Us, it's a motorcycle racing sport.
It's built on speed, agility, balance,
and honestly a positive attitude.
Right now that remains handy as shevy
is at the MX 207 track in Lyman this
morning with the story of a young
Rising star in the sport. Hi Hannah.
Hi good morning Leanne Sharon.
This is one of the many tracks where Tucker
Chase practices his motocross skills,
a sport he got into just about two years ago.
And while many kids his age are
typically learning how to ride a bike,
Tucker is excelling at this sport.
I'm taking Jason. I'm six years
old. In his short time on two wheels 2nd.
This one first that one the 1st
and that one. The first one is it
Tucker has earned a massive
medal and trophy collection.
Right here or run out of room.
More than 100 awards with the most
exciting yet to come in like tick like
tickets are behind
you. This is the Loretta
Lynns qualifying ticket,
an opportunity many dream of would never get
the biggest youth amateur
race in in the in the world.
How was the Hurricane Hills, Tennessee?
Only the top six kids in the
regionals get the opportunity
at this coveted checkered flag.
Tucker came in 6th and secured a spot.
He is one of 42 riders in his age
group from the entire country that will
compete next month in Tennessee against
the really fast kids.
The fastest and the best out there,
Tucker is the youngest competitor from Maine
since the Loretta Lynn started in 1982.
Armored up in protective gear
we buy a certain helmet so.
If when they do hit where that impact
zone is, it doesn't it it acts right
where it is and you gotta throw the
helmet away afterwards when you're
done, safety comes first in this
sport where speed also comes first,
and then he's ready to rip.
Did his first race
at 4 down in Skowhegan,
Maine at back 40 and we're like man,
he might have a knack for this.
Tucker spends a lot of
time training out of state.
He's realized that you know,
in order to get good at something,
you have to put in the practice at
practices where he's absorbed
everything like a sponge.
You know, I work a lot,
so my father's picked up been a
big big. Role model for my son.
I'm his Papa
Tucker and his Papa have a bond like
no other. Unfortunate enough to build the
transporting all over the United States,
basically to. To do his racing.
Tucker's father, Aaron, wasn't
able to race, but always wanted to.
Now he's watching his son carry
out his dream.
Every time I see him out there,
I kind of feel like I'm looking
to my own eyes. In its.
He's got it, you know he's got that.
It factor that you know is tough to teach.
It's you know, like kind of born with it
with his natural style and talent.
Tucker's key to success.
He had the past people in a tough
physically and mentally demanding sport.
Tucker Chase is chasing the dream.
It's fun and having fun.
Is what this life is all about?
Everyone who knows Tucker says he has
the talent to become a professional.
The Loretta Lynns race will be
happening the very first week of
August and we will be sure to be
tracking and rooting for Tucker
