MASON KERSHAW
RACING HISTORY
A Dream
Starts Early
AGE 5
FIRST RACE / FIRST TROPHY 2004
From Mason's parents about this race ... "The whole family went to this local track to watch him race and see what it was like. When we showed up there was a kid on a PW50 that was flying around the track. Mason never blinked an eye. He went out for the first motocross race and was a little timid, but by the second race he was in a close second. When he came off the track he said 'I’m going to beat him next time'. First race, second place, so proud and ready to go for another race next weekend."

Dream Realized
AGE 6
Sometimes being talented at an early age in racing leads to a pleasant surprise. In the 2005 Loretta Lynn's National Championship Race, Mason was in the leaders pack when a photographer shot this photo for a Yamaha print advertisement. Imagine being so young and getting such notoriety, especially with a blue Mohawk on your helmet.
