Chris Peris, Daytona SportBike Racer – Erion Honda
Chris Peris is a young man on a mission—a determined racer chasing his dream of making it to the top of the sport. Starting out riding dirt bikes at the age of seven, the Canadian-born racer showed commitment beyond his years, uprooting himself from his hometown of Calgary, Canada at the age of 14 to commence his racing career in California. Now, at 22, he’s right where he wants to be: riding a CBR600RR for the Erion Racing Honda team.

Nico Izzi, Supercross Racer – Rockstar Makita Suzuki
Nico recently placed third at Reliant Stadium in Houston Texas, starting off the season on the podium. Izzi’s 2008 season was highlighted by consistency, with a number of podium finishes in both the Supercross series and Motocross series, Izzi’s consistently solid performances kept him near the top throughout the indoor and outdoor seasons. With a 3rd overall in Supercross and 5th overall in Motocross he achieved the goals he had set early in the season. By earning the AMA Rookie of the Year award, Izzi followed in the footsteps of teammate Ryan Dungey, who earned the same award in his rookie season.
