SETH DENNIS
The youngest member of the Team Dunlop Elite program, Seth Dennis has just recently made the step up into the 65cc ranks. The youngster has a fairly impeccable track record
at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch throughout his short career, recording one title and two second place overall finishes. The Orange Brigade backed rider earned his first championship of 2017 in the 51cc (6-7) Limited class at the JS7 Spring Championship, but that was just the beginning for the little ripper out of Florida. His next taste of victory came at Junior Moto X and he continued his solid form by earning overall podium finishes at The Baja Brawl, Loretta Lynn’s, and Mini O’s. Dennis started his 2018 campaign
by winning the KTM Junior SX at Anaheim II and continued his winning ways the following day at the Monster Energy Amateur Supercross, boosting his confidence heading into spring nationals.
LUKE FAUSER
Luke Fauser really made a name for himself at the end of 2016 by claim- ing his first career Loretta Lynn’s Na- tional Championship in the 51cc (7-8) division, winning two out of three motos on his way to the title. His suc- cess garnered some attention from the Orange Brigade squad, providing him with support for the 2017 season onward. The Pennsylvania native wasted no time coming to grips with the 65cc classes, finding himself back on the podium almost immediately
at the start of the new year. Fauser scored two second place overall fin- ishes at the Daytona RCSX and the JS7 Freestone Spring Championship, proving himself as one of the major contenders in the younger 65cc divi- sions. He landed back on the podium for the second time in his blossoming career at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch and backed it up with two more podium finishes at Mini O’s. The native east coaster made the trip west at the beginning of the new year and lined up at Angel Stadium for the opening round of the Monster Energy Ama- teur Supercross, earning a first and second place finish in both classes that he contested, proving that he’ll be one of the major contenders in the 65cc ranks throughout 2018.
