Kade started racing just before his 4th birthday. The first couple years he raced in a Hare Scramble series while he lived in Canada. When Kade was 6 his dad changed his program to Motocross. Exactly 2 years later he competed at his first Loretta Lynn event.  Kade went to a public elementary school until grade 3, when his travel schedule forced him to change to a home school program. He's currently in the 7th grade.  He has two favotie tracks.  First, Waldo Motorsports who support him and actually change the track for him when he needs it modified for upcoming events. Also Oak Hill – He likes the track design, preparation and the soil is the best.   Chad Reed is his favorite rider for more reasons then he can count.  Kade will be involved in the following races this year:  Daytona SX (Amateur Day), Lake Whitney AMA Amateur National, Oak Hill GNC Amateur National, Mammoth AMA Amateur National, Loretta Lynn’s AMA Amateur National, TransCan (Canadian National Championship), FIM World Junior Championship, MX Des Nations (Support Classes), Bercy SX in Bercy, France and Mini “O”’s AMA Amateur National.

How did you get started racing?  "My Dad bought me an XR-50 when I was four.  I went to my first race at age six.  I got smoked!  My Grandma bought me a KTM 50 Pro Senior and I didn't race again until I was seven."  In 2006 Alexander qualified for the Loretta Lynn Amateur National Motocross Championship in the 50cc 7-8 Class.  It was his first national ever and he finished 10th.  The following year he went back to Loretta's and won the 65cc Stock 7-9 with an impressive 1-1-1 moto score.  
His favorite racing moment?  "Anytime I am winning (LOL).  Seriously it would be the title I won at Loretta's on the 85 mod, with a moto score of 1-2-1.  I had just dislocated my shoulder the week before at Ponca's and I was worried that I had messed up my chance to make some noise in Tennessee."
