Being a well rounded and hard working motorcycle rider will earn you sponsors, solid finishes and decorations for your home in the form of trophies, jerseys and helmets. Those things only mean so much after mixing in the responsibility of a wife and daughter.

After years of hard work along with several wins and podium finishes, Kentucky native Ryan Sipes has switched gears to favor his priorities. The strains from constant travel on Sipes' family life with Supercross and Motocross helped him make the decision to retire from full-time racing at the end of the 2013 season. His natural ability and interest in other types of racing led him to his next career move. With the help of faithful past sponsors and even some new believers, Sipes is able to line up his orange machine on the dead-engine starting line with the top GNCC racers in the world to compete in some of the toughest racing conditions yet.

Rockstar Energy Drink is proud to present in association with FMF Racing, MSRMX, WMR Performance and Steve Hatch Racing a video series to encapsulate the second chapter of Sipes' career. The six-part series features a behind-the-scense look at the things that have to happen for Sipes' race program to function. Long drives, phone calls and intense days of training fill most weeks in Sipes' schedule, but his hard work ethic and down to earth morale earn the respect of most people he meets. Episodes will release throughout the GNCC Racing season, so stay tuned as we take a look at Chapter 2: Ryan Sipes.
