BLAKE FEATURED IN TUSCALOOSA NEWS
Monday, September 21st, 2009
Blake was interviewed recently for an exclusive article in the Tuscaloosa News! A photographer snapped shots of him on his KX 65 Monster Edition as he 
performed burnouts, turns, and generally tearing up the grass in his backyard! Then, a reporter from the Tuscaloosa News interviewed Blake for over an hour, asking him about how he started riding and racing, who his favorite pro is, why he enjoys racing so much, and more. Blake told her all types of stories about his riding and racing, all the great friends he’s made through racing, and how he loves the competition on the track. Explaining every trophy and plaque in his room and having told her about the pro rider posters taped to his walls, the nice reporter left with more than enough info for an article.
Blake wants to thank his family, friends, and sponsors for all the support he’s received!

BLAKE DEFENDS STRONG CAMS SEASON STANDINGS
Monday, September 21st, 2009Blake has worked hard this 2009 MX season to make every race so far in the CAM (Central Alabama Motocross) Series. He’s traveled throughout the state to compete in 15 races and looks forward to finishing the season strong. His commitment to make the races and to ride hard while there has earned him some great spots in the season points.
| CLASS | SEASON POINTS POSITION |
| 65cc 7-9 | 3rd Place (This class has over 30+ racers competing throughout the season) |
| Open 4-Stroke | 2nd Place |
| Small 4-Stroke | 2nd Place |
In the 65cc 7-9 class Blake is currently in 3rd place behind a couple really good riders and in front of some equally talented ones. He’s in a tough points chase with his close friends Cody Pharr and Alex Collins, who always ride hard and provide for exciting races. They are always trading positions and its hard to know who’ll finish in front when they race. Yet, off the track they’re good friends and love to 
shoot guns, ride bikes, and play outside. Blake, Alex, and Cody are new to the 65cc class and have really held their own this season. They’re quickly becoming the dominating riders in this class and promise to provide some great racing in 2010.
In the Open 4-Stroke class Blake is currently 2nd in points behind his friend Cody Pharr. They both added this class after the first few races and quickly dominated with top podium finishes. As they do in the 65cc class, Blake and Cody push each other hard and make for some great races. The final results may come down to the last race of the season.
Blake began racing in the Small 4-Stroke class later in the season and thus missed about 5 races. Even with this handicap, Blake quickly began racking up 1st place finishes to hold the current 2nd place spot in this class. He’s chasing down the 1st place points holder, his friend Grant Mitchell, in every race.
Racing three classes makes for a lot of racing and a long race day for Blake, but he loves all the seat time and has really developed well as a rider. Blake has 6 more races remaining and is looking forward to finishing strong. He loves the tracks that are part of the CAM Series.

BLAKE WINS 2 HOLESHOTS, 2ND PLACE AND MORE @ CROSSBONE MX…
Saturday, September 12th, 2009
The Crossbone MX track looked great with only a few deep, loose spots. Blake arrived Friday evening after dark due to a late tackle football practice, so no riding was done on Friday.
Saturday morning broke and the riders from the Alabama State Series and the CAM Series were ready to go. After a Faith Racers church service and rider’s meeting Blake jumped on his KX 65 and raced in the 65cc 7-9 class. He got a great start in the first moto, but went down a couple times in deep, loose sand where many of the riders struggled to stay up. In the 2nd moto, Blake rode much better, adjusting for some of the loose soil and finished an overall 7th place.
The next class Blake raced was the Small 4-Stroke class. Blake won the holeshot and jumped out front early but was passed by a rider from the Alabama State Series on a modified bike and later in the moto went down forcing a 3rd place finish in the first moto. The 2nd moto started and Blake won the holeshot and never looked back. He finished 1st in the 2nd moto and won 2nd place overall. He made some great adjustments in the 2nd moto and rode really well.
The last class Blake raced in was the Open 4-Stroke class first. He got a great start and fought hard against several bikes, two of bigger engine sizes, to finish 3rd. In the 2nd moto, mechanical problems with Blake’s bike kept him off the gate, but he was able to start the race late and was catching the front runners when his bike quit and couldn’t be restarted. He finished 7th overall due to the bike problems.

BLAKE RIDES HARD & WRECKS BIG AT NOAH’S MX PARK
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009Blake arrived Saturday afternoon after a flag football game and couldn’t wait to hit the track. He squeezed some great riding in just a few minutes of open track time by hitting a big double with style. The weather looked to be great for the weekend.
Sunday rolled around and Noah and his workers had the track looking great and after a Faith Racers church service and rider’s meeting, the bikes were on the track and kicking up dirt! Blake raced in the 65cc 7-9 class first and faced a lot of fast riders. He got a great start jumping out quick and fought for position among the other riders to finish 6th in the first moto.
Blake raced in the Open 4-Stroke class next and got a slow start but fought hard to chase down the 2nd place rider when he made a good pass and caught some hard to see breaking bumps and wrecked his bike at full speed. The wreck launched him over the bars and the bike flipped a few times and landed on top of his back. After the paramedics checked him out, he rode back to our camper and we found several bruises, cuts, and sore muscles.
Blake tried to finish his day of racing but couldn’t lift his arms due to the wreck, so his overall finishes were penalized. He was real tough and bounced back quick by practicing tackle football the following night!

Saturday, August 15th, 2009
Blake arrived Saturday afternoon due to a flag football game that morning, so he missed the opportunity to practice on Friday night, but Blake wasn’t concerned. He threw his gear on, checked out his bikes, and was ready to race! Another series, the Gulf States Series, joined us at this race, so there were many, new racers to add to the competition.

He finished first and won the 1st place overall podium spot.
Blake raced in the Open 4-Stroke class next and got a great start and fought hard against several bikes, two of bigger engine sizes, to finish 2nd. In the 2nd moto, Blake won the holeshot and held on to 2nd place until a late crash in the 2nd moto caused him to finish 3rd and sealed the 4th place overall.
Next, Blake raced in the 65cc 7-9 class and faced a lot of fast, talented competition. He got a great start jumping out quick and fought for position among the other riders. Blake won the holeshot in the 2nd moto and rode near the front of the pack all night to finish 3rd. Blake jumped a couple doubles and railed corners all night! He finished 3rd overall in the 65cc 7-9 class, a tie for his 2nd best finish on his KX 65!
