Youth Bike Rider to Watch: Bryce Merrill
Bryce Merrill is a 14-year-old rider who resides in Mineral Wells, WV. He races a Honda CRF150 in the Super Mini for both WEXCR and GNCC. He and his family have been dedicated to WEXCR since Day 1 and he is certainly one to watch this season.
Merrill won the Youth Overall at Round 1 King Knob and also raced Adult Bike and finished 2nd in his class and 53rd Overall.
“I thought King Knob was great because I run at my best in open stuff and in the mud and King Knob was a mix of both,” Merrill explained.
This was Merrill’s first Overall Win since Peewee Racing. He said, “It felt good to be back on top!”
At Round 2, Warrior Raceway, Merrill battled for first for most of the race, but got stuck 3 times on the last few laps for several minutes and ended up 3rd place.
This season, he has a goal to with the Youth Overall and is looking forward to Round 3 on May 8th at The Wilderness in Salem, WV.
Merrill would like to thank his parents for their constant support and his Sponsors, JT Racing USA, Factory Seat, Factory Effects, One Industrial, Bell Helmets, Leatt, ODI, Factory Backing, Dragon Alliance, Dunlop Tires, Acerbis USA, Scott Sports and SIDI.
