Larry has helped us out.
My dad has a machine shop and
we do a little bit of work for him
here and there. I wear his leathers, we're about the same size
and, yeah, we talk.
Tell me about the Grand
Championships this year.
How'd that go?
