Personal History
450C, Production C and Open C 2024 CHAMPION!!
My name is Vinny, I'm 17 years old and have been racing for 11 years. I'm currently a Senior and in school to become a welder. I will graduate in 2025. My goal for the 2025 season is to race Pro Sport at Daytona in March.
I started out racing on a Suzuki 1984 LT 50 and let me tell you, that thing ripped through the mud. I was the only 5 year old finishing races in the rain. My dad took me to a local race just for fun one weekend and I've been at a track every since. We started in our local series and then in 2018 went on to race nationals full time.
What started out as just going to a local race just for fun turned into a lifelong obsession. I fell in love with the sport and have been racing a quad every since.
I currently race the ATVMX series and train at Deckers Training Facility during the winter. During the off season you can find me tearing up the backyard on my TRX 90 or hanging out with my racing buddies.
My family and I had the opportunity to travel to Czech Republic in 2022 to cheer on Team USA in the QXON race and it was a blast. I enjoy traveling around the country seeing the different tracks. I hope one day that can be me representing Team USA.
My dad is my mechanic and my mom is the ATVMX amateur photographer so we are a family who loves and enjoys racing.

Riding Goals
I'll be racing the ATVMX National series for the 2024 season. I made the switch to Yamaha and can't wait to see what the season brings. I'll be racing 450C classes.
I've been racing since I was 5 years old and it's become who I am. I love the sport and want to only get stronger and better. I set goals for myself and try to accomplish them all. I want to make a future in the sport and the only way to do that is to have consistency, work hard and never give up.
My goal for the 2024 season is to win the 450C classes and pull more holeshots. I can't wait for the new season to start on my new machine.
I won 450C, Production C and Open C in the ATVMX series for the 2024 Season!

I was the 2021 90 auto Champion. That year had a lot of ups and downs but it was my last year in the 90 class and I was hungry for that Championship.
During the race at Loretta's, I was on the gate waiting for it to drop when my accelerator got stuck. Up went the 2 min card. Somehow my dad got it fixed. It starts down pouring rain and the gate drops, I take off and right into a hay bale at the first corner. I couldn't see and was trying to take off a tear off, my mistake right there. My dad thought my throttle stuck but it didn't. I pushed my quad back and took off like a mad man. I was dead last now in the race. I passed every 90 rider and also 125 rider (two classes one gate) and won the race. My heart has never raced that fast until that race. I was dead set on winning that race and also be the Tennessee State Champion. One of my goals up until that point was the win Loretta's and I was going to make sure it happened and it did. I also did it again this year in the 450 C Class, what a wild ride.
I won the 2021 Championship in the 90 class and my parents were so proud, they wanted everyone to know. Two journalists from 2 different local newspapers wrote an article about me and my racing career. My story was published and the entire town was proud of me.
