>> Two rows of little rippers lined up for the sixteenth race of the evening at the Junior Moto X Indoor Amateur Championship in Oklahoma City’s Lazy E Arena. The 50cc riders may be small, but they are definitely fierce, and they all were hungry for a win. With a freshly prepped track laid out before him and a heat race win in his corner; Seth Dennis was here to win. After a win in the 51cc (4-6) class last year at the first annual Junior Moto X Champion- ship, Seth Dennis was looking for another triumphant victory this year. The Port St. Lucie, Florida native rocketed off the start and immediately grabbed the Fox Holeshot Award. With New Mexico’s Gannon Lawson and New Jer- sey’s Canyon Richards battling close behind him, Seth Dennis knew he had to capitalize on the opportunity and stretch his lead. Dennis, the 930 on the KTM machine, did just that. Seth Dennis stayed calm through lap traffic and was not allowing any pressure from the surrounding battles get to him. Stay- ing strong and riding his own race, little Seth Dennis, with his long blonde locks flowing behind him, flew past the checkered flag with the big win. Even after a crash earlier in the day, Seth rose above and truly gave it his all for this well-deserved moto victory. On the podium, where he was joined by Canyon Richards and Drew Adams, Seth Dennis told us all his keys to the race, “I tried my hardest and just got it. I was riding hard and tried to stay consistent.” Seth Dennis is wise beyond his years and he shows it on and off the track.
