WYATT LIEBECK
KILPATRICK
Wyatt Liebeck has made steady improvements throughout the year in the 85cc and Mini Sr. classes. The Wisconsin native started things off on the right foot at the beginning of the racing season with a fifth place overall finish at the Daytona RCSX in the Mini Sr. 1 class, proving himself to be one of the most promising young talents on a mini cycle against a majority of the nation’s best riders. Liebeck tore up the Loretta Lynn’s qualifiers, claiming victories in both Mini Sr. classes on his way to punching a ticket to the Ranch. The youngster had a couple of rough motos in Hurricane Mills, but he ultimately proved his speed in both Mini Sr. classes with two top five finishes throughout the week of racing. Although his lack of consistency hurt his overall results, Liebeck still managed to salvage a ninth overall in the Mini Sr. 2 class, but it was really the outright speed that he found that inspired his confidence moving forward. The Wisconsin native found some success in 2016 at the Baja Brawl with a second place overall finish in the 85cc (9-13) class, but he only had one thing on his mind as he showed up at Baja Acres
