Max Flinders may be the happiest guy in the MotoAmerica paddock as evidenced by a face that wears a smile each and every day. And why not? After all, he's racing in the MotoAmerica Medallia Superbike Championship with his friendly little Thrashed Bike Racing team and he is quite literally living his best life. Flinders and his all-yellow Yamaha YZF-R1 have quite a following in the MotoAmerica Series and, believe it or not, he just finished his eighth season of racing in the premier road racing series in North America. We caught up with Flinders this week for the newest episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to chat about the seasons past and the one that lies ahead.

Kayleigh Buyck (pronounced "bike") is a wonderful lady who is very passionate about her racing. You will get to see her race this year w/ Royal Enfield in the MotoAmerica Series. "Build, Train, Race" She is humble, a servant and very talented. Not only can she race but she is quite an artist and painter. I hope you enjoy getting to know her much better.
He's baaack. Last year, Hayden Gillim returned to the MotoAmerica paddock after what was basically a two-year hiatus to race a Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson in the Mission King Of The Baggers series and he finished third in the championship. He also dipped his toe in the water at Pitt Race with a one-off Stock 1000 ride. Despite missing practice and qualifying on Friday because he was at home in Kentucky working at his day job, Gillim put the Disrupt Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000 on the podium with his third-place finish. For 2022, Hayden will return to the MotoAmerica Series full time to compete in both the Medallia Superbike and Stock 1000 classes. We caught up with Gillim to chat about all of that on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.Instragram: https://www.instagram.com/hayden69gillim/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Hayden69GillimFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/hayden.gillimSupport the show (http://motoamerica.com)
Talk about some changes... 2013 AMA Superbike Champion Josh Herrin is about to embark on a completely new adventure in the 2022 MotoAmerica Series as he switches classes, motorcycles and teams. Herrin will go from the MotoAmerica Superbike class to the MotoAmerica Supersport class and he will do so on a Ducati Panigale V2 with the Warhorse HSBK Ducati NY team. Herrin got the chance to ride his new steed recently at Daytona International Speedway, the home of the Daytona 200 and the place where he will make his debut on the bike in March. We talked to Herrin about the bike, the team, fatherhood and more in this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josh_herrin/Twitter: https://twitter.com/joshherrinFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=josh%20herrinSupport the show (http://motoamerica.com)
If Sam Lochoff wasn't the surprise of the 2021 MotoAmerica Series, we're not sure who is. The young South African came into the Supersport class fresh off finishing third in the SportbikeTrackGear.com Junior Cup Championship where he had landed on the podium 13 times. But he didn't win. So who knew that Lochoff would be the revelation of the Supersport Series in his rookie season, finishing third in the championship and wait for it... winning a race? Yes, Lochoff won a Supersport race in his debut season, setting himself up as one of the favorites in 2022 - no matter what class he ends up racing in. We caught up with Lochoff for this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to discuss the 2021 season and more.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samlochoff44/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LochoffSamFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Samlochoff44Support the show (http://motoamerica.com)
It wouldn't be a reach to go ahead and label Tige Daane as the Sheriff in the MotoAmerica paddock. After all, the longtime paddock stalwart serves as Technical Director and that means he, along the FIM tech staff, helps formulate the technical rules used in the MotoAmerica Series. And when its time to go racing, Daane is the man who enforces those rules. If you roll into Parc Ferme and something's not right with your motorcycle, chances are Daane or one of his crew will find it. We caught up with Daane for this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to discuss the new rules for the 2022 season and his role as Technical Director.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tige76/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tdaaneSupport the show (http://motoamerica.com)

For the want of another word, Stefano Mesa is a badass. If you're a fan of racing or just a fan of hard work, then Mesa has to rank amongst your favorites in the MotoAmerica Series. Mesa shows up at MotoAmerica events with his mom and dad, they unload the trailer, get set up and they go racing. In fact, if you pay attention you will see Mesa swapping his own wheels during practice and qualifying sessions. He swaps the wheels, puts his helmet back on and goes into attack mode. It's impressive. He not only does it, he does it well. We talked to the man who sits third in the 2021 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship for this episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to chat about his do-it-all racing program and more.

Sixteen-year-old Alexis "Super Lex" Olivera had a rough go of it in her debut season of MotoAmerica Junior Cup racing. The Floridian was adjusting to life in the MotoAmerica paddock when she suffered two broken ankles in a crash at the Ridge Motorsports Park in Washington State. The injuries ended her season and forced her into a difficult rehab. But Olivera is back on her feet and hoping to return to the MotoAmerica Series at some point in 2021. We caught up with her on this week's episode of Off Track With Carruthers And Bice to talk about the season past and her fight back to fitness.

Jeff Purk is the racing dentist. That's right. A dentist. When he's not blazing around racetracks as a regular in the MotoAmerica Series, Purk is a practicing dentist in Iowa.

The voice probably sounds familiar and that's because Rob Buydos has announced nearly every form of motorcycle racing on the planet - from motocross to road racing to pit bikes to motorcycle shows and more. But he's not a guest on this week's Off Track with Carruthers and Bice because of his announcing prowess. He's our guest because he's the man behind the Drag Specialties King of the Baggers event that just took place in conjunction with the the MotoAmerica Series finale at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. The Baggers race was an undeniable success and fans can't stop watching it or talking about it. Thus we wanted Buydos to join us and tell us a bit of the background behind the "talk of the industry."Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robbuydos/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rob.buydosSupport the show (http://motoamerica.com)

O'Hara jumped at the opportunity and he's been all-in ever since, taking an active role in the development of the race bike by his test sessions and input to the engineers. Now, he's one of the favorites to take victory. We caught up with O'Hara for this week's Off Track With Carruthers and Bice podcast to talk about what it's like to ride a Bagger around a racetrack and much more.

Brandon Paasch's first race in the MotoAmerica Series was in 2015, and he was an immediate podium finisher at Utah Motorsports Campus in the KTM RC Cup race.
