NATE THRASHER
After an incredible series of top notch results at Mini-O’s last year earned him a Team Green Kawasaki ride, Nate Thrasher has been making a name for himself in the Mini Sr. and Supermini divisions across the sprawling amateur motocross calendar. The Tennessee native scored his first overall podium finish in his home state at the Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National Championship, boosting his confidence heading into the final few races of the season. He didn’t quite achieve the success that he was hoping for at the Monster Energy Cup, but Thrasher was out for redemption at The Motoplayground Race at Ponca City. He contested both Supermini divisions and kept himself at the front of the pack each time that he lined up on the gate, scoring three moto wins between four races -- a poor start in the second Supermini 1 moto lessened his chances of a clean sweep, but he was still able to earn the title in the Supermini 2 class in flawless fashion.
