Since then, the New Yorker has logged 5 overall wins and countless podium finishes. Kanney recently grabbed his first podium finish of 2012 at Round 10 in Unadilla – which is pretty impressive for a guy who juggled a full-time job (Monday through Friday) for the first half of the season, before dropping the “real job” to focus all of his time on racing. Nate currently sits 9th in the series standings with three rounds left in the season. www.kanney116.com Nikki Earlywine, Owner – Earlywine Racing Arena Nikki and her late-husband (Chris) built an indoor motocross facility after years of running races on outdoor tracks. The indoor track is the size of a football field, with a heated spectator area, indoor pitting, concessions, bathrooms, overhead viewing area, quick sign-up system, etc. Nikki and her husband both raced GNCC and MX and are the only married couple in AMA history to both be National Champions. Five years ago her husband passed away unexpectedly. Their son continues to race both dirt bikes and ATVs. This past March the Earlywine facility was destroyed by tornadoes and they had to rebuild it. The winter series begins Oct 20th for quads and Oct 27th for bikes and goes thru the first of March. This is the 2nd season that the track is offering the Fly Bucks Contingency Program. www.earlywineracing.com Crew at Pit Pass Moto Scott Casber, Tony Wenck, Ed Kuhlenkamp, Jack DeLeon.
