Dude got a 13th at Ironman (250 / '18) and 19th at Salt Lake 6 (250 - SX / '20) and hasn't raced AMA stuff much other than that. Then goes BEAST and stomps a solid 12-12 (10th Overall) at LL2 (450). Guy's a mystery......and a Privateer. Love these stories.

Anyone got more info on him??

Looks like he also finished 20th at Daytona this year in the 250 class.

how rad would that be to give em an opp like that, or a bike of that caliber, not blow up the media about it and just let him go do his thing. He's solid in the mud but I bet he's top 15-20 in dryer conditions too. Only time will tell. it's rad to follow dark-horse privateer dudes like this.

Very nice local MD kid. He rips on a MTB too! Was always very fast and competitive in the amateur ranks, raced Australian nationals last year for a Suzuki team and did really well. Racing for the SGB team and does HVAC work to pay the bills.

Local photographer extraordinaire Mimi Louden Weaver took great shots of him in our local Masters series late in July. The first is during a budds mud race where he had people lining the fence because he made the track look dry.

Saw that in the results and wondered the same thing. At the very least this dude can hang his hat on a 450 outdoor top ten and has beaten some regular names in 450 Moto. Cool story for sure!

Kid deserves a shot. Never heard his name before, but that don't mean shit, as he obviously puts in the work to pay the bills. Someone in "power" needs to throw him a bone with some meat on it, guys like this fight like hell. Knock em dead kid!

Justin is a good dude! I've bumped into him at Budd's Creek on a number of occasions. Always humble, approachable and crazy fast! It is awesome to see him getting results!

hell ya. Like dadofagun said, dudes like this fight hard and give it 110% each and every opp they get. They have to. He works HVAC to pay the bills and still top 10 at a 450 National?? Can't question 'commitment'!

Good dude, spent a bit of time racing here in Australia, but ran into some Visa issues unfortunately, or maybe fortunately with that result on the weekend.

I always root for the underdog, good ride. Could he have a Weston Peick type of career if the circumstances work out?
