A
few years ago, Hayden
Gillim thought his pro rac-
ing career was over. After
winning the AMA Pro
Supersport Championship in
2014, Gillim bounced around
from team to team, racing differ-
ent championships, both road
racing and flat track. He contin-
ued to be very competitive, win-
ning races and scoring podiums,
but championships eluded him,
and eventually, the offers dried
up. Then the pandemic hit, racing
continued, but many top rides
were lost, and with that narrow
-
ing of paid seats, Hayden found
himself on the outside looking in.
