CHASE PRINCE
Chase Prince has always been as- sociated with nobility, as many on- lookers saw his true talent, the day he climbed upon the motorcycle. Constantly searching for his crown, at every race he signs up for, he and medallions seem to gravitate towards each other. It’s as though each event, his name is already engraved on a trophy, before the race even begins. Whether it’s a lo- cal race in the southeastern United States, or at the star-studded Lo- retta Lynn’s Championship, Prince is always yearning for his crown, and seat atop the podium. He’s getting there, each year creeping closer and closer, coming in hot with a fourth place just few short months ago, in August of 2017. A top five in the Mini Sr. division, is nothing short of applaud-worthy; yet the ultra-successful KTM rider wants more, and he plans to better himself, with the biggest races of the year, right around the corner.
JOSH VARIZE
Standing upon the sidelines of Pala Raceway, for the FMF Cal Classic, you could faintly see an orange blur buzzing around the track. Zeroing in a bit closer, a number plate reading the digits of twenty-four, seem to blitz by the entire field, hitting each piece of the course in harmonious rhythm. It was Josh Varize, and although local, the KTM rider seems to do this at every event he chooses to compete. He’s immersed with talent, and even though the classes were stacked for this event a few weeks ago, he walked away with spectacular finishes. Five of six mo- tos were placed inside the top five, resulting in an astounding fourth overall, in the Super Mini 2 (13-16) division. Varize is no stranger to national success, and as he closes in on the months of June, July, and August, he’s as ready as ever to torch the competition. His training regimen, and mentality are firing on all cylinders, as he prepares to oblit- erate the nationals that lay ahead.
