Exhaust #20: Growing Up Racing with McGrath, Cianciarulo, and Marchbanks
Each yeah at Loretta Lynn\u2019s, Jason Weigandt hosts a Kawasaki and THOR/Parts Unlimited panel session where pro riders take questions from amateur riders and parents. This year\u2019s panel featured Jeremy McGrath, Adam Cianciarulo, and Garrett Marchbanks\u2014three riders representing three generations representing three different ways to enter the sport. McGrath\u2019s plan was totally unique, as he didn\u2019t even become a motocross racer until age 14 and famously likes to explain how badly he rode at Loretta Lynn\u2019s. Cianciarulo has 11 titles at the Ranch, tied for the most ever in the youth divisions, but did his riding and training in his native Florida. Recent graduate Marchbanks has several titles of his own but sacrificed much for them, leaving home at age eight to live at tracks and facilities and hone his craft.
The three discuss their different paths into racing while taking questions from Weigandt and a collection of fans at the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Amateur Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn Ranch.
