Bo J. Fawcett #830:
Born on December 29th of 1986, Bo Fawcett was raised in Southeastern Ohio. Before being introduced to the sport of motocross, Fawcett was very involved in team sports such as baseball, basketball, football and soccer. In 2001, Fawcett tagged along with a friend who had begun racing earlier that year to a local motocross track where he instantly fell in love with the sport. After a single season of practicing on 80cc motorcycles, Fawcett moved up to a very competitive 12-15 Schoolboy class. After some success came many injuries and circumstances that plauged Fawcett's seat time. However, this allowed Fawcett to explore other aspects of the sport. Fawcett became a popular event announcer and journalist. Bo "Crash-N-Burn" Fawcett, as he was known, contributed many articles to Ohio's MX Propaganda and announced numerous events all over Ohio. Now enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, Fawcett lives with his wife Ashley in Tucson, AZ. Fawcett, who has recently returned from a tour in Iraq, is making his return to racing later this year. With the help of David Levitt of Sierra Cycles, Fawcett will mostly compete at local races in Southern Arizona for the remainder of the season aboard a new KX450F.

Born on July 24th of 1987, Mike Lehotay was raised in Cambridge, Ohio. Before beginning his quad racing in 2004, Lehotay grew up playing football, baseball and wrestled for 11 years.
