Personal History
I am Preston Thomas Payne, everyone knows me as "Pinner" #81 and I live in Buchanan, MI (Home of Red Buuud). I was born on June 18, 2008 at Lakeland Hospital in Niles, MI to Leland and Kati Payne. I have four brothers and three sisters who are Timothy, Zach, Tyler, Leland, Chelciie, Michelle and Kelsi. Although Motocross is my favorite sport, I also play football, soccer, baseball, basketball and will be wrestling the fall of 2015. I enjoy all the traveling that we do as well as playing with all my friends, both on and off the track.
Riding Goals
My goal is to win at least one Loretta Lynn Championship and become a pro rider. I will ride and learn to shift on a 65 this year and race it next year. I want to qualify for Loretta's 2016 on my Cobra 50cc king senior, placing top 5 and dominate our local tracks. Would also like to work in the Motocross industry. I am a weekend warrior and have no professional training and have done very well in three years. During the next couple years I want to attend some classes, schools and visit the Georgia Practice Facility.
