Interviews

"I think it is just the perfect crew of guys to really be together, and the perfect brand."

"I just really, really wanted to defend my title."

"It is different not being out there as a racer, but once you put your ego aside, it’s okay. I am happy for what the racing was."

"I feel like I gel better with outdoors. I love Supercross, don’t get me wrong, but outdoors is more my style so far."

Dave Arnold always knew that I wanted to be a factory mechanic and said, "Hey, we could use you. I have an opening for a mechanic. Would you really be interested?"

"It is definitely a good feeling beating the factory guys."

"It is just tough to get out there and race these guys that have had a healthy off-season"

"This race could shake things up, but it could shake things up the wrong way too"

"To finally win a race is a huge deal for me. It is so hard to win one that it took me 130 tries to finally get one. I cannot even describe to you how awesome it feels"

"When it comes main event time, I know I am in shape, and I know my bike set up is good for when the track gets rough"

"I have not had a lot of motos, just because I have been trying to bring the wrist back slowly, and build strength"

"It is a really nice feeling to take away a win, keep the red plate, and build some momentum for the series."

"I feel like I have always had the speed to be winning more races. Now I am finally learning to hone it all in"

"In 2017, I definitely was the fastest I had been"
