I just got off the phone with my buddy Kevin Kelly, the legendary host of the award winning Winners Take Y’all show on the Vurbmoto Podcast Network. I say legend, because to me he’s one of the main voices of our sport.

Kevin informed me more about his incredible race that he has coming up with his partners Nick Blackmon and John Watkins. These guys are putting their hearts and souls into this event to give back to their friend Victoria Dale.

I’ve never met Victoria, but according to Kevin, she is an incredible person, a teacher, and a staple in the Georgia community that would do anything for anyone. Victoria has recently been diagnosed with ALS and it’s not the kind that someone can overcome. All of the profits from The Great Escape will go directly to her and her husband Andy to help pay for the astronomical medical expenses they are all facing at the moment.

This is going to be a community effort, which is amazing. Andy is a firefighter, which is how Kevin and him met (Kevin is a firefighter when he isn’t on the mic).

This is where the story truly gets fascinating to me. Andy and Victoria let Kevin live on their property while his house was getting built. Everyday Kevin would stare out at this beautiful property and think about how cool it would be to hold a race on the land. If you aren’t aware, Kevin is the son of well known and late King Kelly who founded Bremen Race Park in Bremen, Georgia.

During his time staying on the property, Kevin had the chance to truly know the Dale family and what they do for others in the community. When Victoria got diagnosed with ALS, that is when Kevin knew he had to do something. Thus, the Great Escape was born!

The Great Escape will be held next weekend October 18-20th, it’s an all natural grass track to start, with vintage classes on Saturday with modern support classes. Then on Sunday, the track will get a good tilling to get ready for modern classes with vintage support classes. The track layout is being finalized as we speak and Kevin is sending me live updates. Only three man-made jumps will be on the track.

Like I said earlier, it’s all hands on deck and some great companies like Red Bull, Triumph, Dunlop, Fast House, and Yamaha are stepping up big to help out. Kevin has called everyone he knows and a lot of people have stepped up to help in a big way. Yamaha is even going to cover the entry fee for any PW50 that shows up to race. How cool is that?

We hope that you’ll come out and race for a great cause. We can’t wait to see all of you there. Let’s help out Victoria and the Dale family as much as we can because you know she would do it for us.

The AMA Arenacross Championship presented by Kicker is quickly approaching! The series kicks off on November 15th in Reno, Nevada. One of the biggest storylines heading into the season is whether or not five-time series champion Kyle Peters will return to go for record breaking title number six. 

So, what better way to kick off our AX coverage than to have the man on himself to clarify everything. We called KP up this week to catch up on his life since the season ended, his ideas to grow AX and where he'd like to see the series in 5-10 years, what his relationship with Ryan Breece is like after their battles last season, and we also get to the bottom of how much longer he wants to race, plus if he wants to race Monster Energy Supercross again. 

Then we talked about what it was like for him when he signed an amateur to pro deal with Star Racing Yamaha and what it was like finishing second at the Indianapolis Supercross in 2013 on a full privateer ride. 

This is an episode that you don't want to miss. 

Aaron Plessinger got us fired up about the MXDN.  He's ready for action and so is the rest of the team. We also checked in with Team Mom for Team USA Christina Denney. She handles all the details that make our guys look and feel their best at this race.  

Finally got the gang back together to talk about the single most important race to us, the Motocross of Nations. Timmy Ferry joined us to talk about his experiences at the event. Sean Dukes also joined us in studio to talk moto and auditioning for the Batman stunt show in a suit!

Don't forget to mark your calendars for The Great Escape Grand Prix race which will be held October 18-20th in Buchanan, Georgia. It's all for charity and the track is all natural! We've got vintage racing one day with modern support classes, then the next we're doing modern classes with vintage support classes. Be there, support a great cause, and have some fun doing it!

At this point you know who Iain Grae is. This is the fourth episode that he's joined us on the Vurbmoto Podcast Network and we always learn something new when he's on. 

In this episode, Grae updates us on how his year has went at Cycle Ranch, what's new, what's to come, if he's happy with the progress he's made in the two years since he's brought the track back, and tells us about the events he has coming up.

Listen until the end because Troy Dog is curious on whether or not he should start meditating, so Iain takes it one step further and teaches us all how to do some breathing exercises. What can't this guy do?

John and Nick traveled to Colorado for the Colorado 500 and were joined by Cameron Steele and Ricky Brabec. Two of these four guys are legends, we'll let you decide who's who.

It’s always a good conversation when Trey Canard is around. He’s actually one of those rare gems in the sport that remembers a ton from his awesome decade long career. If you mention a race to him he will at least have a few memories from that day.

At the 2025 Honda CRF450R Introduction at Ironman last month, Trey and I randomly had a conversation about 2013 Spring Creek, which was an epic battle between James Stewart and himself. That’s where I got the idea for this podcast. I picked a race (RedBud 2010) and I had Trey pick a race (Unadilla 2014) to talk about.

We also talked about going six for six at Loretta Lynn’s in 2006, what it was like racing Austin Stroupe and Nico Izzi, choosing GEICO Honda over Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki for his pro deal, and whether or not he ever wants to race a round of Pro Motocross ever again.

Our buddy Daniel Blair wears a ton of hats and usually has to carry all of them in his back pocket...but we'll get into that. 

Blair joined the Squad Pod for the first time to talk about his many job duties as the Team Manager for the Orange Brigade, GasGas Mob, and Team Husqvarna. We also took a deep dive into the behind the scenes of why each of his amateur divisions went through a rebranding process right before Loretta Lynn's.

DB lays out the current and future goals for the Austrian Groups' amateur teams and what the process will look like as their riders come through the program on their way to the pro ranks. 

We also chat about the upcoming Vurbmoto Classic at NXT LVL 101 coming up on September 13-15 in Gray Court South Carolina. DB says that everyone should race this event, so sign up now!

Special thanks to Blair Dog for making some time in his busy schedule to have some fun with the Vurb Crew.
