Ben Spies is celebrated as one of America's greatest motorcycle roadracing talents. The Texan's illustrious career includes multiple AMA Pro championships, a World Superbike Championship in his rookie year, the MotoGP Rookie of the Year award, six MotoGP podiums, and numerous other accolades. He will be remembered as one of the last Americans to reach MotoGP the untraditional way, embodying the “Good Ole’ Days” of American motorcycle road racing.

Despite his incredible achievements, Ben was often seen as introverted or standoffish, perhaps misunderstood by many. Now, a decade into retirement, the new and improved Ben 2.0 has resurfaced in the MotoAmerica paddock full-time as a team principal (or "mascot," as he humorously claims).

Nowadays, he can often be found with a smile on his face, enjoying life with his wife and two daughters. In this episode, we dive into Ben’s story, exploring the journey that shaped him into a fierce competitor and what he’s learned about life since hanging up his leathers. We hope you enjoy and gain insights into one of the greats of our sport.

His journey began at just three years old and has led to more than two decades of racing, securing multiple national championships in both road-racing and flat-track disciplines.

Typically very reserved, Hayden opens up in this episode about his entire life and the challenges that led him to question his passion for racing. Learn about the pivotal moments that made him step back from full-time racing and what inspired his return to the track instead of a career behind a desk. Join us for an honest conversation about the highs and lows of racing and Hayden’s journey back to his true passion.

Chuck Aksland, the COO of MotoAmerica since its inception, is a driving force behind the current revival of American motorcycle road-racing.

Due to his low-key persona, many overlook Chuck’s extensive history and heritage as both a racer and a team manager at the highest levels of the sport for over two decades.

We believe it’s crucial not only to share his story but also to gain insights into the current state of MotoAmerica and what the future may hold for the sport.

This episode aims to offer a deeper understanding of one of the key decision-makers shaping the future of American motorcycle racing and the pedigree that justifies those decisions. We hope you enjoy!

Current factory MotoAmerica Superbike racer Cameron Petersen's quest began at a very young age and has spanned the globe from his birthplace in Spain, childhood upbringing in Zimbabwe, to his current residence in Southern California.

The claimed South African grew up around racing under the tutelage of his father, ex-Grand Prix racer Robbie Petersen and moved to the US after achieving success in the early 2010's in the South African championship.

Cameron is currently in his third year of racing for one of the most coveted Superbike teams in the series and is a multi-time race winner. This achievement, which seemed like an unattainable dream just a few short years ago, was made possible by the immense sacrifices Cameron and his entire family made to pursue his dreams.
