Round 16 of 16: Fairplex at Pomona
POMONA, CA, OCT. 13, 2012
The AMA Grand National season finale was held in Pomona, California. I was stoked for this race, being that it was close to home and I got to hang out with friends and family at my house all week. Last year I didn’t do so good, not even making the main, but this year I felt that I had some good experience gathered up. My goal [...]

Speedway GP World Championship
SWC Speedway World Cup
EUROPE, OCT. 19, 2012
The season has now reached the end, and a good finish it was. After a long, hard battle to retain my World title, I had to surrender it to Chris Holder, who made a great end-of-season charge to earn it. I finished with the bronze medal and was glad to be standing on the podium again at the end. The final Grand Prix in Torun [...]

LUCERNE, CA, OCT. 14, 2012
Coming into the So Cal round of the 2012 National Hare and Hound Series, I have to admit I was pretty nervous. I’d had a big crash in Utah at the Nitro Circus race, and this was really my first fast event since that crash. I had a pretty good starting spot, right up the middle of the bomb. It was almost like my own trail [...]

OCT. 15, 2012
The 2012 season was incredible for me, consisting of four race wins, 11 podiums, eight poles and five [cases of] “most laps led.” The competition in the Harley-Davidson XR1200 class has been extremely competitive and exciting for both the racers and the fans.
