Racer: Brad Baker

Disciplines: Flat track, Super moto, and Road Racing
Pipe: D&D Flat Track Race Pipe
Why D&D: Most of all its strong and secure on the bike and makes the most horsepower out of any exhaust.

2008 and 2009 Career Highlights:
In 2008 Brad Baker earned the AMA Dirt Track Horizon Award. This award recognizes the rider that demonstrates on and off the track that they are poised to succeed in the pro ranks.

Previous winners of this award are the 2009 GNC champion Jared Mees, Bryan Smith, Roger Lee Hayden, and the 2006 Moto GP World champion Nickey Hayden. So far, I have carried on this awards reputation of success.

Brad Baker got his Pro license in February 2009 and less than a month later he won his first pro main event in Daytona, Florida. Throughout the season he made the podium ten times out of thirteen races. Four of those races he finished on the top spot, which was the most wins out of anyone in the grand national circuit - along with Henry Wiles.

He proved to be competitive in the expert class with his qualifying times. Brad Baker qualified inside the top ten several times and even set fast time of the day at the last singles round in Springfield, Illinois. With his win at the Springfield Short track, Baker had racked up enough points over the second place contender to declare myself the first ever Pro Singles Grand National Champion with still one round to go in Pomona California.

2010 Goals: So far in 2010 I have continued to ride the AMA Pro singles class to defend my title. I am still in search of a GNC twins ride so I can get my expert license and get my feet wet with the big boys.

Personal:

I started racing at age six. Racing soon became a way of life. I race almost every weekend -averaging over 40 races a year. I have won hundreds of main events and always like to bring on the competition. I have demonstrated my talent and ability and have earned the respect of the top riders all across the U.S. I truly love the sport and love to win!

When I'm not at a race, I can be found practicing on my track at home or working on my motorcycles preparing for the next race. I also do most of the upkeep on my dad's log truck. If it weren't for my family I definitely wouldn't be where I am today.

I am very conscientious about my grades and I've always been an honors student - even with my busy schedule on the road. I enjoy hunting, trail riding and hanging out with my friends during my off time.
