Since June 2023, Trey Stire has been writing a series of articles centered on the privateer and non-factory racers of the SuperMotocross World Championship. In 2026, The Unsung Heroes will be in both an audio and written format. In this week's edition, Trey chatted with 250 West privateer Brandon Ray about his new machine, his late entry and preparing to become a father. Each privateer who qualified for the main event is also featured in the show, with insight from some racers. Be sure to find the written version of The Unsung Heroes on treystire.wordpress.com and follow The Stire Sound for more updates!
