“I have enjoyed watching Grant come up through the ranks over the years.  He is an excellent spokesperson for the sport and a great role model for our youth riders— and we are proud to be the team he has chosen for 2017.  He is one of the guys with a style all his own- and we are all eager to work with him, and learn from him. He is an excellent addition to our team. We’re excited!” â€•Frank Keegan

Grant is no stranger to the box— at the age of 13 he became the youngest rider to take the overall at a GNCC Youth event. In the same year, he won a GNCC event in the premiere 250A class. 

One year later he made GNCC history— by becoming the youngest rider to ever win a 250 A Championship, also winning the overall Amateur Championship the same year.
