Personal History
Hello. My name is Michael Sweney and I am 9 years old. I race a 2007 KTM 65 and compete in the 65cc 7-9 and 65cc Open classes. I love to race and got into racing because I basically grew up on a Motocross track. My dad has raced for over 20 years and my mom and dad own and operate an awesome track here in Colorado. I am a outgiong and happy kid that easily makes friends with everyone at the track. I also like to help the little kids that are just getting into racing. Besides racing, I love helping my dad around our track getting ready for races. I packed my first jump in a skid loader this year. It was awesome! Motocross is my favorite sports, but I also enjoy racing BMX, football, fishing and anything else that is outdoors.
