Details
AMA and World Superbike Champion and MotoGP star Ben Spies was a racing prodigy who started winning when he was in second grade. Ben traveled an unusual path to racing stardom; his talent was nurtured by his mother, a single parent who encouraged her children to pursue their dreams.
Ben quickly rose through amateur racing to become a professional in a ruthless world where the only things that count are pole positions and race wins. Through it all he possessed the mental toughness to endure the divorce of his parents, a sometimes harsh training environment fostered by a hard-driving father figure, the racing death of his closest friend, and the tough psychological warfare dished out by his Yoshimura Suzuki teammate Mat Mladin. Ben also suffered a shocking 180-mph crash at Daytona that tested not only his personal courage but the resolve of his family for him to keep racing.
