MITCH PAYTON | EDISON DYE MOTOCROSS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD VIDEO

Mitch Payton is the greatest tuner in motocross history. Dubya USA and Glen Helen Raceway  were excited and proud to announce that the 2019 recipient of the Edison Dye Motocross Lifetime Achievement Award is team owner and tuner extraordinaire Mitch Payton. Mitch began his career riding with his brother, James, under the guidance of his parents, James and Norma Payton. He began racing at the age of 10, and by the time Mitch was 17 he was the District 37 125cc desert racing class champion. The following year, his life took a drastic turn when he suffered a debilitating desert crash. He would never ride again. But rather than letting this situation turn him away from motorcycling, Mitch (at the young age of 18) found strength and purpose in learning and excelling in the business side of the sport. He became, arguably, the most successful race team owner in the motocross industry.
