DEVEN RAPER
Deven Raper has been chasing the dream for a while now. Its easy to see the passion is there, and the hard work is starting to pay off. He has been able to continue his quest for 7 years and it doesn’t look like he is going to stop anytime soon. Deven grew up around
motorcycle racing and it is coded in his blood. He has been able to dedicate his life to the sport for for many years and is gradually climbing up the totem pole. The Arizona native has made two Main Events in the 450 class this year and is looking for a third. This season, the 450 class is assuredly one of the most stacked group of riders of all time, with at least 15 factory guys on the line every weekend. Deven is proud to put his name on the list of Main Event finishers in 2016, especially as a privateer. With a very impressive finish of 18th last weekend in Toronto, Deven is on a roll coming into Detroit. He should be ready and confident to put it in the Main again at Ford Field.
